Our Mark 'Krem, Kreminem, Krem-a-Krem, Kremakon 9000000, 99, General Zod, Rain Man, Her Ping Ping' Heron is featured in February's edition of 'Drummer'. A pretty large article, it focuses on the man's unique and focused approach to epic drum geekery. Check it out.

Thanks also to our incredible support acts - Vessels, And So I Watch From Afar and Brontide. All were spectacular.

Highlights? - London, Liverpool, Manchester, Nottingham, Glasgow.... all warm and vibe-tastic (despite major gremlins in our machines at the London show. Thanks for egging us on - we really needed it).

Lowlights - Aberdeen Tunnels was kind of an uphill struggle. A sold out show rammed with intoxicated people shouting at each other. So loud was the bustle that it made it actually very difficult to play some of the quieter numbers. Thanks to those who did listen, we appreciate your patience.

We're also aware that some of you maybe didn't get to hear your favourite songs on this tour - dually noted, although it was expected. We, perhaps quite selfishly, played lots of unreleased material in preparation for the recording of our new album, which will commence this week. Also, often the songs that get requested are 10 minutes long, and enough of them will cane half the set. Also, we don't want you guys seeing the same show over and over. Apologies if you didn't get your song - we'll try to make it up to you next time. Dates are being pencilled in for September, i believe.

Huge love to our crew across the various dates - Ace TM/Guitar tech Ben Pomphrett, Sound bringer Oyvind Kurszus, and lampies Dave Morrissey and Ben (surname not available at this time). Did us proud, they did.

Hopefully we'll get some kind of video blog going for the recording. If there's time. Oh fuck, the camera's broke innit. Forgot. Hmm.

Peace, love and a multitude of distortion effects,

Michael James Vennart.

The geekier of our guitar-playing audience might find it of interest to learn that we are featured in this month's edition of popular UK guitar magazine, 'Guitar Buyer'. In there, you'll find a 4 or 5 page article telling you aaaaallll about out guitars/pedals/amps. Cos we KNOW you love that shit. Get it. It's the one with the big red Shadows Strat on the front.

xxxxxxxxxx

PS - All you spam-tastic bands/promoters/pluggers: PLEASE FUCK THE FUCK OFF. STOP SENDING US INVITES TO GIGS IN BRAZIL, CHICAGO AND FUCK KNOWS WHERE ELSE. WE'RE HARD PUSHED TO TRAIPS OVER TO FUCKING LEEDS OR (GOD FORBID) LIVERPOOL, NEVER MIND FUCKING PETERBOROUGH. YOU WILL BE THE DEATH OF THIS MYSPACE, WITH YOUR WHALE-SPUNK-LIKE INFLUX OF INCONSEQUENTIAL BULLSHIT FOR ME TO WADE THROUGH EVERY SINGLE BASTARDING TIME I LOG IN.

CHEERS

We've had a lot of questions about this the last few days, but have only just got confirmation.

Luckily our friends in Brontide, And So I Watch You From Afar and Vessels have been flexible enough to join us on our new tour. Many thanks and apologies to them for buggering about!

Here's the bills, some have been re-jigged very slightly.

PLEASE get down early, we want these ace bands to have a full house.

Here's the new UK tour.
