Oran Mor Easter Sunday (4th April 2010)

April 1st, 2010

Holy Cow! We’re playing a show on Easter Sunday* with Aaron Wright and the Aprils. Its a paltry £5 in and it’s going to be real good. We’ll be airing a special selection of ‘Numbers’  from the next record. So make a ceremonial sacrifice and make an ‘Exodus’ from your home to come worship with us at the altar of rock. Make no mistake, it’s going to be religious….. You can ‘Mark’ my words, if you don’t come along you’ll be saying ‘eli, eli, lama sabachthani’** and flagellating** all the way home…… eternally***.Key: * 4th April - this coming Sunday** look it up ***forever �

New Hings*

Touring with Camera Obscura is brilliant and comes highly recommended. Watching them play is also brilliant and necking booze with them after they’ve played is equally good. Playing The Barrowlands, watching them play The Barrowlands and necking booze with them after we’d all played The Barrowlands was particularly brilliant. Thanks Camera Obscura xWe aired a new song on the tour which seemed to go down a right treat. It seems “Stay Before you Leave” ensures audiences stay before they leave…..I was lucky enough to play pedal steel with C.O. on a couple of their new songs. Their new album is excellent. Go get some….  I got to have a pint with Richard Hawley in Sheffield. He warned me in no uncertain terms that Henderson’s Relish (The Spicy Yorkshire Sauce) is almost certainly better than Worcester Sauce. It seems that i have created a new neural pathway….. With persistent and dogged determination i can now easily complete ‘medium’ level sudoku puzzles in the guardian. Only moments earlier i managed to unblock my bathroom sink which was clogged with 3 razor blade heads, a toothpaste cap and a pair of tweezers.We’re playing Darvel music festival on Friday with our good friends Dropkick and The Primary 5. More new songs afoot…. x T*Things

Darvel Music Festival

Thanks to everyone who came to see us on the Camera Obscura tour. We had a brilliant time. Next up is Darvel on Friday the 8th…. Should be good. Maybe we’ll see you there?

Colin’s Sexy Armpit

April 23rd, 2009

Shepherd’s Bush Empire tonight. Can’t wait.Tour is lots of fun. Manchester last night was great. Playing to packed out venues which makes for a brilliant atmosphere. Colin was rocking so much last night he tore a big whole in his shirt and all the people in the front rows could see his naked, sexually threatening armpit/bit between your back and your front torso.Currently sitting in the dressing room in Shepherds Bush Empire which is adorned with pictures of Iggy Pop, Elton John, Bono, Liam Gallagher and Macca. This is a venue with some real rock history so we will need to do it justice tonight. Our wonderful tour manager Stevie Dreads has pointed me in the direction of an amazing song. This Mortal Coil’s version of ‘Song To The Siren.’ Beautiful. It’s a constant on the tour bus and dressing room at the moment. I’ve never really listened to the Cocteau Twins before but I’m gonna get some of their stuff I’ve decided.Band is sounding good on stage. Tight yet relaxed at the same time. Maybe we’ve stepped up a level or something. Or maybe we have finally learned how to play our own songs at long last.Top 5 on my Ipod today areSong To The Siren - This Mortal CoilEverything Counts - Depeche ModeCreatures Of Love - Talking HeadsBirthday - SugarcubesMoon and Moon - Bat For LashesCheers,K4:25 PM 0 Comments(Add Comment) |Translate Ed
