Buy our shit.

Hi. We now have T-shirts and bags for sale. Ema (who did our CD artwork) hand screened them herself a few weeks back before we went to Switzerland. The shirts themselves were leftovers from a t-shirt printing stall that Ema ran at Truck Festival so the number of different sizes and colours is a little random. These shirts are not sweatshop free, despite the claims of the wholesaler who sold them and so we will be donating £2 per shirt to No Sweat, an active movement against sweatshops worldwide. No Sweat have been campaigning and putting on events to raise money and awareness of these issues and we're pleased to be involved with them and
will be playing 2 of their upcoming benefit shows. (See Gigs for dates and venues).

Our next batch of shirts will be sweat free, but we still aim to remain involved with No Sweat in whatever way we can. You can get our stuff here.

Thanks.

Some Photos from Switzerland

Almost everywhere you go in Switzerland, on any day, you can see the mountains in the distance. It was awesome.



There's more photos here

We're on iTunes

You can now get "Two Sticks and Six Strings" on iTunes by clicking the icon below. We used a company called "EmuBands" to arrange our CD being available on iTunes and I cannot recommend them enough. Check their site here

For those that buy the record from iTunes and want to make their own box for it, the JPG of our artwork is available for you to print out and fold up if you want to.

Switzerland was fun...

...and now we are back at home and back to work. I cannot wait to go back into Europe, driving to gigs has never been so beautiful and everyone we met went right out of their way to make us feel at home. I'll post up some photos soon once I have sifted through 3 cameras and several memory cards to pick out the ones that are worth sharing. "100 Club" is still downloadable, I'll leave it up for a bit longer for anyone who hasn't downloaded it yet. Dan.

100 Club is now Downloadable

Hi. You can download the first song off our new EP at last FM this week:

Fuck the recession! Dan.

Geneva is 614 Miles Away

Our good friends PJ and Gaby asked us a few months back if we were up for traveling to Switzerland to play a few shows with them. We'd been practicing their songs as a full band (with Josh on drums and me on bass) for a while and it was good fun, so we said "yes" and it got booked almost immediately. They then booked us our own show and then 2 more shows. It's like having a booking agent who arranges your backline, flights and a place to stay, for free. Awesome. Thanks PJ+Gaby! Anyway we go on the 14th April really early, have a practice, shoot to the gig (with Joey Cape) and play. Nothing like cramming in a weeks worth of stuff into a day. I have heard that geneva is ball-breakingly expensive so any thrifty tips should be forwarded to cheapbastards@apologiesihavenone.co.uk

Leg 2 - Tour Diary

The second leg of our took us to Norwich. We have played there a few times, the first was an acoustic "tour" put on by Jugs, where we played songs outside pubs with Sam Russo, collecting people as we went until we had played 5 or 6 places and gathered quite a crowd. We played our last songs on the stairs of a bank and by this time we were drunk, hoarse and completely happy. It was an awesome night and since then Norwich, Jugs and everyone we met has held a special place in this bands heart. We played the Marquee with Bomb The Music Industry last year and so I was really excited to come back and play, this time with Mike TV. Mike Scott played as well and it was the first time we had seen him plugged in. Mike is such an interesting artist and he really killed it tonight. The crowd was thin the whole night but it seemed to fill up a bit for Mike and us which was good.

 

The Peterborough show was put in by Jordy - if you haven't met him yet you are in for a treat, the guy is a legend. The show was predominantly hardcore - Attack Vipers and Beasts were the co-headline and it was packed. A free show on a Friday makes a lot of sense and it was awesome fun. 

We headed to Kierans house very late for sleep and then a killer breakfast before driving to Manchester for the all-day event put on by "Last Lung". The whole day was just awesome and totally packed. It was a tight schedule and we had to have a 2 hour break for the football which was a rule imposed by the venue (which incidentally was almost completely full of people who were there to see a punk show). We left for home before the end because Josh was starting to become completely monochrome but we stuck around to see the Arteries who just smashed it.

Another tour ends and its back to work again. I've been back a week now and I literally cannot wait to get back "on the road" (kill me for saying that). Thanks to everyone that came to see us, bought our CD and sang along. Extra thanks to everyone that put us on and put us up. This sort of thing just cannot happen without people being willing to take almost strangers into their hearts and homes and putting their time and money into it. You keep this rolling - thank you.
