Phew, what an insane 24 hours that was… Yesterday (Thursday), the lovely Mr Jamie Stuart (of Dive Dive) got married. He flatteringly invited us to play and we obliged, including few uncletastic covers in our set (Frank Turner & The Wedding Band, anyone?). Then, as tradition dictates, we got lashed. This morning, having heard the awful news that Truck was cancelled, I made my way to Aldershot and appeared in a video shoot for Reuben’s new single, “Deadly Ninja Assassin”, on which I sung for their album. Then I played a solo show at Westival, before heading to Oxford and playing two Trcuk replacement shows at Brookes and the Port Mahon. So that’s 4 shows, 1 wedding and 1 video shoot in 24 hours. Beat that.
In more serious news, yup, Truck got pulled, which was a real fucking shame. My moping on the subject was put firmly in its place by seeing the state of some of the Truck crew, who were not happy bunnies. There’s a reschedule for September which unfortunately I can’t make, but here’s to those guys for keeping their heads, and here’s to many more years of Truck madness.
