Current mood:I want a new guitar
Category: Automotive
Hello again dearest reader. Tis only us again with the quickest of quickie updates to let you happy few know what we have been up to. In a vain effort to make ourselves more now we is gonna drop some ‘street’ into this mofo blog. Anyway, onward and upward - here is the news read by PEI innit. wentNORTH Yup indeedy, we have just returned from playing at goNorth in Inverness. Many thanks for everyone at the WIN Trust for having us on their stage, and ChrisBoom for making the call. Spesh thanks to Innes, Graeme, Jori and Careen & Kathryn who are the main reason we keep doing these things. They do a sterling job promoting new bands in the H&Is. If any wealthy folks are feeling generous and fancy donating to the WIN Trust (They are a chairty), which helps them put on the ‘Sounds in the Grounds’ bash each year along with other events, then search out their Myspace page and introduce yourselves. Rispects, innit yeah! At this point PEI would like to send their best wishes to Innes and hope he gets well soon. There must have been something in the mainland water that didn’t agree with him. The gig was good fun, Hootenanny’s is a fine venue and Inverness is lovely. We wish we could have stayed on a few days but, you know, work ‘n all. We played like a complete dog (Faye’s planets were not aligned) but nobody seemed to notice out front. Actually, in the current climate of ‘naming and shaming’ following the MPs expenses scandal, maybe we should name a few names: - iBruce forgot the words to every song so he just repeated the same verses over and over. - iBruce ‘lost’ his guitar for half the set- iBruce forgot to come in with the ‘whoooooohs’ in ‘Lets stay in…’- iMunter forgot to come in with the ‘whoooooohs’ in ‘Lets stay in…’- iElleray missed his big drop out guitar moment by about three yards- iBlondie dropped a drumstick during the intro to ‘Keith….’ Good recovery though. Gotta be said.- iMunter forgot to play the recorder. Yup, FORGOT to play an instrument.- iD4 (our little machine) was messing up all through ‘Sex in the morning’ which was a complete shambles all round. Somehow, we managed to get so far out of time that we gained a whole beat over two bars. Not good. Not good at all. Apologies to iMatheson. We’d put literally minutes of practice in the day before and still we messed it up. What a bunch ‘o mofo hoes.- iJackson was pretty tidy all round- iPearce was on fire. iP Single out about now-ish The new single, ‘Sex in the morning (I’m coughing, you’re yawning)’, is out about …um……now. Yes…lets say exactly NOW – from this moment on. Just then. It’s available from us, BabyBoom Records and Indiestore on download (well, it will be in a minute when I‘ve got round to changing our Indiestore page). It's not radio friendly so don't expect to hear it anywhere. The B-side is ‘Let’s stay in and go to town’ which blagged itself onto Radio 1 a few weeks ago via Vic Galloway’s show. If any of you were somehow listening to the radio at that time of night the strange psychedelic mess about half way through was Radio 1’s attempt at covering up the swear word. We think they somehow reversed the bit with the rudies in it. This sounds like a game worth playing again. A bit like repeating every word your little brother says. The wonderful sleeve graphics are by Islander Faye. We all think it’s rather too pornographic but Faye insisted, cos she is a mofo hoe. In true Radiohead style we are offering the limited addition single for whatever you fancy paying for it, but you have to make something or give us something interesting in return - a tea cosy, books, toys that make a noise, pictures, drawings, sea shells, reviews in mags, dancing girls, smack. Anything that you think has a value to you and to us (Hiroho in Japan once sent us some tea bags). What we definately don't want is cash. PS - Barring that, we are set up to except cash (although, remember, never send cash in the post. My brother is a postman. They is a bunch of no-good mofo thievin ’hoes) PSS – I don’t think this offer applies to BabyBoom Records or Indiestore. New song Up Yep. It does exactly what it says on the tin. We’ve posted the new single’s B-side ‘Lets stay in and go to town’. It’s the second track in our love song trilogy. There are three songs in a trilogy. Three minus two = one more to come. Ooh, the anticipation. And yes, it has a swear word in it. We’ve just noticed that half of ‘Sex in the morning’ is missing on MySpace. It’s not an abrupt ending. You know what MySpace are? Yup, they is a bunch of ………’. We all know it's a bad sign if sex in the morning has started to disappear so we‘ll upload the song again as soon as we can but not now cos The Simpsons is just starting on the telly box. Net Sounds iD and iF did a post-goNORTH gig interview with Net Sounds which should be on in a couple of weeks. We may post it up if it's funny enough. Apparently, they were like toddlers after drinking too much pop. Big Tent We here on the Island are all looking forward to Big Tent at Falkland Palace in July. Hope to see you both there. We are probably playing the Classic Grand in Glasgow on the way up on the Friday night. To be confirmed. We are also gonna set up a couple of London dates cos we’ve literally been bombarded with literally hundreds of requests (two requests) to play down yonder again. Again, the words ‘confirmed’, ‘to’ and ‘be’ spring to mind. Competition Yup…it’s mofo comp time again. This month it’s is a bit of a toughie, but good luck to everyone, especially my nephew, Steve, who has somehow managed to win every competition so far. The winner (Steve) will get a free copy of the new single with the rude bits coloured in by iMunter. The question is: If six people are in a bus travelling at a speed of 80mph for 11 hours, how stupid are they? ‘Til next time Rispects, innit yeah. The Edward Islanders formerly known as Prince.
