malcfest 2011

we're proud to announce that we've been asked to play Malcfest 2011 on the first weekend of september. Malcfest is a proper DIY music and art festival, this year will be the biggest yet, with around 40 bands playing over 4 days somewhere near charing in kent. more details when we have them.

in other news, we'll be getting some t-shirts screen-printed shortly! quite excited about that. they'll cost yer about a fiver we reckon. they'll be available from our shop and at shows when they're done.

kill your **** or **** your ***

why do they call it a cheese grater when it makes cheese smaller?

we had banger of an evening last night, Anorak totally slayed, i don't think anyone has ever seen Ed'kowski with a smile across his face for that long. they liked my cooking too, which besides the show was my my main concern. i find cooking for french people slightly nerve-racking, given their reputation as legendary foodies. the food i've been fed in France and such with Silent Front has always been impeccable.

Nitkowski were obviously brutally awesome too, but you already knew that. lovely lads.

we don't have any shows booked now till july now. we're going to concentrate on getting enough material together for our next album in the interim (though that's not to say that we won't take bookings if they come our way of course!). Tom returns in late july, but before we bid farewell to Chris, we'll be sure to have suitabley rad send-off show. we might even try something with two drummers if we're feeling saucy.

wick.

deja vous all over again

april 30th at zenith bar in angel, londres, catch us with Anorak, all the way from amiens as they close out their european tour. if you like yr botch/converge you'll be down with these lads and no mistake. with the jaw-dropping Nitkowski closing out the night, this one is set to be a bit of a belter.

down with the sickness

claire has come down with some nasty fever so we unfortunately have to pull out of IHTK this evening. bizarrely, the last time they booked us we cancelled at the last minute due to chris getting a swollen drum gland too.

big apologies to wayne and alex at IHTK. i going to buy them a crapload of beers tonite.

ooo-wa-ah-ah-ah!

i hate the kids 08.04.11

o'neil

we have a few london shows in april. last night we played the old blue last with bullet proof vest and great western. both a good laugh and top lads. plus one of the guitarists from great western looked like the young peter pan from hook. bonus! apparently for our first 3 songs my vocals made me sound like i was in a cavernous cathedral made out of iron, but after the sound lad sorted that out it was all pretty rad.

we're really looking forward to i hate the kids and the victory in dalston on [edit] friday. yokozuna and cutthroat convention are firm faves. don't miss 'em! fat bicth are from brighton, i don't know of them personally, but i do know that IHTK wouldn't book anyone less than awesome, so they should be ace.

the nitkowski show at the end of the month should also be beffin. top french lads anorak will be making their debut appearance in london for that'un. the doods are NAILS if you don't know em. i heard they might be playing hellfest this year with the likes of clutch, the melvins, kyuss lives and electric wizard. the bastards.
