So I went away on holiday for a little while, which was fucking great actually, and then come home to find out that everything has gone batshit insane. Still trying to figure out if that’s because things built up during a week of having my phone switched off, or if it’s because things are, well, insane right now. Probably a bit of both. Anyways, there’s much to say, so I’ve broken things up into two parts. Right now I’m going to talk about news to do with shows. We’ll do news about releases, um, probably tomorrow.

First up, this Thursday (13th) I’ll be playing at 93 Feet East in London as part of the Macmillan Brick Lane Takeover. It’s for a great cause, in a great part of the world, and there are some awesome other bands (not least The Xcerts and Dave House). So there’s no good reason not to come along then, eh?

Secondly, for those on the other side of the world, there’s going to be a free instore show in Los Angeles on 15th September at Amoeba Records. Which, I think you’ll agree, is seven shades of awesome.

Continuing on the thread of American shows, I’m very, very pleased to announce that I’m going to be joining the second Revival Tour in November. Last year I did a few shows, and they were mind-bendingly great. I’m pleased to say I’m going to be playing a whole chunk more this year, from Las Vegas through to Florida. The dates can be found on my myspace. Good fucking times.
