tourz dayz

hey all,

in newcastle this morning. just woke up. picture above might suggest how we
feel today. played the end bar for jack and joel at get involved. really awesome bloody crowd. lovely fun
time chaps. they took us out to a gay bar then a booozzy rock pub. fun ra ra. i
hate them. played glasgow the day before at stereo where we got fed 60 bean
chilli. jeff from we versus the shark almost made the dish of food come back
out of his mouth end on stage when playing. chilli hurl balls. its been amazing
sunny weather somehow. it makes everything so much different. hungover but kind
of happy. its like spain but less hot and more like england. what?. setting off
for a show in barrow in furness very soon at the canteen. we hear of some
lovely folk up that way who will be pleased to see us. I cant see why anyone
would be pleased to see us in such a lovely, calm, beautiful and quiet
district. Maybe its like the wicker man? Fuck I hope its not like the wicker
man.



we have new t-shirts, a tour cd and some tote bags on this tour. Melty beard
face man action. Anyway I have to put some trousers on and get in a van. Speak
soon. Videos soon. Photos soon. etclol soon.

really sorry like

Not updated this for a while. We been slacking. Got some time off at the moment and we are writing new material. We just recorded new track 'E = MC Hammer' which is getting released in April. More details on that soon. It sounds like large hammers smashing down on the sea. We swoon off around the UK with the bloody amazing Blood Red Shoes on 10th March. Were all over the moon to be off on tour with Laura and Steve. Canny wait. Check myspace for dates. The shows are mainly down south but fear not everyone else. We are all over the shop in mid/late March with We versus the Shark. I'm writing a new song right now called 'Circle of Friends'. I think I've stolen it from yeah, yeah, yeahs though. Bollocks. Re-think time.

This weeks NME has me giving some terrible advice in a new n' unsigned band column in the back about video diaries and the web. Don’t listen to a word I say to any of you. Seriously.

Super wind chop ur dad.

You see!

I went to the Yorkshire dales the other day. It was rad yes>






More news on some amazing new tours and releases soon for yee all. We'll have a brand new track on our myspace player on Monday night after 9pm. Listen to Steve Lamacq on BBC Radio 1 next Monday. That’s all I can say.

Keep ur beef close to ur heart guys and gals.

Mother ship Brown signing out.

Scooby dooby fucking doo. So been looking into the idea of smashing it up in the bath with a new book and only just realised David Shrigley has a book out I didnt know about. Came out fairly recently I believe. I hope and prey its contents will cheer me up so much I float up from the steaming hot water of my deep bath and I become a better more well rounded human being person people man.
