Gigs!

I'm not playing! On Friday I went to see IMPERIAL LEISURE, play at the golden fleece in nottingham. There was much fun to be had by all. Den was awesome enough to come watch my band play at the barfly, not that I went to repay the favor, IL are an AWESOME band. There was Cava in my hair. YAY!

Saturday included an evening with SONIC BOOM SIX, who were awesome at Reading Fest, and were even better at Rock city last night. K@ came too, and much fun was had by all. Will be going to see the BOOM again very soon!

STALK

I've been home for a few days, and i guess the shine is wearing off lol. I decided to go on a mission to find all my gig tickets, autographs, and photos. It was a 4 hour battle in the attic with spiders and dust and christmas trees, anyway, eventually i found some of the stuff! So now you can see what i spend most of my time doing when i'm not playing in my own band, i see other bands, and errm ... yeah sci-fi conventions ... don't need to go into that! enjoy!

France / Spain

With crazy problems, we were really happy to know we could do the tour. It started at Camden Barfly, it wasn't the best we've ever played, but it was a great start to the tour.

We set off for france the next day, the shows were good, it was a good suprise to get a bottle of creamy beige at the Mondo Bizzaro.

When we got to paris, the show got cancelled, so we got to go to the louvre, it was awesome, i could have stayed there all day.

While everyone was shopping i noticed that some rockstar had got there before us, and thrown a TV out of a window.

We completely forgot about Halloween, so we had no costumes or make-up, then we got the great idea of using eyeliner to make us look like zomies and lip-stick for bood. The whole night was really fun!

The next morning everyone felt a bit rough, and looking like a zombie in the morning wasn't too fun haha.

There was alot of travelling, from france into spain, the drive to madrid took about 9 hours.

When we were in madrid, finally got to wash some clothes

There's been some really good live pictures from this tour. can't post them all but here's a few.

GERMANY

This tour was very draining.... AND!! there was far too much Cheese and Ham! Our tour manager, was D, she was awesome, and drove crazy long distances.



We played a show in Berlin, and made a quick stop at the berlin wall.

On this tour i discovered this terrible idea for a drink! Cola & beer together in one bottle! Cola Shandy. We had our van broken into, but, they didnt take anything... strange.

We stayed at this strange house, and the bar it belonged to was owned by these crazy old people. They were drinking and dancing around to this really bad music. When fran asked for a large beer, she didn't expect it to be this big! We drank far to much that night, many spillages!




We had a ham fight, which turned into a lets see who can hit joey ramone in the face first. We offended a few people lol.







Then we went to play in switzerland, the day after, we went climbed a moutain. I took so many good pictures, you'd think my camera was good. There were lots of goats, some were pretty funny.

We played a great show when we returned to germany, and after the gig we drank some flaming shots. unfortunately the flames melted the staws so they tasted like plastic.

Then we went to a stange little
town. I don't remeber the gig at all, but there was much oddness, especially with the posters and the scariest shop i have ever seen!
