Hi pals,
Been a while since an update, so thought we'd fire on off in lieu of some upcoming shows, and ask for a wee favour.
Firstly, two amazing shows coming up. Obits are
touring Europe next month, and they've very kindly asked us to play
with them in Ireland. Obits are the new venture for Rick Froberg, ex of
Hot Snakes and the mighty Drive Like Jehu, who's 'Yank Crime' remains
my favourite record of time. Rick also did the artwork for the last
Corpo record. To say we're excited for these shows is an
understatement. Tragically, the Dublin show falls the same night as the
Ireland/Italy World Cup qualifier, but don't let that stop you, watch
the game in the bar, and catch the show after!!
09/10 Black Box, Belfast
10/10 Twisted Pepper, Dublin
Check out
www.myspace.com/obitsband for the rest of their dates and catch 'em if you can!
Secondly, one of the tunes from the last album has been nominated in a
song competition for a festival in Derry. Bizarrely, the handy internet
pie chart tells us we're in with a chance of winning, so I've no idea
what the prize is (I'm assuming automatic qualification for next years
Eurovision), but if you've got two seconds pop over to
http://music55-7.com/cityofsong/ and give us a vote!
Alright, forgive my pathetic crassness, see you down the front at Obits hopefully!
