It’s like clockwork, as dependable as the seasons, or at least more dependable than the English summer weather – Reading and Leeds weekend was a blast. The highlights of the set from Reading are viewable here (UK only, I’m afraid, sorry, blame the BBC). To top it off, later on the Saturday I was asked to guest on a song by some of my heroes – I got up during NOFX‘s secret set on the Lock Up Stage to play guitar on “The Decline”. I could pretty much die happy right now.
I’m actually off on holiday for a couple of days now, but I have a few bits and pieces to mention before I go off radar. First of all, we’re starting to confirm and announce filler headline shows on the Social Distortion tour in the USA in the autumn (fall?). For now I’m happy to mention the following:
- 25th October @ Brillobox, Pittsburgh, PA
- 31st October @ The Fest, Gainesville FL (more details TBC)
- 7th November @ The Camel, Richmond, VA
There will probably be a few more confirmed soon. Watch this space.
Also, talking of US shows, my next jaunt over to that side of the world (next week) sees me in California. The Los Angeles show at the Troubadour is going to be great, tickets are selling fast, and I’m pleased to say that both Andrew Jackson Jihad and Cheap Girls will be on the bill as well.
Right, I’m off to work on my tan. See you soon.

OMG. that’s friggin’ amazing. did they play the whole song!? i heard about that secret show, so that would have been Get Up Kids, Nofx and You, then Bad Religion. That is Fucking Cool.
loved your reading set, and the NOFX set, great srprise to se you run on stage
got your photographer stop me after your set to take a picture of me and my frank turner shirt … also love the new song
Andrew Jackson Jihad! … Los Angeles is just brimming with lucky fucks, isn’t it?
Cross your fingers on me landing my interview today so I can afford two bright and shiny tickets to the Detroit show in October.
I looked away for a moment during the NOFX set, turned back and suddenly there you were and I almost died.
Made the day even more awesome.
Thank you so much for your Reading performance; I can honestly say that it was one of the best gigs I have ever been to.
