Thank you and goodnight

Hi Everyone,

After 5 years as With That Knife, Ed, Mike, Scott, Wes and I have decided to stop playing together as a band.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with our personal relationships, and it is a decision we are sad to have been forced to make.

We have had a fantastic time in Manchester and met some amazing, kind, generous and passionate people. Manchester’s music scene is often misunderstood and misrepresented by those beyond our borders, but I consider myself extremely lucky to have been a part of what is a brilliantly diverse and vibrant community.

We are making plans to play one last time, hopefully we can involve as many people as we’ve met along the way as possible.

We will miss you!

Owen

Sheesh

Well, it’s been a while eh? Sorry for the lack of 010101011100100100011 but we’ve been super busy all round.

So super busy intact that we’ve recorded some new moosik, and are part of the way through a mind boggling video to accompany at least one of the new songs. Huzzah.

I can’t confirm any dates just yet but i reckon it’s just around the corner so stay tooned for info’s.

As ever is the busyness of the world, keep an eye out here for random musings and inter band nonsense: in no particular order (or mike would kill me)

Captain Planet style full band

Have a fun time!

2011? Oh god!

By Wes | Published: January 3, 2011

Jeez, 2011 already? what does it mean? you’re nowhere near where you want to be? or nothing probably, other than stop wasting time and get on with something creative ok? good, go and do that.

I suppose that’s half why this site hasn’t been updated, but fear no more, i have a fixed computer and know how to use most of it’s features. £ # w W . = – see.

So how have you all been? i’ve been very busy, too busy infact, so busy my computer broke under the strains of neglect.

Some things:

There’s a live recording of us available right here

the super eared amongst you will realise this was one of the ‘limited edition’ performances without me so enjoy whilst it lasts, because…………..

This friday night (7th Jan TWOTHOUSANDANDELEVEN!!) we’re playing at Fuel in Withington as part of the coolest dudes outside of our band http://www.manchesterscenewipe.co.uk/ ‘s first ever night!

It’s gonna blow your balls sideways, along with us are the awesome Patterns (formerly Elmo Logic for the MCRSCENEGEEKS out there) and hopefully awesome Beat the Radar (i don’t know of these guys so hopefully is all i have! i’m sure they’re great if Toby and Sam have made them the chosen ones

There’s links to these guys somewhere – this free *Virgin trains WiFi is letting me down

*shameless plug = give me free tickets please!

Amongst other news, we have a single coming out in the very near future – which will be celebrated with some kind of launch (finally!)

It’s sounding real gooood thanks to the ears of THIS MAN, and will come with a couple of other hits to get you pumped/chill you out. stay tuned or watch 30Rock, either decision will serve you well.

The final words are dedicated to the best albums of 2010 so here goes:

Wes – Zach Hill – Face Tat – i’ve agonised over this, mainly because the Native album came out last year so i can’t really slam it in here, go buy both of them – you won’t be dissapointed. This man agrees! Also buy THIS (it’s like the word POW! a thousand times) It’s like i’m some kind of economy pusher.

Owen – Everything Everything – Man Alive – A lovely bunch of boys who deserve to do great things (they also know a great place to eat curry)

Scott – Caribou – Swim – Our bass shaker plumped for this big one, good man, solid choice from a solid man (don’t fight him, seriously)

Ed – Konono No 1 – Assume Crash Position – Ed throwing a slight curveball as ever. *Band Trivia* What country will Ed visit this year?

Mike – ____ by _ _____ That’s right the Hawk didn’t respond to the text, this’ll have to be a TBC – but i’ll guess Ke$ha.

All that’s left to say is that we’re also on this nice and shiny DIGITAL MAGAZINE that’s out today – check it out! It seems like it is 2011 after all!

CLICK FOR THE SHINY FUTURE

Quick Fiyah!

By Wes | Published: September 15, 2010

Busy times here so i must be brief.

First up after a wee while away from crowded areas we return to play THIS SUPER NIGHT (Click events – then 6th Oct! link issues) which is part of the Free For Arts Festival – a lovely bunch of coconut flavoured folks.

Then a mere 2 weeks or so later we PLAY THIS! at Night n Day with Yves and one of the best named bands (?) ever Larry Lupton

Come one come all! We’ll play some new stuff ! What’s not to like?

Finally, we’re a good way through the recording of a new EP and i can confirm that your fears are correct, it’s big, very big. I promise to hurry up, whilst giving it the tender touch that’s needed, srsly.

Extra finally, i just found out that Scott kicked himself in the balls. An unneccesary update, but these things should be aired. Better out than in!

Kbye!

Sacky Hacked

By Wes | Published: August 23, 2010

So yeah some sneaky sonofabeach decided we we’re worthy enough of being hacked. It’s kind of flattering to be honest, like someone groping you on first meeting or something. Flattering but weird.

BUT it’s still out of order yeah, so don’t do it again internetter.

I hope you didn’t get any nastyness on your computer, what a terrible introduction to us, at least it’s a memorable visit.

I’ve had an inside man at Google look at it and we got all cleared up with just a small amount of cream, it does mean however that we don’t come up on Bing, but who want’s a search engine that gives you less information? SRSLY? WTF?

So after my poor attempt at an apology i’d best tell you what we’ve been up to eh.

We started putting together the initial pieces for a new EP that we shall be releasing in the near future, hurrah!

Drums and bass are locked together like batter on a mars bar. Great. More to follow in the next few weeks, then the ‘rapid’ mixing process, sarcasm alert.

But seriously it’ll be out in time for you students to spend some of your loans on, we may even throw in a free book on self help or something equally needless.

Other WTK news? Oh ok……

Owen decided that his haircut was worthy of the north and will be a permanent fixture for the forseeable future, Mike is currently hanging out in Williamsburg like the hipster he is (he’s not), Ed keeps hanging out with members of the excellent Everything Everything, and I got Scott extremely drunk, soz mate.

That’s all i can think of just now, speak soon!

Wes
