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 !

Wes + WTK x

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

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.

Here’s a poster related to this celebration:

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

So ace i decided to add a poster:

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.

Wes + Biff Tannen!

Thanks to everyone who came to our recent shows and to everyone who has bought our single. Big Lurrrve.

Heres some links and things, i’ll use a humerous(?) phrase for each one:

To buy the single:

I once fell asleep on Ted Danson’s roof

This is untoward, this is not toward!

Stop licking my hand

Reviews:

Monkey vs Broom

Of all the times to eat a banana….

That’s what it said on ‘Ask Jeeves’

If you’re not convinced by all of the above, perhaps this photo will sway you?

Yeah, that’s how we roll.

Check you laters.

Right enough of that:

!WERE PUTTING OUT OUR FIRST EVER SINGLE AND WE COULDN’T BE MORE EXCITED!

That’s right Tuesday 2nd March 2010 ‘This Place, a Thousand Times’ will be thrust (!) upon you on all good digital outlets and also through our MUSIC link on here! I’m not gonna lie – buy it from here cos we get more dollars to buy our Maps & Atlases gear or something like that (olives probably).

You can hear this fine specimen if you click on Myspace – that’s right a new tab up top!

Alternatively if you’re livin’ on the edge you can check it out here at SOUNDCLOUD

Here’s some artwork that we grafted together for it, it’s basically loads of stuff yeah?

Ok so we’re playing tomorrow night in Sunny Blackpool at the Blue Room! This gig has been constructed with the least words in an email correspondence ever, i’m surprised we’re even gonna drive up the ‘55. BUT it will be mega i’m 100% confident, plus we’re being supported by this talented young scamp. So come along, i doubt it will cost you more than a stick of rock.

We’re also playing in Bolton on saturday supporting THE BROKEN DOOR who are releasing their debut album – they really are a band to be seen live! So come along – HERE IS MORE INFO’Z.

After that we’re supporting our superb Canadian friends DD/MM/YYYY at the Ruby Lounge in Manchester! Hit us up for the cheap list and we’ll save you some green. Holla!

Hectic thymes! Come and join our fun!

Ok BYE (our single on the 2nd March!)
