X MAN

We did a good rehearsal in Putney today...that's all there is to report. I played the drums and then there was a car crash outside, luckily no-one was injured. Also we threw in a few surprises for our live set @ the garage. WOOOO... be there or be circle.

Apologises, Dours, Rehearsals and the Garage

Wow... so its been a good couple of weeks at least since our last blog and seeing as a certain someone *cough* (Stefan) originally promised a new one each day, we can only apologise! I'd also like to apologise in advance if this blog is not up to the usual standard of Stef's. You see, for today's blog at least, your just gonna have to make to with boring old Dru! "oh for f*ck sake" I hear you say... well tough and you never know you might enjoy reading it! -You've got this far!

Anyways, Stef was actually absent from the PP camp last week as he was 'avin it large in Belgium for the great 'Dours' festival. I've heard he had an amazing time and saw a sick line up, which included 'Does It Offend Yeah?' and 'Rolo Tomassi' although i don't really see how he can remember. You should have seen the amount of vodka they took.... obscene amounts! But now home, slightly hungover and tad smelly you'll be pleased to know that our beloved Stef has now been chained to his computer with guitar in hand!
I know, I know this only accounts for last week. But the days leading up to Stef's trip were packed with little tasks and jobs that kept us all pretty busy. We played a couple of shows (big thank you to those of you who made it down), did a lot of rehearsing and have also been working on some new stuff. So don't worry we didn't love you and leave you! In fact we're playing our first headline show next week so if you haven't done already make sure you book your tickets. It's at 'Upstairs at the Garage' on the 28th and you can book your tickets here.

We hope to see you all down there, and we'll let you know how rehearsal goes on Thursday!

Another insect related blog

Flys, Bees, Wasps and BLOODY Moths are suddenly EVERYWHERE in Fulham!! Picture this five friends in one tiny room... you have to sleep with the window open and then suddenly these pathetic little insects are flying through the window landing on you and all sorts. Have you seen the size of some of these moths too? It's absoloutely mental. I don't wanna kill them but it's so hard to catch them.

Sorry for the lack of blog posts we've been busy writing and me and some friends are also coming up with a few tracks (more will be revealed shortly). But that's pretty exciting. Oh also we played a show at YoYo - Notting hill arts club with a greaaaat atmosphere. Got a lot of familiar faces but also some new ones too. The last couple of days we've just been chilling in the sun (or working at urban outfitters for me) and getting ready to go to Dour festival in Belgium which is going to be nuts. Too bad we're not playing it :( but definitely next year.

Have a good start of the week x

TENNIS & HADOUKEN

Hey guys so we've just uploaded a new song called 'Tennis' to celebrate Wimbledon fever...and we have also just confirmed a show supporting Hadouken & This City which is pretty fucking exciting at Concorde 2 in Brighton. It's all ages and doors are at 7:30 so get down eaaarly right at the front se we can see you.

I feel like I should write more but they're both exciting stories so instead of reading about why I have a hangover go enjoy our new song x

The Art Of Minesweeping...

MINESWEEPING
 Stefan Abingdon 2009

This is a very easy game to play it requires a lack of morals and it's very important that you have no self respect (and is mostly only played by students or broke musicians).

The first thing you will need to do is gain entry (make sure you don't pay) to a nightclub preferably with VIP tables / sections. The next step is check your surroundings and plan a get away. Now remind yourself this is not a game of theft it's a game of taking advantage of your surroundings. Now spot a drink that has been poured with a bottle of the complimentary spirit and left on it's own...Grab it, make a quick dash and consume with responsibility.

The hat trick; Time it so a bar man is just about to pour away a pre-made drink, walk up to it and deliver the line

'I'm sorry sir this drink is mine'

you will then feel a small sense of pride until you realise you're a thieving little toe-rag.

...More games soon!

PS. I've never played this in my life I swear.

West Rocks & Flowerpots

So I've been checking the views counter (at the bottom of the page) and we're starting to get well happy about the response, I've only had it up for a couple of weeks and already over 700, that's awesome. I've been writing so much music recently and re-doing a lot of old tracks too so look out for that, we're all getting ready to play at The Flowerpot tomorrow and then DJ @ West Rocks on friday reaaaally looking forward to both of those.

If you're about tomorrow get to The Flowepot at 9pm. And if you cant make that get to West Rocks for about 11pm!

Two good nights recommended by me...so what if we're playing both of them?!

Picture of the day...

...that is all.
