I Fucking Rule

Phew, what an insane 24 hours that was... Yesterday (Thursday), the lovely Mr Jamie Stuart (of Dive Dive) got married. He flatteringly invited us to play and we obliged, including few uncletastic covers in our set (Frank Turner & The Wedding Band, anyone?). Then, as tradition dictates, we got lashed. This morning, having heard the awful news that Truck was cancelled, I made my way to Aldershot and appeared in a video shoot for Reuben's new single, "Deadly Ninja Assassin", on which I sung for their album. Then I played a solo show at Westival, before heading to Oxford and playing two Trcuk replacement shows at Brookes and the Port Mahon. So that's 4 shows, 1 wedding and 1 video shoot in 24 hours. Beat that.

In more serious news, yup, Truck got pulled, which was a real fucking shame. My moping on the subject was put firmly in its place by seeing the state of some of the Truck crew, who were not happy bunnies. There's a reschedule for September which unfortunately I can't make, but here's to those guys for keeping their heads, and here's to many more years of Truck madness.

September Tour Dates

As some people may have already seen, I've been given permission to announce the tour dates for the UK Softcore Tour 2K7. This is going to fucking rule. The line up is me, Jonah Matranga, Jacob Golden and Joshua English. We're all playing solo, we all used to be in HxC bands, hence the name of the tour. The dates are now up in the gigs section, and I'll be posting ticket links as and when I get them.

On the tour we're going to be selling a CD of acoustic hardcore punk covers, two songs by each person on the tour. I'm doing Bad Brains and Black Flag. It won't be available anywhere else, so come get em while they're hot.

Played at 2000 Trees festival last night and it was fucking great. Long may they continue to do what they do. And it was a top way to start my festival season properly. To the next ones!
