there will be a european tour (continental, no UK) beginning october 4. dates TBA.

the new album, QHNNNL, won't, for some reason, be out in europe until aug 25, and sept 8 in the US, but we will have CDs and LPs with us for sale at all the shows above. they make great independence day gifts, for the true patriots in your life.

Gutted.

this is a function of our ability to get away from work for very limited amounts of time, vs. gear rental prices in the UK, vs. ferry costs. we'll come back to the UK asap, and appreciate that anyone there has any interest in seeing us.

Sorry - I should have kept my gutted comment to myself.

I'm looking forward to hearing your qhnnnl.

This thread needs more posts....to catch up to j_harvey's.

since we are a band existing in the 21st century, i could point out that a couple of new songs are on our "fucking" myspace page.

this, despite the fact that no one under 25 has ever heard of us.

Because of this bit:

This thread wins.

Simple, you play in my kitchen - it's pretty large and it backs onto the garden, so people can watch from there when they want a fag. The following morning, I will arrange for an unlicensed Nigerian cabbie to drive you back to the US.

The offer still stands.

Those suits don't come cheap.



Also, THIS.

British coastguards picked up five would-be asylum seekers off the coast near Dover who had paddled from France in an inflatable dinghy.

You have to want these things.

I have made my case - it is irrefutable. See you in October.

Luv,
Zaf

okay, fine.
