so here we are. june really isn't june this year, think it was warmer in march, where's the CA sunshine, we're all still wearing cardigans and hoodies… won't be getting any warmer for the 45s as we head north in two weeks for a couple of shows –

10th July The Forum, Darlington
11th July Snooty Fox, Wakefield
12th July Trillians, Newcastle

if you live anywhere near any of these, then there is really no excuse not to come hang out. maybe we'll even let you sit in the 45 van and wear our clothes.

also, we have a london show at bar monsta, camden town, on the 17th july. bar monsta was the scene of ivan's faux pas where he managed to offend almost everyone in the room… and he wasn't even talking about his 'butter candies'…

july will also see the long-awaited, long-anticipated release of our amazing new EP 'Too Blonde For You'. So get those PayPal accounts activated and prepare to have an incredible new record lodged on you CD player for the next six months. it'll also be available on the commercial monster known as iTunes. 'put me out of my misery'… poor dave pirner.

on another note, 'use your illusion' is now retailing in HMV at £3. when did g'n 'r become cool again? everyone is wearing their shirts. right about now, we're at LA slut rock – Hanoi, the guns, g'n'r… next up should be nirvana and wax. kasabian are totally out of kilter – has no one told them stone roses won't be coming round again for another year or so. please feed me strong and holy anaesthetic when 'madchester' makes a reappearance luuurrrrgggggh.

iggy was amazing at glastonbury, you see the guy and you see history. too many coked-up idiots though… cocaine, the drug which requires no balls or mental strength, the smirnoff ice of narcotics. get out of my face you boring aviator-wearing retard!

anyway, it's kebabs again for dinner tonight as we put some finishing touches and sonic magic to our aforementioned EP. it's good shit.

happy trails kids

Love and a .45 xxx
