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!
