WELL NOW THEN

1 July 2009, 20:08

What a lovely year.
How are you?
We’re coming to America again in a week. This is a good thing. London is full of children with ice cream cones and flies and ice cream cones full of flies.
We’re going to play the best shows we’ve ever played and if we don’t you can have sex with a band member of your choice for free. Before you make your decision keep in mind our new temporary drummer is a FOX.
WHAT IS GOING ON?
Well, many things. Singer/songwriter Finn Andrews is singing and songwriting at an alarming rate. That’s me by the way. Cheese. I’ve been listening to The Bats and getting excited about how Connan Mockasin and James Duncan’s albums are coming out soon. Warm my winter they shall.
We’re now mere weeks away from announcing a tour of New Zealand & Australia for later in the year. This is something unfathomable at this point as we’ve 3,794,066 square miles of continent to scour before then, but fathom it we shall, with your help.
Anyway. See you soon. Come say hi.

  1. Hello from the US!
    What a lovely Independence day!
    The one time and place that ‘blowing things up’ seems like a good idea to everyone involved!
    I had a birthday last week to boot!
    I like to think of all those things going, “KABOOM”, as a peculiar little present to me!
    What a nice gift, detonation!
    I think all women like to feel the Earth to move for them!

    Glad you are making it across the water! We would love to see you all, do your magic, in person! Ah, tis yet another gift from the universe, (and much sweeter for my ears to dream to)!

    See you all in San Francisco! ***************************
    As to your offer above, I bet the shows will be brilliant, if not, well then, I fully intend to hold one of you to that offer. I’m not a tart, but for you all, damnit, I’ll learn!

    I noted the, “free”, part in, “you can have sex with a band member of your choice for free”. So, about that last bit, does it otherwise cost? And if so, how much does a basic tickle fight, (ideally wearing purple, faux-fur long johns and onsies), cost?
    What’s the going rate for a good water fight? BYOB
    (I gave away my super-soaker water guns to some very nice odd young men on the street, who had some aquatic issues to work out…and so they did! I think they still are!)

    Tickling and water fights are highly underrated! If they are available, I call “DIBS
    (Not that there is anything wrong with sex, especially great sex! But the former two, can be done ‘completely dressed’, ‘in public’, with your ‘parents’ and or ‘strangers watching’, and the ‘dog fully involved’, and all as you go sliding about the hallways, potentially even loaded to the gills, and everyone still has a marvelous time!
    However, the same cannot be said of sex.)

    So, I’m just covering all the bases!
    Be warned, San Francisco can be a bit windy for outdoor water fights, if one breaks out…I’ve usually recommended starting them indoors, but I’ll deny it was my idea if security comes!

    I think your shows will be wonderful and well met by all!
    I intend to show up with some lovely odd folks, all equipped with much appreciation, and a their usual stash of mad giggles, odd hats, peculiar jackets!
    Everyone expects a “most excellent” show!

    Either way, for us fans, it is a “win-win” proposition!
    Though, admittedly, I love a decent water war, the sex would be wicked fun too!

    (Ideally there will be tickling either way)

  3. It’s a shame I can’t get to any of your shows (Even when you’re here in England) But all the same, I hope you all have a good time. :)

  4. Hello from Russia!! Have a great tour :) I hope someday (maybe in something like 20 years =)) you’ll visit our country.. Guys, your music is just perfect.

  5. I have to completely agree with Gareth above, your music has become the soundtrack to my life literally and i cannot even begin to express how perfect and incredible it is. Please come back to england, i am thinking somewhere in the regions of manchester, leeds or newcastle?! Your vinyl’s and cds have, become my most cherished possessions, sad of me i know, so keep up the amazing work. and come home to england!! xxx
