It Never Pains, It Roars.

I feel like there is a dementor (hp) outside my window, on account of the torrential downpour, so i’m doing a small written account of where the band is at, at the moment and what we’re hoping to do in the future

there’s plenty of ideas for half-birthed tunes, they’ll be heavy/clean, loud/twinkly, dancey/thoughtful.

we’ve been playing “itchy blood” alot recently (it’s our favourite), with a view to having it recorded alongside a rework of the now classic (jokes) white star line, these recordings are hopefully going to act as a more faithful representation of our sound as it stands, including our keyboard player and all the daft guitar noises we’ve started using.

we want to play as far away from home as possible, as soon as possible. if you think you could help out with that, without charging us like 50 quid to play or booing about CD-R’s, contact us through this internet, thing, or ring me on 01924 501439, in much the same way, we are well up for getting bands up here playing and stealing all our fans, so let us know if you’re up for that.

go and watch trapped under ice (www.myspace.com/underdaice) next week, they got robbed in europe somewhere and could do with the support, regardless, they are one of the hardest bands out for years and deserve your money.

keep listening to clockcleaner, oh yeah and jawbreaker.

Did you know, Marcus’ Dad got stabbed?

So, we’ve been excited for this gig for quite a long time with an air of anxiety surrounding us. Wanting to impress, yet feeling quietly confident we’d put on a good show. The morning got off to a good start as we enterted the bathroom to find Kate and will half naked sprawled across the floor. Although not undertaking in some explicit scenario as predicted, we watched whilst Will got his hair (it’s fabulous I must add) dyed black. This however led to Me, louis and horse becoming increasingly restless. Marcus then had a momentary lapse in common sense and so forth dyed a cross into the back of his head. After realising what he had actually done Horse proceeded to pin Louis down and destroy his Golden locks with, and I quote Stephen here, ‘An Avenged Sevenfold fringe’

The tragic happenings of the night before somewhat put a hault to our festivities, but doing want our band does best, we were insensitive and went to visit liam in Superdrug. After the purchase of some American style chicken nuggets, gazing into Liams black eye and buying some CDs we proceeded back to Big Kevs and Lyndas to burn some Demos. Anyways, 4.30 past, and so did 5 until we finally decided to set off and on arrival we were met by a Bill Bailey look-a-like and his apprentice. Upon realisation that the venue was quite big nerves began to set, a few renditions of Magnets later and we were back at the Jones household for what can only be described as the best Fishcake sandwich ever.

First of all, Id like to say how sound the other band was and that even though the music lacked originality we still had a right good time. The gig went well with Marcus once again throwing himself on the floor, wrapped in the Mic lead as Stephen looked on afraid his power lead may come out( it had to be done Duffy, i’m sorry). Cement lasted about 7 hours and itchy blood may have sounded a tad better if my Keyboard wasnt on the lowest volume settting but nonetheless I think we had a good show. Free beer, accompanied by the loves of our lives (friends and family alike) and people becoming accustomed to the radical new hairstyles of two members of the band, what more could we ask for?

Thanks to Liams Mum and Dad for letting us go round afterwards, to Rammy-the crazy bastard running about dancing to ‘Victims of Arseholes’ and to (how cliched) the ‘fans’ who bothered to show up.

“I’m Bloggin’ Out”

Last night was a blast!

Eternal Peace to :

• Jamie and his mum for having us on again!
• Kev for sorting our lives out as always.
• Behringer PA system for not shitting the bed at the last minute.
• People who danced!

Last night was our “live debut” (how good does that sound) with our new keyboard player, George “G MAN” Hughes, he was ace so fuck the haters!  we also had a crack at a new tune called “Itchy Blood” which is about pens running out of ink and black flag, needless to say, its a banger.

Post-gig, we went back to Stephens, where he not only provided warm beds but also massive LOL’s by chatting just about as much shit as it is scientifically possible for one person to do so in the space of what? 20 minutes?

highlights include : him getting mad and telling us that he was “bigger” than all of us because he played in a band that played with a band that did a split with Gallows (LOL WHAT?!) as though this was some sort of conclusive proof that he had balls size XXL and would soon be appearing on MTV Cribs. To be fair to the lad, i think alot of this might have had something to do with rose wine but, well played nonetheless!

we’re really keen on doing alot of small shows and getting drunk this summer, so if you need a band for a house party, or have a house for a band party, write me a letter, stalk us on the internet, phone me (girls only) or come and call for us to see if we’re lecking out.

oh yeah, we’re playing for a Battle Of The Bands at The Mead Hall in Cleckheaton, above The George/Turnstiles this coming Saturday, which promises to be a really good night. The guy behind this is legit, trying his hardest to push all sorts of live music in our area for FREE, taking care of bands and making sure everyone has a laugh! this is definately a breath of fresh air in a world of ” so and so dodgy death metal promotions” and top notch wankers lining their own pockets. we’re gonna play a few covers, all our new songs and have a good time, seen as exams are pretty much over, come show your face!

In the meantime, listen to : Clockcleaner, Bombay Bicycle Club and The Shitty Limits.
