Very few posts get put on here these days, but statistics show that people, whether intentionally or not, still visit this page for whatever reason, and bands still exist to request our friendship, boosting numbers that mean absolutely nothing.

A few years ago, Rupert Murdoch (owner of News International and this very site also) broke with his previous anti-web stance and diverged his interests somewhat.  Users such as yourself will know that the market has pretty much been cornered by facebook (fewer ads, less clunky looking, and without the facility for novices to wreck their pages through poor html and CSS).  Still, often the first place people check out bands remains Myspace, although the Guardian newspaper predicts dark times ahead: check this story out:

Still, facebook is no angel, and if it wasn't for the monopoly both sites have over us, it would be nice to dispense with both, which is why we try and make our own independent website (www.actionier.co.uk) have more shit on it than you will find on either myspace or facebook.  To the extent that we are redesigning everything to make us sexier than multinationals.  And they're pretty darn sexy.  Mhmm Coca Cola:

So if you've kept reading this far, you will have gleaned very little actionier or kimmy yeah info, and about 30% polemic.  So here goes:

Actionier's sophomore album 'Fire And Dinosaurs' is slowly being mixed and fixed whilst our absent percussionist, Sam, finishes up sorting out Japan (they may have honour and deference, but they lack Sam's sweatshirts and empathy).  The three Kimmy's will be performing a rather secret gig mid-July that will be recorded and filmed, and depending on whether its tidy enough for general release, will be released somehow.  Great lovers of free shit that we are, we will try and make as much avaiable through our 'proper' website as possible, to which I urge anyone that hasn't signed up to our mailing list to do so at:

http://www.actionier.co.uk/

No pressure of course, but we'd like to think our (often rare) mailouts have some value that Murdoch's money-haemorraging machine does not.  An early version of album track 'Bloodbath' is already on there.  It might not be your favourite, but stay tuned, there'll be more.

Of course, if you would like either actionier (after september) or kimmy yeah (late July) to play your house, DIY show, farmers market or school disco, drop us a line at:

info@actionier.co.uk

And you'll be sure to get a response.  Some of your reading this might even get an invite to the ultra special KY show next month.  We'll see.

Skillz out.
