Chips and dips my toe tapping chums, ive spent the last few days juggling things in my cap of contemplation and have come to the conclusion that life really does chuck some proper random situations at us all and unless we're switched on 110 % it will creep up liberating yer mind and rationality....however, their is an upside as it does put things into perspective, drives those in the gallows / firing line to make harsh and needed choices ultimately leading to a reshuffling of commitments in both love, work, life and ambition to a chase that dream of a long and happy existence. There are many choices we can be faced with in this life and when tredding the decision making process their is a need for release, a step back so to speak and you may find an ever growing desire to turn speakers up to 11, concoct more obscurities, go with the flow and want to take more control. Do we focus on the trivial? what trually is important? What can every person on the face of this earth do to improve? Do we all need to improve? Is this it? How far can we go? Do we really know the way? Can we find peace in what we already have and can we find the strength to let it go?
Just some deep thoughts their, on a lighter note the gig on saturday in Gosforth civic hall went down an ale and cider powered storm. Faced with 16 types of ale, 8 types of cider a little taste of valhala was bestowed upon us and after having not gigged for a while the euphoria was rife amongst us and the crowd where we witnessed some (very high) knee to the sky action. Again tony, ye are a legend man, always a pleasure, never a chore.

Catch the rest o' ye in edinburgh on the 27th.

yo ho ho and a bottle of jimmy's old eyebrow tweeker. Thursday again and a gig lays before us in the fine town of newcastle, kebabs, beers, full blown frollics and debauchery shall be afoot, an arm, couple of fingers and maybee a leg or two. This gigs been sorely needed by yours trually as due to a lack of (constructive) madness ive found the cheese has begun to in all honesty "slide of my cracker" so im kinda fired.

On a totally random note i heard a story today about some guy who was arrested in edinburgh for 'cracking one off' at his window and get this.....his surname was cumming! You really cant make that stuff up man. Nice to see the world/fate has a sense of humour eh?

Right im off, its getting hard to write this while walking in the dark (seriously):

Top Tuesday tongue flappings to ye all out there, been a while since weve updated this interweb contraption so here i am with a wee update following last weeks show-downs in glasgow and newcastle.
First off was pivo pivo in Glasgow playing alongside ol' ska demons 'Esperanza' sweet as night likes so big ups tae Gary for booking the bands and also big ups tae their fruit machine that paid me a nice wee earner tae! Really cool bar, friendly staff and foods pretty tasty, cannae wait to get back actually.

Newcastle to be honest was a bit on the quiet side but that never stops the hand goin as nuts as possible and cracking it tae 11 on the ska-ometer. Seemed like a group of old school skankers so it was good tae see the heads bopping and bods shuffling in appreciation tae our off beat rhythmical wonder machine. On top o' all this its always good to be playing gigs for the ska monkey lot, top blokes (and lass).

Plans for the next wee while are minimal as we are taking a weekend or so off tae grow hairy bottoms and learn latin.
happy holidays everyone.


p.s !!!!!!!our new video for let it out is done and looks amazing, keep yer eye's at the ready for the release date!!!!!!!
