Sacky Hacked

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!

Eggs, Bacon and Francis Bacon

Bangawoyo!

How are things? I hope well, me and Ed went to London and saw the sights and spun some BIG tunes! and saw some ART!

I thought i’d share a few photo’s, all faces have been left out for legal reasons:

Fascism is still alive

We didn’t shop here, total BS

We stayed at a place in London that looked like this, and had the most excellent bacon and scrambled egg! Thanks Laura and co.

I had both of these things in the 80′s!

Dropped £7.50 on the best sauce ever, you have to try it.

Then the Manchester rain brought this gem. Some consolation then. *It’s not Phil Spiderman, he’s a Spider-man!*

All in all, a very good if not highly exhausting weekend, thanks to all who stayed out/ came along to the Purple Turtle!

Speaking of which, here’s the set that we played: TICKLETHETEXT

Right that’s it for now!

There should be an acoustic video of us coming up somewhere soon, i’ll be hammering that around the internets so keep em peeled.

Remember:

Super special secret gig – 7th August

Gig at the Deaf Insitute – 12th August

Gig at The Lexington – 13th August

It’s mainly a reminder for mike – hi mike!

Also if anyone needs the lyrics to Around the World by Daft Punk click HERE

Ciao bella

Boo or Boo-urns?

Anyong!

It’s been a while, i’m extremely sorry about my abscence, but i’ve been enjoying the World Cup.

There has been more going on than just World Cup watching, oh yeah. I’ll list some stuff eh?

We did an acoustic session for this excellent website Manchester Scenewipe on friday- it’s our first adventure into the acoustic realm as WTK and we even used a Glokenspiel ! Take that Rock n Roll.

We’ve finally confirmed our London return at The Lexington in Islington – apparently we’re playing with the awesome Grammatics! More info to follow, but it’s gonna be one party not to miss. Mainly cos Owen’s ever growing hair will be present, and maybe some HD recording devices.

Before this we are playing Sound Control in Manchester on Thursday 15th July with Letters to Fiesta, i’ve never been in there before – well not since it’s not been a shop, gotta be an excuse to check out this new place no? yeah?

ALSO! My bad self (Wes) and Ed shall be DJ’ing our minds out at the Purple Turtle in Camden it’s all in the name of charity too so please come and help a good cause! We promise to only play songs that make you shake. If anyone requests ‘Whip it‘ i’ll definately play it too.

We’re also booked into the studio again to record the hell out of some music that we wrote, August infact, infact (twice?) it’s the same day we’re playing a super secret house party gig! Hit us up if you want to come, it’ll be like an acid haus situation – i’ll ring a phone box and you’d better answer alright?

What else has happened? Mike held a party, i got assaulted repeatedly on a football pitch, Owen decided not to go to bed, and Ed still didn’t clean up the peanuts he spilt in my car. Oh and Scott decided that Stockport is better than Manchester

See you out there! It promises to be fun packed !

Oh and Mike wanted me to post this, so here you go Mike!

Bonnie’s Ranch

Hola! What’s happening peeps?

Thanks for your attendances at our recent gigs it’s much appreciated, especially at Satans Hollow – i could barely move for people and expensive DI boxes! double thanks for your CD purchasing skills, printer permitting there will be a fat stack in my pocket at all times – ooh err.

We’re a bit light on the ground for gigs so that we can write some new tunes so our appearances in the world will be limited for a short time.

Owen stole my old keyboard (amongst other things) and I’ve decided to bring more cables to practice, so you can expect more mumblings from sound tech’s at our gigs (not all of you, some of you really are nice people!x). This is shaping up to be totally cool, and i’m sure you’ll love the new stuff. We’re gonna hit the red button so you can boogie on down in the comfort of your Lay-Z-Boy too, cos that’s what you do nowadays right?

Who likes competitions? We do! I think? we’re in this ‘ere competition to play a Spanish Festival and win a TON of gear – music gear like.

According to Owen:

YOU BASICALLY CLICK THIS

i think you need a myspace, but please click as we love new stuff! especially lots of it, and i’m sure i’d look totally cool draped in a Santander t-shirt and hat combo. You can click once a day so you can kind of ‘rig’ it too. Please click!

Hey did i post this already? This was our playlist from our DJ set at The Corner in Fallowfield, what a great night. Anyway if you’ve got spotify click away and the journey awaits. I’ll post some more playlists, it’s nice to share

CLIIIIIIIIIICK

Cariboooouu! Owen did a remix of the Caribou track ‘Sun’ you can now listen to it by clicking these very words.

Ace. There will be more coming. If you want us to twiddle our nobs all over your music, drop us a line.

Anyone been playing Red Dead Redemption? I have it’s cool.

Does any of this read well? probably not, but that’s how it comes out.

Eat your greens and get out in the sun cos it won’t be round for long.

How is everyone? Good? Gooder than that? Great.

Ok we’ve got loads of gigs confirmed in the coming weeks starting this Saturday in Preston! We’re on pretty early there so be on your toes for some With That Knife Noise!

This is followed promptly by our first ever DJ Set. at Trof in Fallowfield – ace.

So ace i decided to add a poster:

Also Dj’ing are Gold Teeth and Deaf to Van Gogh’s Ear!

So expect some excellent spinning of excellent tunes cos we’re all excellent at that yeah? Mike is the white Carl Cox don’t you know.

This preceded by Youthmovies‘ last ever Manchester show – whilst this is sad it’s also Ed’s birthday!

Ed shares the same birthday as:

Harry Houdini

Former Man Utd ‘keeper Raimond Van der Gauw

and the excellently named Basketballer’s T.J Ford and Chris Bosh!

so if you’re that way inclined come to the deaf institute to celebrate both/one of the above!

Or cry over the split of an excellent establishment.

See you’z all soon! and Thanx for buying our music everyone! xx

Wes + Biff Tannen!
