ROYAL DALSTON
Oh yeah, wait, before I forget, if you live in East London, or even if you don't - you should come down to The Macbeth to check out the all-dayer that our friend James Burgess is organising. JB sez - "To help raise money for the Red Cross Japan Tsunami appeal we are throwing an ALL DAY PARTY with some of our favorite bands around the uk, Dj's, insane visuals, snacks, booze & good times!"

HAXAN COAT
Hi, how are you? I'm fine thanks. Very well. So, just FYI on Saturday we're playing the last installment of our month-long super gruelling tour of London (4 shows, lofl).
At our previous outing to the Stag's Head, we simultaneously all forgot how to play one of our songs at the same time - the beginning - and wait did I mention they had no electricity in the place? Everything was running off a generator out the back which was actually cool because it was akin to playing in a murky, medieval squat of some sort. Anyway, see you there. Here are the details -

MAGENTA
SAUNA YOUTH / ALE MANIA. "MAGENTA" 7"
A.
1. Ale Mania - Peoline
2. Ale Mania - Escare Cage
AA.
3. SAUNA YOUTH - BACKGROUNDS
4. SAUNA YOUTH - HARSH REALM
This is the second part of Faux Discx's CMYK series of 7"s... These songs are based around the best 3 seconds on Wire's 1976 demo LP. One song directly lifting the riff, expanding and embellishing it whilst singing about going out and having a right laff. The other just taking the section, ill-advisedly looping it's bad quality and sticking a load of Oooh's and Ahhh's and lyrics about going out and being utterly bored. probably. Recorded in our most ridiculous manner to date... Drums from November 2010 (and 1976) from our aborted attempt at out first LP, bass from January 2011, guitars still to be learnt and vocals, samples, etc from last week or something, which is when we all heard it too. Recorded it ourselves & Dan did the art. Black vinyl in a matt, reverse grey-board printed sleeve, limited to 300 copies.
Pre-order the shit out of it here

VELUM RINGS
Hehyeheyeheyehyehyhyhey,
Last weekend we had a great time, thanks to all involved, especially Fair Ohs for having us play. Here i'd probably post some pictures or have a pithy comment (i just looked up what that actually means and it's not what I thought it was at all)... But i don't have any pictures or the mental capacity currently to try and think of anything remotely witty. Anyway, next up in our tour of London we're playing tonight in London at the Everything Sucks club night... it's the basement of a place called Old El Paso near (or on?) Old Street. It's a punk night and they will be playing songs from the likes of -
Lemuria, Descendents, Off With Their Heads, Arteries, Lifetime, Offspring, The Ergs, Screeching Weasel, Jawbreaker, The Bronx, Samiam, North Lincoln, New Found Glory, Avail, Dillinger Four, Green Day, The Copyrights, Operation Ivy, Paint It Black, Dear Landlord, Rocket From The Crypt, Jimmy Eat World, Piebald, Face To Face, Teenage Bottlerocket, Nofx.....
Which is great, it will probably re-ignite our fevered on-going debate over which NoFX album is the best (whatever it is, it's definitely NOT "Ribbed" despite whatever Crispi says). I believe we're on about 10:30pm and the night goes on till 2am. Top Notch.
We're then going to be driving up to Leeds for an all-dayer organised by Dany from Art For Blind records. He's moving to Ireland very soon and is bascially putting on every band in the UK before he goes. It's at the Temple Works in Leeds which is an old Flax Mill located in Holbeck, designed on the Temple Of Horus. Apparently when it was built it was the largest room in the whole world, actually the whole world, and they used to have sheep grazing on the roof. This is the lastest incarnation of the line-up...
