birmingham show details / we are whores

tour excitement! we have been rehearsing hard. we sort of have to cos our heater broke and its the only way to keep warm.

anyway. we are whores.

evidence 1)

we're never going to be one of those bands that cashes in on nostalgia like every other band i loved in the 90s, but we asked about shirt reprinting recently and this was such a winner that we're getting another batch done for tour. We'll put a few on the big cartel store when we get them tho.

evidence b)

The internet (you) asked us to play this song, right. we've never played it before, save for a few hours a few years ago separately recording all the bits. cos it's in the wrong key for our voices AND it has too many guitar parts and, yknow, we've written about 100000 songs since then. blergh.

as long as YOU'RE HAPPY THEN

hopefully by next week we'll have figured out harmonies properly instead of screaming over each other. I updated this post with ticket links and age restrictions of all the shows. how useful.

ANYWAY I DID COME ON HERE to waffle on about our next Birmingham show; in all the hubub we kinda forgot about promoting it up. OOOOPS.

so i made a poster out of lewe's cast offs and 10 mins with ms paint.

*** error, just noticed it says 14+ on the tickets. and it isn't, it's 18+. blergh. Get in touch if by any chance you brought a ticket and are too young to see our adult porno theatre, we'll refund you and recompense you in some other style***

NEXT MONTH IN WORDS::

HAPPY SNOW DAYS.

and, happy belated christmas present. This is from our album sessions, its called small fraud, and kelly hates it. so if you hate it too, just consider it a joke and send it back to us next year. I think our soundcloud has limited downloadings so can some of you kindly stick in on the internet plz.

here is our itinerary for the month of March, including hyperlinks for tickets (buying off)

Most of these shows are with We Are The Physics. If you don't already know how rad they are, GO LISTEN. This isn't a complete list of supports, just the ones that we sorted out cos we're so great yeh*

1st March, Sheffield, The Harley 16+ (with Screaming Maldini and Tip Yr Bartender)

3rd March, Derby, The Victoria Inn 14+ (with We Are The Physics)

7th March, Southampton, UNIT 18+

11th March, Leeds, Brudenell Social Club 14+ (with We Are The Physics)

Also, home and That London, you are not forgotten. Our launch parties went so well we're going to do the same again: many (different) bands, cake and more balloons. Tickets for these go on sale next, we'll shout links around then, but Know These Dates and we'll reveal the London lineup later in the month.

16th March, The Flapper, 18+ (with We Are The Physics, Pandas and People, Sunshine Frisbee Laserbeam)

21 April, The Garage, 14+ (oooooooooooooo just wait)

We wanted to get the london show closer to easter but were too slow. We thought it'd be rad to have a theme. It would be nice, wouldn't it, a theme? TELL US WHAT THEME WE SHOULD HAVE IN THE COMMENT BOXES BELOW PLEASE::

k, more awesome, Alcopop is making a double 12" of Vs Everything. The album will take up 3 sides and the 4th will collect all the the b-sides from the singles and it'll have fancy BIG art and be generally super impressive. You guys won't be able to get it till Aprilish, but Alcopop will be taking preorders from March. And, the first 100 preorders will recieve a totally unique present and an some instructions on what to do with it. This is going to be most grandiose/stupid interactive art thing we've ever done, will tell more soon.

ooo enegmatic.

You vs You vs Everything

hello everyones!

so, we're still pretty dazed from last week; those two shows were pretty amazing life highlights and an awesome launch for our record.

we have a plugger now, (hi oli!) so you may have heard our new single on The Radio like real bands, or on some tv football montage like The Enemy.

Lewes has recovered two faded sketches, of the views from the window and ship from our record cover. We've made a lush a3 double sided poster out of them, and that is this seasons format of choice. They're super limited cos frankly, posters are a bitch to post.

You'll also get a downloady of The Actual Music,

here is tracklist:

1) You Vs Everything (radio edit)

2) PS, Not Soon Enough

3) Johnny Foreigner Vs The Hipster Garden Party

4) If I'm the most famous (robot) boy you've fucked, then honey, yr in (robot) trouble

Cos we're clearly being criticised for not releasing enough songs, track 3 is an entire live set. Well, an 18 minute set. and we're drunk. and it really was a garden party. in france. but, y'know, it should silence the naysayers who think we espouse quality over quantity.

Anyway, you can only buy it from the Alcopop store from Friday onwards, and Banquet Records in Kingston. New Slang, it has been far too long since we played, so, as a little mini celebration, we're playing you on the 8th December. Think of it as a going away party, we can bore you with our tokyo sightseeing plans.

And, seeing as, according to MTV we're the planets no 5 most talked about band [EDIT - is now 3rd and im not looking anymore], we'd like to present some Music Videos like what mtv used to run. its probably best to click thru to youtube to watch them cos of our painfully thin text field.

PS, Not Soon Enough, by Ben Rausch, using footage from our European Obliteration tour last summer.

OKcool, Off to france then. Here's our dates again, SI TU EST FRENCHAIS:

Lille, La Peniche, 24th November

Paris, L'International, 25th November (MAIS OUI , LA DRUM-CAGE!)

L'Orient, Cafe Culturel Mapl, 26th November

Brest, Caberet Vauban, 27th November

and lastly, i'd like to give the cape of Awesome Song Titles back to Andy Falkous. sorry, was just seeing how it looked..

John Foreigner Mixtape Explosion is Number One!

our launch shows are going to be so rad. But! have you bought your significant other a ticket, knowing that he/she doesn't necessarily keep up with those funny little bands you like?

fear not, just download these songs and you can be like, babes, i made you a mixtape. the buy set option just goes to the alcopop store (this isn't really an alcopop release, we just can't let you all rinse our dropbox) so you have to dl each song seperately. don't you dare complain cos this is how i had to buy lifter pullers entire back cat, and this whole saving your relationship act of ours is FREE.

or, yknow, you can just dl it yrself and be alone forever, but with an awesome set of songs courtesy of the bands we're playing with this weekend and strong jack pop...

hey, also, before you hear the exclusive brand new unheard song of ours thats tacked on the end and accuse us of playing nice chords on acoustic guitars, you should know it was made entirely by robots.

the official JFvsE launch shows mixtape by alcopop

the scheeming tactical plot to all of this was to act as a last drive for ticket sales. only london is all souled out now. which leaves BIRMINGHAM THIS SUNDAY AT THE FLAPPER WITH STAGECOACH, SCREAMING MALDINI, CALORIES, ACE BUSHY STRIPTEASE AND THE STARRIES REUNION FOR ONLY EIGHT POUNDS JESUS FUCKING CHRIST BIRMINGHAM HOW ARE THERE STILL TICKETS LEFT FOR THIS I THOUGHT YOU GUYS WERE PAST THE CANT BE BOTHERED TO GO TO GIGS STAGE.

k if that wasn't enough mixtape options for you, go here for a free dlable compilation from all of us thanks to Gold Flake Paint, and here to see what i said after WHA?, when Q asked me for a playlist of "bands that were "probably big in japan"

i am so late for practice now you guys.
