Okay cats, we warned you a few weeks ago, now it's time for the final push.

Summer is over, we have some massive tunes to unleash, so come down to the Wheatsheaf in Oxford this Saturday, 30th August and see The Plugs create sonic mayhem. PLUS it's a Saturday, so no worries about getting up early the next day. Have a beverage.

The gig promoter has spoken thusly:

"The Plugs are an emerging talent from Oxford, mixing the intimate song-smithery of Elbow, the pop energy of The Feeling, and the anthemic grandeur of Muse. All these qualities are blended into something all of their own - edgy, exciting and new, yet with a sense of 'classic' stamped all over them. You may not have heard these songs before, but they touch on something so fundamental that they feel like old friends. Such sprightliness in the music, such eloquence in the presentation, such an unexpected absence of bassists: we urge you to come and experience the show."

Says it all, really. Some remaining tickets (cheaper if you buy them in advance, people!) are still available at http://www.wegottickets.com/event/32222- full details (as always) are available from www.theplugs.com/p>
So, to recap:

Also, a belated 'Thank you' to our new friends Tim and David at BBC Oxford who've played a few of our new tunes on the airwaves during their BBC Introducing show.

Does what it says on the tin, cats. Some new tunes from us as we get more of our recordings into shape at the luxurious Wingnut Studios.. (hopefully more coming soon!)

Until then, enjoy 'Seance for the Living' - as Spencer put it, "an indulgent slice of pop curiosity". Indeed.

We're at it again - The Plugs are playing live this Thursday, 13th March, at the Jericho Tavern in Oxford.

State-side friends Four Star Mary have asked us to open their show for them, so we'll be hitting the stage around 8:30 - which means plenty of time to chat and enjoy a nice beverage after the set, AND you can still make it home for the Family Guy double bill on BBC3. Sweet.

Oh, and did we mention you can now download our new EP "Demonstration" FOR FREE from http://www.last.fm/music/The+Plugs/Demonstration ? Get on that.

See you Thursday!

If that bucket of KFC and Die Hard 4 DVD doesn't hit the spot with your loved one tonight, or if it's just a Combo Meal for 1, why not make it up to him/her/yourself this Friday with a FREE gig?!

THE PLUGS are live at the Purple Turtle in Oxford tomorrow – Friday 15th - and it's FREE ENTRY before 9:00. That's good for you as we're due to hit the stage around then, so don't be late. (And they have crazy cheap drinks there, too.)

Hello again!

We dropped you an update last week, but here's a reminder:

NEXT FRIDAY - 15th February - The Plugs are playing at the Purple Turtle in Oxford, and it's FREE ENTRY before 9pm (we'll be on stage around 9:15 or so for a 45-minute set). It's been a few months, so come check out the new stuff - we're planning a scorcher!

We're also opening up for Four Star Mary on their UK Tour on 13th March at the Jericho Tavern in Oxford, and will be making sure to juggle the set around a bit, too.

Finally, more social networking! Come find us and befriend us at our newly-created pages:

Phew. We're still learning all the tricks of all the different sites, so drop us a line if you want to design a layout or otherwise let us know your secret.

See you next Friday 15th February at The Purple Turtle, Oxford

A belated Happy New Year to everyone out there in Plugs land. We'll cut to the chase - there's lots to tell.

First off, head over to MySpace at www.myspace.com/theplugs for a new track we finished over Christmas - you can also get other new tracks and music updates on Last.fm at www.last.fm/music/The+Plugs to play for your friends, colleagues, pets, children... Just get it out there! For all you FaceBookers, well, we're not there yet, but are working on that soon.

Next: GIGS!

Less than a month from now we'll be unleashing these said new tracks on Oxford. On 15th February, we'll be down the Purple Turtle (and it's a FREE GIG!), and again at the Jericho Tavern on 13th March supporting Four Star Mary. We plan to try something new at these gigs - over the last month we've built up a handful of exquisite themes and melodies, but rather than cram them into a pop song we'll be letting the song evolve LIVE on stage. You've told us you like the jammy epic bits in the set, so we'll give you MORE. Who else would do that for you, eh?

So drag your aforementioned friends, colleagues, pets, and children down to see us at either gig; more details at www.theplugs.com

And www.cdbaby.com/cd/plugs

Okay, cats - got the call from the movie people, but have been told we're not allowed to say anything until the official announcement on THEIR website. So there.

That won't stop us from playing, though!

Next Plugs gig is Wednesday 19th September, at The Cellar in Oxford - we are on stage around 9:00(-ish as usual) and it's a whopping 5 Bands for only 4 Pounds. Come down and we may tell you the results...

Next... We may have come to it a bit late, but The Plugs track 'Car Crash' is up now for voting on the Top of the Ox competition. What is it? Well, the usual 'text to win' voting malarkey with some goodie bags and cash prizes and studio recording time, etc.

Full details are available on our profile page at www.topoftheox.co.uk (you'll have to do a 'search' for it - cruddy MySpace won't let us put the direct link in!) ... Or you can just text: ox 385 to 83070 (we checked - it costs 50p plus your usual SMS charge... and only works in the UK)

See you next Wednesday!
