Sorry for slow updates, big website redesign on its way. What you need to know for now is that the album is finished, the artwork is nearly finished, the video is nearly finished, the tour is nearly booked. The first single will be Vital Signs. This is going to be available for download on Christmas Day. More info on where and when and how to get this (plus another B-side as well, incidentally) can be found here. More news soon.

Unfortunately, the End Of Days festival in October has been cancelled. So no show there then. In other news, the Europe diary is now finished. I've also been plugging the gaps on the Automatic tour with my own shows, so check them out in the gigs section. Also, I'm going to be playing the last ever Lamacq Live Session on September 18th, tune in to Radio One for that. And I've finished recording the album, mixing is underway, huzzah.
15.08.06
This October, I'm going to be hitting the road with my new friends The Automatic around the UK. The dates are up in the gigs section of the site. See you there.
12.08.06
I'm about to head into the studio next week. The Barfly show was ace. Anyone who was there and wants to be credited please email your names to me here with an appropriate subject line. Also, part one of my European diary is now up. Enjoy. The rest will follow soon.
17.07.06
More details of the Barfly show can now be found here. The full French diary is now up online as well. I'm off to Eastern Europe pretty soon, so expect another tale of debaunchery when I get back in August.
07.07.06
My diary of my French tour is now up online through the good people at Room Thirteen. You can find part one here. More to follow. Enjoy. Also, tickets for the Barfly show are going fast, so if you're planning on coming down I'd advise buying some now.
04.07.06
Back on the road again. Some info about the show at the London Barfly on August 8th. I'm going to be recording an album version of "The Ballad Of Me And My Friends" at this show, so if you want to be on the record, listen to the song on my Myspace page, learn the words, and come down.

The EP sold really well, thanks people. Next up, release-wise, we have my split with Jonah, which can now be preordered (coloured vinyl and all!) from the Welcome Home Records website. Go buy! I've also been confirmed for Latitude Festival in Suffolk this summer, which means I'm on the same bill as the Lemonheads. Life is sweet.
14.05.06
Currently in Paris. To coincide with the release of the EP tomorrow, the good folks at Xtra Mile are releasing a free downloadable acoustic version of "Worse Things Happen At Sea". You can get it here. Enjoy.
09.05.06
Well, back from a big UK tour, thanks to Gabby Young and the Collective. A few things... Campfire Punkrock is on schedule for release in the UK on May 15th, a.k.a. Monday, so get preordering. Dates in Europe are fast approaching. I also have two radio sessions to mention - tomorrow (10th May) I'll be on Steve Lamacq's show on BBC 6 Music at 5.30pm, playing live and being interviewed. Then on 11th May I'll be on John Kennedy's show on XFM from 11.10pm. Tune in.
06.04.06
A few things... The April 14th show in Reading is now not happening due to reasons beyond my control. Secondly, work continues apace on my planned split release with Jonah Matranga - it'll feature two covers by the both of us, and is due for release over here in June. The Cardiff show on April 27th has been moved to Clwb Ifor Bach to join the Brigade / Fighting With Wire tour, in order to prevent a clash, and to let me hurl abuse at FWW more easily. And finally, for those who care, the forums have been locked down due to a surfeit of idiocy. I'll open them in a few days when people have calmed down.
20.03.06
I've contributed a track to the latest edition of Public Service Broadcast - brought to you by the nice folks at Smalltown America records. It's a new recording of 'Sunshine State', with a bit more instrumentation. The run is 250, and you can find out all about it here. It's due out April 17th.
13.03.06
Some new lyrics up in the words section of the site, and also a new FAQ section for those wanting to get in touch. I'll be adding to it as the silly questions keep rolling in.
09.03.06
The Radio was fun. I will be releasing a CDEP through Xtra Mile Recordings Limited in early May. Make sure you hassle your local store into getting some in. This also means that at the end of March I will no longer be selling my demo, so if you want one, get it now. Thanks.
06.03.06
I'm going to be playing live on Radio One tomorrow night for Mike Davies' Lockup at around 9pm. I'll be playing the usual fare, including a few covers and a new tune. Listen out!
17.02.06
A small announcement, namely the first half of the dates of the 'Free Blind Moles' UK Tour, which I'm doing with the wonderful Gabby Young. You'll find them on the gigs page. There's more to come, so watch this space.
15.02.06
Not entirely sure where this rumour originated, but some people seem to think I'm playing in Swindon tomorrow night. To clarify: I'm not, and never was. Sorry. In other news though, I now have a tentative release adte for an CDEP: May 22nd is in the diary.
09.02.06
Good news and bad news. The good news is that there was a lovely little review in this week's Kerrang, thanks Ruth. The bad news is that, for reasons which escape me, the Cardiff show for Feb 16th has been cancelled. Many apologies, I'll do my best to reschedule this one as soon as possible.
29.01.06
My Latvia diary is finally finished, and it can be found here. Enjoy. Had fun in Scotland, and remember, the Reuben split is out tomorrow. Take it easy.
17.01.06
I am back from Latvia and still alive, which is nice. There will shortly be a blog with many photos up on the site. In other news, the latest Rocksound magazine has a 3-way feature with me, Dave House and Getcapewearcapefly. I swear a lot; my mother was not impressed.
06.12.05
The Worcester show on December 12th has been cancelled for some reason. Many apologies. I'm not happy either.
03.12.05
There's a poll on the Rocksound website at the moment. I feature in it. Go vote for me. Now!
30.11.05
The mailing list is here. This is pretty self-explanatory really, but just for the slow ones, put your name in here if you want to get emailed by me about my shit. If you want to unsubscribe... work it out.
Next month's Rocksound magazine will feature a previously unreleased song of mine, namely 'Nashville Tennessee'. It's out in early December sometime I'm told. Go get yourself a copy. Also, there's a competition on the Xtra Mile website to do with the split 7"s they're putting out in January. Take a look.
22.11.05
Apart from all the gigs that I have coming up, the important news for now is that a song of mine, 'The Real Damage', is due to be one side of a split 7" with my good friends Reuben. This is going to be released on January 30th 2006 and as such will constitute my first proper, in-the-shops release. So go buy! More information on all this kind of thing can be found at the Xtra Mile website. That' because, fact fans, they are the folks putting out this release. Go have a look.
