it is so a verb too.

TOURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

yo hello. this is one of those frantic weeks where we drop a lot of information. the most important is contained here - details of this little October road trip we've worked out, but first, here's a brief list of other things that are happening sooner but less relevant RIGHT THIS SECOND. I've been reading douglas copeland all week so am compelled to mess with the linear narrative. yes.

- we need to tell you how prospective americanada tour in november is shaping up

- we need to unveil the immense ebay auction that will hopefully fund said excursion. sidenote - this is what wil wheaton found in his garage. this is what we found in ours:

tempted?

- we need to tell you about our rad new american label and the awesome new songs coming to you via them and alcopop and we also need to record said songs.
-oh wow
- and you've heard this right?

ANYWAY, remember that time we used to not go on about america so much? ahh nostalgia. kidding; here is our comprehensively hyperlink'd UK tour for October. If there's anything we've missed then please send links and posters and we'll add to this. even you whose one bit of promotion seems to be a local press release reading "Birmingham trio return to      Birmingham".

awkward commiserations to those who live in places not near the below, i'm sure we'll be back round for you (apart from portsmouth). or you could always roadtrip?

All shows except Southampton, Birmingham and London are with this band we've been listening to so much our management are putting out their record (nb, it probably didn't happen like that BUT WE SO FOUND THEM FIRST) Playlounge are super fuzzy guitar pop and you can hear just enough of the words to make you think all the songs are about you, now, but they also have that early idlewild chordal sensibilty and them soaring william style chorus hooks and you start mouthing what you think are the words on the tube home after a 15 hour shift and then strangers start looking at you, and the giant paralympics access pass hanging off your belt, and tell their children not to point at you, and you know it's all kinds of wrong but at least they won't ask you to turn it down. uhhh i love this band right now. we can't wait for you to hear hem so we can remind you that we heard them first too.

HERE! All money raised by the sale of these, as mentioned, will take us closer to fulfilling our gig commitments as well as our dreams of returning to Americaland and Canadaland. For which we are so freaking excited, you have no idea.

We also recorded our Vs London III show (and then rerecorded the the cover we messed up): this will be sold as a bundle with the vs London III poster which can be found at the link above but hey for the sake of ease, here it is once more! >> oh hi again!. To those in attendance...Firstly, thank yoouuus. The mp3 of this, as promised, will be sent to you, for free.

VS LONDON PART III

zomg already!


ladybeans and gentle folk of That London, presenting our 3rd of 4 shows of PURE AWESOME upstairs at the Garage.

Saturday 18th August

with Playlounge and Her Parents and more tba, + EXTRAS

playlounge have THE BEST SONGS EVER HEURGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH::::::::::







Her Parents is Chris from Internet Forever, Calum from Dananananaykroyd, Will of Stairs to Korea and Sean from being Alcopop Jacks (soberer) brother and sound exactly like what it would be like to get slapped by pure fun. literally that.


we'll announce one more later, BUT here are 3 more reasons why you need to come:

 - We now have the upstairs room all night! In no way whatsoever is this an over-reaction towards the overly rude bouncers who clear people out of the room at the end whilst WE'RE STILL TALKING TO THEM. well, maybe a bit, but it means you guys can stick around till 2 and we can DJ and OH SHIT WE HAVE A NIGHTCLUB. so, please take advantage else it'll just be us and the bouncers and a terrible silence.

- We're recording the set. well, Dom's recording the set. If we did it, it would just be on iphone voicememo. and after we've had the chance to add crowd noise from Queen Live at Wembley 86, we'll internet it to you with some pictures like some sort of digital postcard of a night you forgot. Only, you won't forget it cos it'll be awesome, and the only place you'll be able to get a recording of the SECRET COVER we're for sure not going to screw up.

- Inflatable Palm Trees!

more details and fancy poster soon!

see you then, then xoxo

(also, DON'T FORGET AMERICANADA!)

Final 12" Info-drop

Ayo

So, the sticker album is all made and the records are being posted out to you this week. Our original plan was to give you all 5 stickers and sell packs off our merch store, BUT thanks to Jack being awesome and us being bad at communication (mostly the former) they'll now come with 20 each. HOW RAD IS THAT.

Obviously, they'll be blindpacked, so you'll still have to hook up with each other to complete the sets. BWA HA HA HA HA. Be sure to tell us how you're all getting on.

I've uploaded Lewes's sticker album and record art to our flickr so everyone else can see what they're missing at get jealous.

Are you one of those people? is it worth us doing another sticker book run so you can join in? do let us know..

cool cool cool. ALSO DONT FORGET AMERICANADA. we've had some awesome and heartwarming responses in the last 24 hours, a super positive start. keep going, plz
