As December grows closer...
….And the nights are drawing in like well worn strings, we thought we’d give you a little reminder of things on our general horizon: WORRY EP This cared-for collection of songs gets released on the 12th December and you can order it from here. It’s recently been added to the 6 Music and MTV playlists so hopefully you’ve managed to hear it round and about. If not then the video is...
lyrics for his thunderrrrr.
I’m a mat and I still retain
Accumulated stories of the tawdry years
I’ve been stamped out by rum-fuelled boots
The brute, us hiding under stairs.
Waiting for his thunder to hit
Waiting for his thunder and thinking is this it?
Waiting for his thunder to shout
Waiting for his thunder to tire itself out.
So I lie flat, in sheets worn thin
By his sublimations that reside...

a tour in APRIL
Any greetings like?
Just to say firstly, thanks to everyone who came to see us over the last week. The four gigs were absolutely brilliant and despite the occasional argument about which service station to stop at we had an amazing time…
So much so that we’ve decided to announce another tour in APRIL 2012… it’ll be around about the same time as the new album, so...
NEWCASTLE gig in snowy DECEMBER
Hello everybody, We haven’t been home much this year and feel like we have especially neglected our fellow north easterners recently. Split Festival was brilliant but only reminded us of how special our last gig at NORTHUMBRIA UNI (we actually felt like a proper band, it had lights and everything). So to finish off our headline dates for 2011, we’ve decided to play another gig in our...

LOVELY BAGS OF THINGS TO SHARE
So I sink into my ercol, and greet you from the tumbling stirrups of this well worn seat…
Anyway: what’s going on with us? Well: we are busy touching the finishes to our new EP which hasn’t got a title yet (but the rejected pile includes - Smell the Glove, and What My Life Would Have Been Like if I Was Christian Bale).
In the meantime we are doing the following live gigs:

worry lyrics.....
i’ve been singing gibberish live for the last few months but now the lyrics are finalised so i thought i’d share them with you…
her silhouette
is bleaker than a cigarette
on a tuesday morn
when i feel humanity slip
from broken hands down to her hips
realising
lethargy in both her eyes
and as the sun emancipates the dawn
her tanlines cackle with the power of

getting into retail
AM/PM CHECK IT, That is the new Hoxton greeting apparently. People there are like totally banal about time, redefine it, make it work for you. Anytime is treat time, yah? Anyway, whilst Mickey has been plugged into a computer making drum sounds the rest of us decided to found a shop. Me and Matt have also wanted to open a sandwich shop so we took the first step by opening an online one here…....
OUR SUMMER FULL OF PLANS
“Any Plans Like?” said Adam Cameron, and so it stuck.
We’ve actually got plenty of plans for the summer and so we thought we should share them with you. We’re currently in our sturdy van on the way to Stranraer to catch a ferry to BELFAST (our second favourite city) and before a truckers breakfast this message is getting furiously typed.
The first plan is to finish the...

Tour with GOMEZ!!!
Hello penguins
After our recent gig alterations we’ve recovered sufficiently to be able to say that the mighty Gomez (one of Matt’s favourite bands) have kindly let us play with them on their June tour!

09.06 BOURNEMOUTH academy
10.06 BRISTOL academy
11.06 LEEDS met uni
12.06 Day off for pies and rest
13.06 Another day...
and then there were THREE little comets....
Hello everybody, Despite having a remarkably good weekend at Camden Crawl, we woke up on Monday morning to a really bad ringing in our ears….
Due a combination of factors, Mark has decided to leave the band for a life of gainful employment. He has worked really hard over the last few years and is a tremendous performer both on and off stage, so we wish him well as he scoots off towards...

ADVENT CALENDAR DAY 22: 2010 Diary July - December
July:
Lots of festivals punctuated July including a trip to lovely Wickerman in Scotland. Despite being accosted by policeman on the hunt for bands-on-drugs we had a relaxing day in the mild sunshine, and wound our way home happily eating muffins and dreaming of picnics. However, our month was to be defined by one event only – involving a forest, a passport and a potent mixture of delight and...

2010 Diary: January to June
From beginning to end it has been a tumultuous year, springing from positive to negative with much regularity. Hopefully the following will give you a little more insight into our processes, experiences and tribulations over the last twelve months…
JANUARY:
With Winter’s elastic fingers snapping excitedly, the snow blanketed much of January before one phonecall...
our most special present yet, day six warms me
Antlers and Deviants,
As the solstice is approaching like a deadening torch battery, we thought we’d say HERE IS OUR MOST SPECIAL PRESENT YET….
After nearly being sick in the Metrocentre on Saturday (Marx/Engels big up yourselves) we devised this plan:
1. We’ll make only 50 numbered CDs and uniqueify the artwork for each of them (this has taken me ages……).
2. The...

because you might invite someone to your house and share biscuits, we thought we should do a similar thing behind today’s advent calendar windoor… so here are lovely audio gems which have changed and augmented our sad and happy lives during the last months… click the links to get transported!

this song has lovely geographical placey lyrics and the...
