We did our first two gigs as a three piece at the weekend. They went much better than I expected, as I was quite nervous about how everything was going to happen.
I’ve spent the past two weeks working out how to play two synthesizers at the same time, and I think I was just about ready to pull it off live.
It certainly felt a bit lonely on stage with only Lorien and Ben for company, but we made up for it by being, I’d say, approximately 140% more manly than we’ve ever been. I’ve decided to scream a lot more, and thrust out some riffs with Lorien. That’s pretty satisfying!
The gig in Reading on Sunday was quiet but very fun, with quite possibly the best disco I’ve heard in a long while by the promoters.
So what’s next? We’re recording at the moment, and we’re doing a full tour of this lovely United Kingdom we live in throughout May. We’re getting a new 7″ together, we’re making some dramatic new teeshirts, some shoes, Lorien and I want to make some Cats in Paris wine, but we’re arguing too much about ingredients.
Anyway. The future! Here is a picture of it.

Tom from Bath on March 23rd, 2009 at 4:51 pmAlright fellas. I have to say, I was blissfully happy when I’d noticed you are going to be playing down south again soon (Bristol), which prompted me to come here, only to notice you’d gone and lost a bleddy band member!
Aaaaaaanyway, I don’t know if you remember my photos from Moles, Bath but I’d be happy to shoot some more for you when you’re down next.
Also, iTunes is currently stating that I’ve played your album in it’s entirety 47 times. This doesn’t sound a lot but I’ve got 12,000 songs on iTunes. It just keeps getting hookier/better/louder, not only that, but it makes me clean my dishes twice as fast!
Right, I’ll shut up now. Cheers guys!
Tom
