  • Our van hates us!!!

    So we played Newquay....which was out of session so it wasn't very busy and the sound engineer decided to dissapear!!! So thanks to Josh (Fandangle guitar tech) for helping us out. The mics kept cutting out too so all in all Newquay wasn't great!
    We Plymouth the next night at the White Rabbit, sound on stage was really cool but we got our set cut short due to a drum and bass night happening after us! We plan to go back there as the guys running it were still really cool. We headed to somewhere in the middle of fucking nowhere to sleep in the hall way of some halls of residence....Robs camp bed got broke so he wasn't too happy!!! I'm not laying the blame on anyone...me and Andy were just sitting on it (with Rob, might I add). Loads of beer later and we all woke in the morning to a tattoo'd Santa Claus looking dude who wasn't happy, I think he was called TJ (Hooker) ha ha.

    We've got a day off today as Swindon was cancelled...sorry Swindon.
    On the way back home at about 2am this morning our van decided that having head lights, break lights or any fucking lights or heating wasn't happening and switched them all off!!!! So we drove from the back ass of Manchester to Huddersfield with no lights.....aaaggghhhh!!!! Don't worry the van will be fixed and we will be at the show in Burton-on-Trent tomorrow.

    If anyone has photos/videos/comments or Mikes underwear please lets us know

    Until next time......x
  • UK tour

    Hey,

    We are finally away this time and not heading home every other day.

    The first couple of weeks were a bit all over the place but really cool at the same time. The last few shows have been amazing. Huddersfield (hometown show) was packed and the entire room went off!!! Mike got the crowd seperated for a elbows out WALL OF DEATH. We also introduced Fandangle to Hippie Crack! Everyone woke with one badass headache! ha ha ha

    Civic Hall, Whitehaven, Cumbria:

    This show was the biggest on the tour so far. Over 600 hundered people in a huge hall. The stage was really big and we got a pretty good sound. The rider was a bit light but you know.....you get over it and source food elsewhere!!! We all went to a rock bar round the corner from the venue after and got really pissed! Some ended up sleeping the van, some in Fandangles bus and a few of us went back to someones house who we met in the bar....the next day was very hazey to say the least. Rob was still very drunk that morning and after wondering round trying to find our van the next morning....we found it in a different car park and decided to have a food fight and cover the van in volovaunts and the car park in tropicana and food!

    Last night we played in Bridgwater with 'Cameron' from Hollyoaks....Nuff said! lol

    Chepstow tonight and we're getting some booze.....stories to follow x
