Southsea

So last saturday the time had arrived for our drummer to show what he is made of! could he handle a show with elephants? often plagued by danger and heckling! and with deans bass breaking the day before (thanks marty for helping us out with a bass) and a 7 hour car ride to southsea (it should have taken 2 hours!!) things did not look good.

But it was a total success. Joe did us proud and we smashed it. New songs going down a treat. Although we missed our new label mates UTE we arrived in time to see shoes and socks who played a corker. Needless to say the BSM/Alcopop showcase was the place to be. And we now have a new favourite band called &U&I! (http://www.myspace.com/andyouandimusic)

Oh and an elephants show wouldn't be the same without some drama. There was almost a fight after Pulled Apart by horses! The guy had a very punchable face. I think even his friend wanted to punch him. But although he called Jack-pop "wurzel gummage" (worst insult ever) a fight was avoided and we got back to our hotel in time to watch match of the day!

I think Southsea is my new favourite festival! You should all go next year!

First Show With A New Line-up!

SO yeah as you know we have a new line-up and we're gonna be back with a bang this weekend. Joe is gonna get a real baptism of fire! We're playing the Alcopop/BSM stage at southsea fest.

We're playing along side some of our friends and favourite bands like stagecoach and UTE. But also with the awesome Pulled Apart By Horses. And with new songs under our belt we're fucking excited to be back playing live!

Hope to see lots of friendly faces on Saturday!

I wish that we were still teenagers

Auditions

So as you know a little while ago George left us somewhat in the lurch. We were desperate to get going again but we needed a drummer, so we put the word out. Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, Gumtree, Pornhub etc etc.

After a week or so we had about 15 people get in touch. From those some couldnt commit fully, others said the Wombats were there main influence and others were either too young or old. We ended up with 3 potential new drummers.

The other day we held auditions. I was Simowen Kimmel, Tom was Cheryl Burroles or something and Dean was Deany minogue (thats the best one) and we think we may have found the new drummer. Who we have put through to boot-camp. Fingers crosssed we will be able to unveil our new line up and demos of new songs will start to trickle through.

Will keep you posted.

Stong Arms Cover

Well the summer seems to have left us already and if like us you're being battered by gales and drenched by torrential downpours you may be feeling a bit down in the dumps.

Well our good good friends UTE have done us a cover of our recent smash hit "Strong Arms" and i'm not gonna lie it is beautiful. If this track doesn't make you feel warm and fuzzy inside well frankly you're dead inside.

Oh and whilst you're at it check out there own stuff. www.myspace.com/utetheband

George has left elephants, or so i say. No he has.

If you follow us on twitter or facebook you may have noticed we have been looking for a new drummer This is because George Trevor White has decided to leave the band after almost 2 years.

George felt that he no longer had the passion for the band he once had and could not give the rest of us 100%. So it is with heavy hearts we bid farewell to a great friend and awesome drummer. He has left big shoes to fill (and a massive drum stool) but we wish him all the best with his new band Belingo and hope to play some shows with him soon.

More news on a new drummer coming soon.

See you soon George

Singing Lessons

I thought whilst we're taking a break from the band, it would be a good idea to better myself as a musician and as a singer. So i'm gonna get lessons from this guy..



AWESOME!
