I thought it might be time for a little update to let you all know what is and has been going on with the band. They had a bit of a break starting early October as they had been playing so much during the year, all around Scotland, and it was just time to take a bit time off from gigging and concentrate on writing a bit more.

The band played their first gig for three months at the Box in Glasgow then a few days later at Cape in Stirling. The sets went down well and overall the crowds were good and last night, on 99.8FM in Aberdeen, Matthew played a live acoustic set and then was interviewed by June. Hopefully we can get some of the interview and tracks back for you all to hear.

Coming up in the next few weeks (2nd January) we're playing our first gig in Dundee in almost four months at the Dexter's with all our friends playing and its going to be a massive night so come down for it. After that, the very next day we are off to Glenrothes, then on the 9th we're at Mad Hatters in Inverness for the first time ever and after that on the 24th we are up in Aberdeen for a Red Stripe  event at Moshulu which could lead us to playing a festival down in England. If you want to come with us get in touch and we can sort something out. After that we are playing Dundee again with the Hazy Janes at Fat Sams and Revolver at Dexter's - all dates are on our MySpace page.

We are going to plan a lot for this year and no doubt we will be playing and recording more than ever but just want to say a thanks to anyone who came to a show, spoke to us and most of all anyone who listened to the music. 2008 was a great year for us; we played King Tuts, Road to Rockness, Go North and we played with our friends more than ever. We're going to carry it on to 2009 so keep listening as we will be announcing more things very shortly.

Merry Xmas and have a great New Year.

Rush Hour Soul

Now that the View-inspired fuss around the city is beginning to die down, it's perhaps time for the next Dundee group to make their stab at fame without being compared to the superstar tradesmen. With a pocket full of melody and a heart full of soul, this group may just capable of doing that. Combining the melodic touch of The Las with the crunch of prime era Idlewild, Rush Hour Soul had the audience eating out of the palm of their hand with a set that reminded you there's plenty left to explore in the City Of Discovery.

i love boobies.

Current mood:Hungover but optimistic

Slide On Down

oh no ive gone too far, oh no ive gone too far

did it look so good, did it taste so nice

did it keep you warm right through the night

oh no ive gone too far

 

Oh no you've gone too far, oh no you've gone to far

i know that you think you're too big for this town well i think you better take a look around

oh no you've gone too far

Why Don't You slide On Down With me

Feel The Sun

I Saw You Come In On Your Lazy Day

I Felt You Burn Out and Watched You Fade Away

to love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides

run while you can but you've nowhere to hide

 

I'm Sorry i left you on your own

but you should know why i had to go

everyone and everyplace, has its time, has its space

 

Brother do you see me, lover do you feel me, mother can you hear me

 

Draw The Line

So Lost For Perfect Words, two down and one unheard,causing interaction

Their faces turned and bled, and proved the lies you said that the tides are turning

 

Forget what you've been told you've got to break your mould

part the water

anticipation and recreation all fault your inspiration.

 

As your climbing you declining, burning slowly through the night

i said that i'm divided and undecided but you've got to know when to draw the line.

 

Odd Socks

everythings up in the air, but your acting like you dont care at all

and your pissing all you've got up the wall

your sleeping around the clock and your laughing at my odd socks

but does it look like your ignorance bother me?

Woh oh oh no.....

Now heres a rational thought to cross your mind, have you ever though so hard that you got left behind, cos your always getting left behind

your sleeping around that clock, but why you laughing at my odd socks

does it look like your ignorance bothers me?

Woh oh oh no....

One in one its all the same, two in two their all the rage, all the rage, all the rage.....

and you'll follow me back down....

Idle Eyes

i see you walking, past your streetlights, and i hear you talking like you own the night

don't put your idle eyes on me because i know what you've seen

don't put your idle eyes hands on me because i know where theyve been

I bet you think that those diamonds look pretty in your eyes

i bet you think that those diamonds shine brighter in your sky

Dirty Sex & Cigarettes

Stealing faces, forgetting places again

All the nights i wasted making you scream on my bed

All the dirty sex and cigarettes can't pay your rent on more

when you wake u in the morning dont you know i'll be gone

 

I'll be coming round, ive seen you shining out, she'll be going down

 

For every soul, you thought you stole, i'm taking it back for the enemy

 

Beer In The Morning

It's 80 outside, 90 inside, falling out your door

beer in the morning is the sunday after hangover cure

friday sits around, you drink you sorrows down, james sets the mood again

listening to the voices just ringing round in his head

 

and you think its gonna be just like the time before, but how easy is it gonna be when your heart cant take it anymore

 

So Pour another jack and lemonade, the sun came out and the rain got washed away, and i dont wanna go home, oh i just wanna go home

My ways they'll always stop and start and change, but my ideas will always stay the same but i dont wanna go home, i dont wanna go home without you

Spare change and frowns, it always brings you down but sometimes not so much

when you find an easy target and tell her that you love her enough

you like to mess around and watch me hit the ground, mistakes that make you laugh,

dying on your feet, but your still missing the point in a photograph

beer in the morning is the sunday after hangover cure and it'll wash all your worries,it'll wash all your troubles away even if its just for a day.

Sixteen

money, stealing, off the little waster but dont you understand you've got to pay her

ive been here sixteen times or more trying to get your feet off the floor

 

She never hurt anyone but shes 16 and shes got her ways

 

Drink in the afternoons its what you paid for, make up the time you lost and never left home,

ive been here sixteen times or more, trying to get your feet off the floor

 

The Art Of Conversation Is Dead

Little do you notice, lines are making progress

and i aint gonna stay alive, i aint gonna stay alive

when your swallowing your world, thats making sense to you

and i aint gonna stay alive, i aint gonna stay alive

 

But its fallen on deaf ears again, and no one listens cos no ones in your head

kiss me again and ill kill you my friend cos im sick of all your promises

I'll be gone before you, I'll be gone before you

 

I can see the start of tears, your emotional my dear,

but iaint gonna stay alive, i aint gonna stay alive

when your swallowing your world, thats making sense to you

i aint gonna stay alive, i aint gonna stay alive

 

But its fallen on deaf ears again, and no one listens cos no ones in your head

kiss me again and ill kill you my friend cos im sick of all your promises

I'll be gone before you, I'll be gone before you

 

Caramel Barrel

Still deciding which way to go but its the same way out of a different hole

doing things that are sparking fear and disgrace but its harder to think when you all over the place

slipping and sliding away when all the work turn to play

i cant help it, its not my fault when shes crying on the floor but wont tell me what for

 

You know you had me at hello

You always had me at hello

You know you had me but theres no way im gonna run back down when a caramel barrel is all i ever got

 

I Just Got Here Yesterday 

loving lost and all these crosses on my eyes are fading

ill get lost but i dont mind cos you caught me jaded

 

I Just got here yesterday and i dont know which way im going

 

Loving Lost and all these crosses n my eyes are fading

and i can think of a hundred million reasons why i would never want to see your face again

 

La da da da da da da da.....


Broken Bones

How hard can it be to live a life of purity

You're standing in the corner just to watch events unfold before your

Eyes are looking sinister, they show a different side to you

But I don't mind because I quite like a mysterious smile


Broken bones and sunken stones make the day go by so slow

Just when you think that you've climbed out you're falling back below


But I've got time

Time to get back into space

And I've got time

Time to see your pretty face

It just keeps me going, keeps me moving on

But nothing ever fixes when you're being so withdrawn

Take the time to talk to me don't think that I've forgot

Broken bones and sunken stones remind you what you've got


Smoking Gun


Take your pride take your smile take your self abuse

You're trying hard not to lie but it aint no use

Got your head got your style got your killer boots man


Run away run away I've got you in my sight you might think its unfair

But I've got the right to leave, to breathe, to be abused


It's always you you you

It's never me me me

Take a look inside

Tell me what you see


Cos not everyones got a killer side

Not everyones leaving you behind

Its only you that's blind to reality

Not everyones waiting for the sun
Not everyones got a smoking gun
It's only you that's blind to reality


Take your pride take your smile take your self abuse

You're trying hard not to lie but it aint no use

Got your grace got your eyes got your killer boots man


Run away run away I've got you in my sight you might think its unfair

But I've got the right to leave, to breathe, to be abused


Cos not everyones got a killer side

Not everyones leaving you behind

Its only you that's blind to reality

Not everyones waiting for the sun
Not everyones got a smoking gun
It's only you that's blind to reality

Not everyone......

thats all for nooo =) xx
