It’s some kind of tour of sorts it seems. is it, hmmm….anyway there may be a couple more in the works so don’t fret if you cannae get down to these fine venues. I’ll post some links to these super cool events on other places you may reside…..come along! it’ll be big amounts of fun.
We’re back on the recording this weekend so we should be about 40% through come sunday evening, hot-stuff.
Hey it’s Scott’s birthday this saturday, so enjoy a cold beverage of your choice whilst rejoicing the impact on your life he has had, i know i will be.
Ok;
Owen built a box (it’s more exciting than it sounds), Mike pulled out insane late plans, Ed brought a wizard to town, Scott stunned everyone with an unannounced arrival, and i was happy to hear of a band investment and celebrated by spending more money on the Gadget Show competition, professional/amateur help sought.
Tally ho!

Sound in Drowned?
“A mixtape or mixed tape is a compilation of songs recorded in a specific order, traditionally onto a compact audio cassette“
Essayist Geoffrey O’Brien has called the personal mixtape “the most widely practiced American art form”
That’s right we’ve made it on to a mix tape! Boo ya!
And as it’s 2009 it’s not a mix tape on ‘the block’. It’s here on the ‘Virtual Block’ Thanks guyzzz. The chosen summer jam is the classic radio smash Tonight we’ll find out.
Speaking of radio smashes we’re recording our self confessed ‘radio smash’ at the moment so keep em peeled for updates as they are coming along nicely.
erm yeah, some gigs shall be confirmed in the next couple of weeks so i’ll do some kind of hyper excited post about that in the coming days, y’know, they’re gonna be good ones too. gooood ones.
Things:
Owen and I went to Barcelona and came back with a tan worse than Mike’s, however i am in the running for the Sun’s ‘Have a go Hero 2009′ (enquire for more details). Scott is somewhere getting a tan better than us combined, and Ed worked on his already bronzed ab’s in Salford. I think most of this is true.
Thanks DiS
Catch you on the flippy flop.

who the what now?
OkOk. Its not long till we’re back playing in real life for real people again….lucky you’z.
The 10th September to be precise. Tickets are steadily shifting so if you want one drop us a line at withthatknife@googlemail.com and they’re yours for 5 bones.
what else……..we’re off into the studio this weekend (happy bank holiday!) to record a stream of classic hits and some trendy new ones! stay tuned.
There may be some super awesome hyper special news about us and one of our favourite bands coming up…..but i won’t drop the news till i see it in print. mega cool to say the least – all i’ll say is it involves one of us and a saxamaphone.
Anyone remember AC Slater? yeah of course you do, anyway he’s a presenter on some weird show on freeview ‘America’s best dance crew’ – amazing, the guy hasn’t aged a day! i suggest you check it out for a laugh if you have a moment of boredom, like i did.
Here’s one of AC’s finer moments: check the fills on him
boi boi now

OMGLOLBURGERS
that’s right it’s an OMG moment. not really, but why not eh.
the OMG moment i’m talking of is the Ruby Lounge gig with the super cool ‘We Have Band’ – also added to the bill are the electro cool May 68.
We’re on early (for once!) at around half 8 or 8:30 and will hit you with our “pugil stick of sound” – P.Spector 2009.
For this we require to sell some tickets, so drop us a line at withthatknife@googlemail.com and for £5 (it’s £8 normally!) we’ll give you a ticket to a top night. plus if you not only like us but like these other bands, then it’s probably the only time you’re gonna be able to see We Have Band for £5 as they are off to play some swanky venues very shortly i’m sure.
Ok there shall be some more gig announcements very shortly and possibly a radio appearance ! how about that?
Bi Bye

-/+ featuring Mega Stress
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.
From an ever (slightly) calming Wes
