we are here to record a record. in fact we are very hard at work recording a record. we are. but america it does seem to go for halloween big. we went with it.
this guy turned up 4am, twenties bathing suit, kevin went for the photo, grabbed him around the waist he super seriously said "don't touch the waist". Kevin asked if the shoulders were okay, he said "shoulders are ok". Cheese. Happy halloween.
Keeping the point green. Back track: Silent Barn, Ridgewood with German Measles and Unnatural Helpers and Happy Birthday. All these bands were amazing, a ton of brutalness, weirdness, weirdos, what the fuck was mischa barton doing there, why the fuck did the police cuff and jail the promoter, who put bacon in the macoroni cheese??????????????????????? Videothing in New York. Legend. Legend. Bill posts us always. Jake no.4
Birthdays in Brooklyn. Brutal brunching. Our first american show Above Auto & Truck Parts, Bushwick, Brooklyn with Hot Box, Soft Circle & No Age for Todd P.
Happy Birthday Big Lion
Fast photos do no full justice to the power of this band or come close to documenting the pure connection. Kids lost it. Unbridled. Letting go. In the best way. An honour to be up close to it last night. Inspiring.
We fly with Alan Bennett (hero) putting on his travel socks in first class. And then we thought Echo and the Bunnymen stole Kevin's bass. They didn't. Virgin did and then they returned it and now New York has us. Greenpoint. Pizza gorge obligatory. There is no slogan more true:
we're coming out this week. for 3 wholesome weeks. we play the following nyc based shows and record our debut long player at futureshock in brooklyn. come say hey!
