Howdy internet, enjoying the extra smattering of snow? Hmmm, i didn’t really notice myself.

Anyway, we’re playing this Bad Boy on 18th Feb at the Bay Horse in Manchester, there should be plenty of sweet music and live art going on. I’ll put the poster up when i get it. Ace.

Sooooo, we’re gonna put out some music for y’all to own here is what i know:

1 – It sounds excellent and at one point goes Da-da-da-da-da, Da-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-dum-da (Owen/Ed)

2 – It’s gonna be LOUD

3 – At least one has a silly name, the other used to have a silly name

4 – There is some artwork on the front of it, and probably the back.

5 – if you buy enough of them we’ll do a nice vinyl release with more cool artwork

6 – Remixes shall be following – woo!

7 – It hates Amanda Holden

Keep em peeled for more info’z.

Finally: now i know you all love a good stalking session, so i did a bit of scouting around and found a book with this in there, enjoy the tips! soz about my poor camera work, i promise to work on this for more stalking pictures.

Oh Charlie it’s nearly New Year…

Happy New Year all! Here’s to a great year filled with left over mince pies and chocolates for a bit….

Click Charlie for my personal (sick) favourite thing of 2009

Thanks to coming to all the gigs everyone, it’s been much fun! And here’s to our music being available to buy (!) in the new decade. ACE.

Soh Excited!

It’s nearly xmas, and with that brings us playing the Ruby Lounge Xmas Partaaay This Saturdaaay

Hit us up for £5 tickets, probably best just to say our name on the door now as we don’t have any left! (i say left – we never got any!)

See you’z there for a xmas ‘cover’ and many a fun filled beer moment no doubt being xmas and all.

Also the first of plenty of gigs to be announced is………………………

March 1st with our canadian chums DD/MM/YYYY this is gonna be a mega show, and we’ll be dropping some new sounds all over your ears that night fo’ real……more to follow

I’ve been doing some mixing of the new tunes with my good friend Rip Torn which has being going very well, however he does pull strange faces, but you’ve gotta love him, he got through most of those vintage books whilst i was busy, think he may have been confused by it all……….he stayed for 2 days and donned a holster with 2 hand guns on day 2…..i got quite nervous…..how could i be with that face though?

See you’z saturrrrday!

Sorry/Yay!

Sorry! about the cancellation last week in Southport, there was some kind of lung issue with the whole night. We’ll be back in the new year to follow this one up.

Thanks to all who came to see us play at ‘Playtime’ in Chorlton on saturday night also, a pretty bizarre experience at times, there will be some photos to follow with this one: featuring fairy lights on mic stands (!) amongst other things – such as people wearing Mike’s clothes….and free sweets!

Yay! for christmas! It’s on its way, and comes with Baileys!……Christmas Parties!……. Christmas party gigs that we are playing!

Click the sick santa for a facebook link for the night! It’s looking like a good one….

Nooze? Recording is all but done now with just minor bits here and there to be added, and is sounding MEGA already, even if Logic decided to give us a massive rage moment due to it’s stupidity. It will be out in a variety of shapes, but more on that when i make it sound good/loud.

Hokay, see you all on the 19th December for scott’s beard/tache’s greatest hour! amongst other xmas delights! Ho Hoe Ho!

Ciao Caio

TimePlay

Hoooo!

Hokay we’re officially doing this gig now! After last time’s stop/start affair here’s the l-down:

We may be in action again on the 19th December but i can’t commit to that being the truth yet so i’ll end this now. But it’s nice being asked to do so many good gigs! fankx

So……we played a new song at Dry Bar t’other night which gained ‘rave’ reviews even in it’s unfinished state, niiiice. It’s LOUD and rather hard to play live as it turns out! This one is being recorded along with a few others which should be ready in time for xmas i’d say, we’ll let you’z know.

I’m calling it ‘No-ones Gay for Moleman‘ i’m not sure everyone is with me, but i’m pushing for it.

Also ‘keep your eyes peeled’ (Ed-wood hates that phrase, sorry Ed) for some interview action over at GODISINTHETV with myself Owen and Ed, fun times with an uncooked burger may or may not be documented.

Back soon.

For now…..

Wheres? – i hate it when people say that word on it’s own, it sounds like Wes, and i’m being super serial.

More on this later…..

Click Westwooooooood. go on…..

See you’z at Dry Bar on FRIDAY!

Hola!

A belated sorry about the Chorlton gig cancellation – it all went wrong with communication! so much for web 2.0 (urgh) communication nonsense.

Anyhoo we have spoken to the promoters and are back on with them on the 28th November! fo’ real this time yo’z!

I think it’s in Chorlton again – but i’ll chickedy check before dropping that bomb. we’ve been promised a poster for this too, lets hope!

Also a reminder that we’re playing with the Super Kewel BLK JKS on Monday (2nd November (november what??!) ) – double brackets that’s right i’m not afraid!

We’re on first which is good ‘cos i don’t have to unplug a lifetime of wires before we go on which is nice, so get on down early. Oh and Trojan Horse are on after us which is always a good show – and Nick will be sporting some super face hair again i’m betting

Orlsow(sic-asfork) If you want to save some ££ to the tune of £3 drop us a line at withthatknife@googlemail.com and we’ll bang you on the £5 guestlist. boom.

Recording is coming along nicely – i’ll be up bright and early for another session tomorrow, and then……….off to 94.4 Salford City Radio for an interview! We will be spinning some of our radio smashes and also a chosen track of our own each (something that has driven Mike to a meltdown) and i quote “Wes, you get to pick any song ever, are you insane? You’ve really fucked me with this, i need to really think about it”

Jeez – i thought it was quite easy, i love the spice girls and will always pick ‘Say You’ll be There’ over any other song ever. It’s that or the Outhere Brothers’ little known b-side ‘Pass the Toilet Paper’. I’ll let the coin decide.

So tune in for some serious fun, and at least to find out what Mike picked! haaaar!

Anyway the real reason i needed to do a post is this:

I had the most stressful moment of my life this morning. It goes like this:

I went to a supermarket who’s name starts with a big S and ends in a little s and i’m at the cigarette bit (cos it’s quicker, or so i thought) and there’s a guy there with a ‘Fistful of Lottery Tickets’

Now if you’ve got a ‘Fistful of Lottery Tickets’ you must have won something right?

NO! This Mother Cruncher was handing the tickets to the checkout lady one by one, and she checked them and said “that’s not a winner”. Is this guy for real i thought? It turns out YES. I must’ve heard 8 or 9 separate rejections in a row, and there we’re like 6 rows of numbers on each ticket.

So i think F%^k this, and went to the normal checkout bit only to find a MASSIVE queue, so i’m forced to go back to the cig counter only to find the guy still there, casually handing each ticket over one by one and i can still hear “that’s not a winner’.

But in the time since i’ve been away theres an old lady in the queue now, and as soon as i take my burning eyes off the back of this clowns head i look down at the lady and what’s in her hand???? A MOTHER CRUNCHING FISTFULL OF LOTTERY TICKETS!!!

Holy hell, so i flash the old lady a classic ‘eye roll’ and she says to me oh you can pay at the customer service counter if you like. In other words -” get back you little f4cker i’m on lottery next”.

My sweet lord was i p1ssed. And i’m getting more p1ssed off as i write this so i’m gonna end it there. mecha urgh.

Catch you tomorrow on t’ radio – i may even drop that bomb live on air so you can hear how stressed out i get and laugh at my impending heart attack.
