With computers few and far between in the small spaces we were inhabiting between cities... it's been a little while since we penned our wild thoughts.
Enjoying a wee break after Lincoln and Ipswich shows (which were bloody nice), we made the familiar journey past our favourite 4-star eaterie and gentleman's club 'The Anglia Cafe' - which we regularly frequent for lunch. Suitably revived from tea and eggy chips, we made the 3 hour drive from Lincoln to York.
York is a wonderful place, with Katie regularly pointing out 'It's like we're on Diagon Alley from Harry Potter'. It's bloody nice, and the venue we were playing at was a pretty wacky suprise. The city screen basement is literally in the basement of a big cinema right on the river running through the city. Thanks to everyone who came to the show, we blew off some steam and enjoyed ourselves before meandering back to our Headquarters in Leeds.... to relax with some snooker and a dog.
We had a day in Leeds the next morning. don't be fooled this was by far the most comfortable we got on tour...
usually all the entertainment we have is playing the Candy King Bag Ventilation Game.... involving a bag of sweets and the in-car vents.
And we found the cockpit pretty busy with noah and the whale fans (they were playing next door), we met some nice dudes who were sporting noah and the whale home made shirts. Noah and his damn whale better have appreiciated. We played with our good chums Just HandShakes We're British at the cockpit that night and they really stepped up their game and put on a fucking great show. Thanks to everyone who came to that gig, it was sold out in the end and we had a cracking time playing. We met our buddy Cockring from Guilt Pursuit outside, who'd managed to miss our set....eedjot. So we slapped him about a bit before launching ourselves back to norwich to prepare for our hometown single launch...
Now Norwich was always our favourite place to play... but bugger me you're all amazing when you want to be. And the crowd in norwich really really made us feel at home. Possibly our favourite gig to date... we all felt we connected a lot better with each other onstage (literally...when evan leaped over the drumkit face first into me), improved our performance from last time and generally felt bloody good about the whole thing. Thankyou very very much to everyone who came, especially to David and Caity. The only downside was my Soup Dragon got nicked....
We'd gone charity shopping for 5 hours or so before the gig...and rory donned his bassamp with pictures of dogs and ornaments of farmers and suchlike. I purchased as many cuddly toys as possible (as well as a policemans hat) and we gave out our usual post-gig ukelele.
The bands playing with us in Norwich were bloody magnificent too, the Bobby McGee's are always wonderful to watch, and special li'l ladies Scraps won the crowd over instantly =D
Our gig in Southampton got cancelled the day after... so we got to nurse our post-birdcage hangovers for a day....
celebrating charlotte's birthday with a few cosmopolitans too many
we'll fill you in with the rest of our happenings in the next few days
Love you all and thanks to everyone who came to see us =D
