Rush And A Push And The Land Is Ours

It's Saturday 23rd of Feb.

Frank and Chris are back from The Rocket Summer tour. I went and saw them in Manchester and it was a good night. I went to a club after and got kicked out because I took a drink outside. They said we couldn't return for at least 6 months. Good.

We've been writing lots recently, we're not far off finishing the album now. We're all very proud of it, and it feels right. There is a special feeling about it, like we're sitting on something big. We'll just have to see what happens when everyone hears it!

We're recording the drums and bass at British Grove studios which we're extremely excited about. It's the same studio The Beatles recorded the Sgt. Pepper album, which completely blows our mind. The guitars/vocals etc we're doing between Outhouse Studios and our friend Josh (who recorded the EP.)

So a few days ago Chris announced that after the album is recorded he will no longer be playing with us. He's going back to university in Huddersfield. We're all gutted about this decision, but as a friend and a human being, we support him all the way. He'll still be part of Kill The Arcade whatever he does.

So that's about it really! We go on tour next week with Canterbury and Jaimison which I'm very excited about, as I love both bands. Come see us if we're playing near you! We're playing two new album songs, and we'll have new merch for sale (which includes our homage to The Smiths t-shirt)

Keep well, and get mad!

Canterbury inspired me to start this blog.

I'm currently laying on my bed, watching Eastenders and thinking about packing my suitcase. 

I go on the Kerrang! Tour with Chris N for two weeks as from tomorrow, helping out with all his Atticus stuff so that should be good. If any of you are at any of the dates, come to the Atticus stand and say hello!

Frank is away pretty much exactly the same time as I am with The Secret Handshake, as he is playing drums for Luis on the whole tour. Chris is going too; I think he is driving and doing merch. We're meeting up in Manchester after their show as we have a day off, so that should be a fruitful rendez-vous.

We're still writing for the album, and we're over half way in. It's the best music we've ever written by far. So we're extremely excited and impatient about getting it out. It doesn't have a title yet, but we'll keep you informed. Recording commences April 1st through to May 1st.

As far as touring is concerned, I'm itching to play again. It feels like I haven't played for about 67 years but its been about a month. We're touring from Feb 28th - March 10th all around the UK with Canterbury and Jaimison. Two very brilliant bands. (We'll put the dates up on our page in the next couple of days. ) Listen to them here...www.myspace.com/canterbury & www.myspace.com/jaimisonband .

I think that pretty much sums it up for now, oh actually we have new merch. We'll put it up for sale very soon. Everything else is now sold out! We did put in another order for the monster shirts as well, as they seem to be the most popular!

Right everyone, I need to check my tumble drier to make sure my clothes haven't shrunk to Action Man size.
