Well, I finally got around to updating this thing. Like that song LL Cool J wrote for the shark travesty of film that is Deep Blue Sea, about a fucking SHARK! That plays over the end credits and spoils what was already a shite film, and makes it even worse.
Anyhow, I have returned from tour...bossanova. Satori and Nadja where gentlemen ( and gentleladies) to us and we got treated like the kings we think we are. Despite the usual tour happennings of fucked vans, horrible weather and London parking/traffic it was a success. Satori are mesmerising in the live setting with the visuals they incorporate and Nadja transcend a lot of regular guitar/noise stuff with the sheer crushing melody and fragile atmosphere they create, Aiden and Leah are superb.
Edingburgh was a success. Top gig, Russel Black Sun and Polish neo-nazis made an appearance. I also met William Bennet of Whitehouse fame, really nice guy, nothing like you would expect. He ( according to the promoter Nick ) loves Guitar Hero and is a master at it. Speaking of Nick, he introduced me to the awesome dirge of Drunks With Guns, search the info out..immense, ahead of there time and aggro as fuck. I uploaded the lbum for you dicks here.....
DRUNKS WITH GUNS - Second Verses
Anyhow...the tour carried on and despite the biggest travesty I have ever heard of ( Mogwai Djing at a venue we played at to be paid 1500 rips and only playing 2 records!) was superb. We sold tons of merch and sounded louder than most people could ever understand. Matt got immensly hammered, so did I, abused people, played loud, fell over, got into arguments, abused the AA ( karma ) and stole stuff.
But there should be a video up on Youtube from the Coventry gig shortly, it involved us using Satori's projector and DVD player to show Kieth Lemmon on the wall next to us while we played in our underwear. At the time it was funny. Also this footage from the London Underworld gig.....bossanova.
The Ergon Carousel have begun booking gigs for the New Year and we did a photoshoot with my good friend Macky on Sunday, as magazines are banging on about some kind of pictures. Look out for them shortly.
Road trip to ATP on Friday. Plus 3 whole sets from the Melvins over the weekend spanning there entire career. Fuck your god dickheads.
Great Success.
