To the Extreme!

I am reading the Vanilla Ice autobiography at the moment. It was written a few years back so I don't think it will document his downfall into obscurity. Shame.

Compelling reading though. Review soon.


Does anyone want to rap on our full-length?

I wish I had more to report.

I don't think I have mentioned it here, but Calvinball have mentioned it so the proverbial cat is out of the proverbial sack anyway so I guess I can talk freely about our planned 3-way split with Calvinball and Onsind. I have no idea who suggested it, but we all decided that since touring together was really fun, that we would cover one of each bands songs and then put out a record. I'm not sure who is releasing it either. Not much has been agreed other than that we all agree that we are going to do it. That much has been agreed.

It's been a mixture of fun and frustrating trying to work out covers of songs that I already think are amazing, but do something interesting to them which doesn't change them so dramatically that it sounds unfamiliar. Me and Josh spent almost 8 hours trying to work out about 30 seconds of the middle of the Calvinball song yesterday. I thought my head was going to explode. We have barely even started the Onsind song yet.

So thats how it's going: Slowly. 




On top of all this we have been demo-ing our whole new record at home, tweaking almost everything to make sure it will sound banging and to save us time in the studio. It's depressing to look at my calandar and see no shows booked for January and February but there seems to be so much to do to finish this record and make it as good as possible that we just couldn't see a way around it. In March we will be touring again and hopefully testing out new songs before we record.

In other news, I have become awesome at making balloon animals.


You'll find me making money on the side at kids parties around East London. I am available to hire also: balloonanimalswithattitude@apologiesihavenone.co.uk

But don't email me with genuine booking requests because what you see on the right is the limit of my abilities.

Happy new year

Hi.

I was going to wrap this year up by listing and describing my favourite shows that happened this year and I never finished that because it sounded like a whole bunch of backslapping of people who are my friends and it all sounded a bit cliquey. I'm not into that. The people who smashed it this year, well, I've already told them that I thought they were awesome. I know that when you tell someone they were awesome right after they played it can come across a little dishonest at times, other times it's just a horrible time to be starting a conversation while packing stuff away, but I hope those people know that what they have done has stayed with me.

For me, this year has been great, it's our first full year as a 4 piece and I feel happier and more content with what we are doing than ever before. We've played a lot of shows this year, been to Europe twice, been around this country more times than I can count and played with more than a handful of bands that I have a huge amount of admiration for. Next year we'll be putting out a full length (finally) and touring hard as usual and hope we can change things up a little and do a lot of new things, musically, and otherwise. I'll talk more shit here and tell everyone about gear and stuff like that, because that stuff is universally accepted as being awesome to discuss. Right?

I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who put us on this year, everyone who let us stay at their house, fed us, partied with us and mostly, everyone who came along to our shows and made sure we didn't just play to the bar-staff and the promoter. We've been there, it's not fun.  I also want to thank the bands we have toured with this year - Rooftops, Just Panic, Imadethismistake, Crazy Arm and Dan Postin for being the best dude I have met this year. Touring can be tricky, even at the best of times and I would do it all again with all of you.

I am rambling now, I feel I have too many people to mention and I have mostly said all this to people already so I'll leave it here.

I cannot wait to get back onto the road next year, see you all then.

ps: New website soon. Myspace is dead and I am abandoning it ASAP.

Dear Apple inc.

Dear Apple Inc.

Thanks for the e-mails through December reminding me to buy various Apple products as Christmas presents for my loved ones. Had you been advertising iPod shuffles, Nanos or accessories for Apple products at a reasonable price, I might not have been so keen to immediately delete your e-mails. However, you thought it perfectly appropriate to remind me to buy iPads for my loved ones. A £500 gift. How about a Macbook pro? Only a grand!

And yet the only things you know about me, are that I bought my laptop from you four years ago in your refurbished section to reduce the cost to myself and I have bought nothing from you since then. I have only been in touch with you to have my laptop repaired a number of times because of random faults and the fact that your magnetic power supply cables frequently melt and become a fire hazard. My laptop died this year, only four years old. By any standards, thats pretty shit for eight hundred pounds.

Thanks for e-mailing me today, reminding me, only 4 days after Christmas, where I bought nothing from you, that I should "treat myself" to an iPad. Even my Dad knows that the iPad is a gimmicky, expensive, underpowered toy.

Merry Christmas.

Dan

Last Minute Christmas presents!

We have just upped our new shirts and ceramic owls to our shop. Any orders we get will be shipped the same day or the day after if you are buying for Christmas. The owls are limited to about 100 and we sold a bunch on tour so not too many left. They come giftwrapped and strung with ribbon.
