Evan shows how much he loves our buddies in the Khan brigade by immortalising their lyrics on his upper arm. The perfect xmas gift...

LEEEEEEEDS

I love Leeds, so much. I grew up there. I am a stoic Leeds United supporter. And when I went to save this image in my computer, there were already 4 files named "LEEEEEEDS.jpg".

To celebrate this, for our show at Oporto on the 5th December, we shall give £3 cheaplist to anyone who emails their names (as many as you want) to us at kabeedies@gmail.com

Because I love you Leeds.

Hellooooo Christian

 After an absoloutley amazing European tour in October, we're very happy to announce that this weird guy has joined our merry little band of morons as full-time guitarist/vocalist. We're completely delighted to have him on board, seeing as we've known each other for so long - he seemed an obvious choice, and we got on famously in a tiny space for a month, which is always a challenge. He's bringing a lot to the table as a creative guitarist, and hopefully that'll be reflected in our future works, which we can't wait for you to hear. Also, he's generally just a stand up guy, and you'll enjoy your first pint with him that's for sure.

 

So this is how we're looking now, complete sausage fest. We're training our testosterone-fuelled brains on to a short UK tour at the beginning of December, and then we look to produce a new EP for you all, which will hopefully be with you around April 2013.Now the songwriting commences again....

Oh! and also, Christian has been producing a few specialist tees for us, as well as lots of his own and some collaborations with amazing artists. His website is here: http://www.write-here.co.uk/ so go and say hi...

Love, The Kabeedies xxxx

Tour

After a considerably amazing tour, we're back home in England, nursing a month-long hangover and trying to re-adjust to buying milk... Thankyou so much to everyone who came to see us, the promoters who put us on, and the friends we made on the way. We're gonna be releasing a new EP next year, so keep your eyes peeled for that - and for tour videos and pictures. Ciao x

A week in....

And here are  few of the highlights from our European Tour....

Evan gets understandably excited this time of year, when his favourite festival rolls around in Kiel....

For Evan and Rory's birthday this year, i gave them both wishes. This ended up being a slight oversight on my part as Rory used his to force me to go out in Hamburg with a mullet...

And on that vain theme we took to clipping each other's hair incessantly. Christian takes care of Rory's bushy sideburns here...

And finally, the greatest thing in the world happened to Rory in a week of firsts. He had a bra thrown at him in Berlin, to fulfil his 17 year old dream. It hangs proudly on our dash.

The first week has been a blast, keep your eyes peeled for more degrading photos.

So long to an old friend

Hey everyone, today is the 18th July 2012 and unfortunately the day we have to announce to you all that Katie and ourselves are parting company. After 5 years of playing together Katie has decided to pursue other things and leave touring to the rest of us fools. We wish her all the best and we want to assure everyone that we still very much love her, no sensational arguments or anything, just a mutual parting of ways leaving us with nothing but a wealth of incredible memories and happy thoughts. From weeing herself in her tent the night before we went onstage at Latitude, to having the bejeesus scared out of her in a shack in the middle of some woods in Norway, to escaping a hostel in Manchester to stalk the streets looking for sushi, to having our minds collectively blown by the response to our show at Dockville – we’re left with millions of good times to look back on. Katie has been a rock for us and a livewire in equal measure, and I’m sure all of the people who saw us live would agree that she’s a sensational performer, a wonderful person and someone we’ll all miss hugely. The last 5 years of our lives have been utterly amazing, and Katie has been such a huge part of that and we’re very lucky to have grown up with her and experienced all we have together. Our last show in England with Katie will be our two gigs at Open in Norwich infront of our home fans on the 21^st July, a fitting end to a wonderful era. Meanwhile, we are by no means calling it quits, The Kabeedies will continue to perform and concentrate on writing our 3^rd album and keeping on the road with the 3 of us, touring Europe and the UK in the Autumn and beyond. Our form will evolve as we progress, but we’re still very much on board with the project and we’re all looking forward to seeing how the next year pans out.

Love, Fab, Evan and Rory

Blackburn College Session

On this, the 4th anniversary of the crowd at Latitude Festival pushing down the barriers on the lake stage while we were playing (as i shed a small tear), we thought we'd pop up a little live session we played for the wonderful people at Blackburn College:

Rebel Playlist

We've got the massive priviledge of being on Steve Lamacq's 6Music Rebel Playlist this week, with some seriously stiff competition. So we'd be eternally grateful if you could vote for our new single 'Bones' - as it'll get radio play on 6music all next week if we emerge triumphant, and also Evan is massively competitive and may punch me in the face if we lose. Please share this about, as you're basically punching me in the face if not.....
Thanks everyone xxxx

17th July show with The Crookes

We're playing a show at the Bull and Gate in Kentish Town, London, for our lavley label Fierce Panda, here's what you need to know:

A BRAND NEW SHOW COMES TO THE BULL & GATE!

THE MOST RADICALIST BLACK SHEEP MUSIC & FIERCE PANDA JOIN FURCES!

TO LAUNCH MONTHLY NIGHT CALLED SHEAR ME NOW!

THE MOST RADICALIST BLACK SHEEP MUSIC & FIERCE PANDA PRESENT…

'SHEAR ME NOW!'

Starring…THE CROOKES + THE KABEEDIES + PANDA CUBS

TUESDAY JULY 17TH 2012

LONDON KENTISH TOWN BULL & GATE (389 Kentish Town Road, NW5 2TJ. 020 7485 5358)

DOORS 7.30PM

ADVANCE TICKETS £6.50 from www.wegottickets.com/bullandgate/event/172479

July 17th sees the launch of a brand new monthly co-promotion between fierce panda and The Most Radicalist Black Sheep Music, aka TMR Black Sheep, the in-house music arm of ad agency Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH).

"Music's right at the heart of the culture at BBH. For us 'Shear Me Now!' is a way to extend what we do every day - we want to put ourselves out there to get even more involved with finding and working with new musicians and bands. We're really excited to be launching this brilliant new night with fierce panda."

Wise words all round, and here are the artists for that opening night…

THE CROOKES (onstage 9.45pm) are four handsomely dressed NewPop dudes from the Republic Of Yorkshire who are playing this fearsomely low key show to celebrate the launch of their new fierce panda single, 'Maybe In The Dark', out on July 23rd. This supremely svelte event follows the release of their sophomore album 'Hold Fast' on July 9th, and collapses most elegantly in the midst of festival appearances at Latitude, Benicassim and Tramlines back home in Sheffield. THE CROOKES' crisply-ruffled tunes have appeared on 'Lorraine', 'GMTV', 'Waterloo Road', 'The Big Bang Theory', 'Jamie's Great Britain' and, obviously, with ruthless regularity during the Monday evening goals round up on 'Look North'. www.thecrookes.co.uk

THE KABEEDIES (onstage 9.00pm) are from Norwich and have traditionally played fizzbombingly effervescent boy / girl / boy / boy leftfield pop which is bouncy like Tigger in a minefield and found global infamy via their 'Come On' track appearing on an Xbox advert. Latterly however they have added a mature sombreness to their sound, as evidenced by current album 'Soap' and supersad imminent single 'Bones' (released on fierce panda on July 23rd). http://thekabeedies.bandcamp.com/

PANDA CUBS (onstage 8.15pm) are from York and, amazingly, they don't have a release coming out on fierce panda in the next half hour. What they do have however is a broody, bruised outlook on musical life which manifests itself in gloriously dark pop outbursts which nod at the shadowy outlines of Editors and Interpol. Shadowy, we say… http://soundcloud.com/pandacubs

Our single postponed

Due to a very unfortunate accident involving our single, a carrier pigeon and a jet engine, our double-a side single won't be reaching you tomorrow. Instead, we'll be postponing the release of 'Bones/Underfloor Lover' until mid-summer, so you can enjoy the slightly darker undertones of the new tracks whilst sipping a margherita on the beaches of the costa-del-sol. More information regarding the exact date of release, and the videos accompanying the singles, will be announced soon.
Love you all

Last Soap Lyrics

Phew.........

Underfloor Lover

There's no heat left underfloor,
A stranger in your bed,
A thousand ears met last night,
And still ring with what you said.
You were cold and you were cruel,
Another round to draw some blood,
Always you choose to talk,
So you don't sink into the mud.

Wash black into the basin,
Set the blood shot through your eyes,
Eat breakfast at the table,
As another morning dies.
Take your body to the street,
In the clothes you wore to dream,
Your legs will stall and falter,
As your brain bursts to the seams.

(I'll take these small chances,
These nights are just for me,
I will stoke the dying embers,
For all the world to see.)

As the pavemnt takes the pressure,
You seek the bending links,
In the chain of friendships you forged,
More hollow than you think.
The day will come full circle,
Surrounded by those friends,
Who took offense to your thoughts,
On which your world depends.

(I'll take these small chances,
These nights are just for me,
I will stoke the dying embers,
For all the world to see.)

(When my pride begins to slip,
And ruin rules my head,
I start to name the faceless
Strangers in my bed).


L.T

48, Joan of Arc, Armed with jesuits bark
21, punctured limb, branded on a whim.
An unplanned child is a terrifying thing,
but the leiutenant brings, what the lieutenant brings.

There is a cell, that's monitored,
By cold machines, in hospital.
There is a cell, that's monitored,
And we all look on in fear.

19, does as much as let by her harsh touch.
65, terrified, yet to be informed.
An unplanned child is a terrifying thing,
But he's made by strength, and strength he shall bring.

Here it is round again, another saving grace,
Here we are arms in arcs, set to let him in.
An unplanned child, is a terrifying thing,
First the lieutenant shreds, then the leiutenant cleans.

There is a cell,
By cold machines,
There is a cell,
Who doubts the work of their instincts.


Keyhole

Meet me through the keyhole, Meet me through the keyhole,
If one heart withdraws then the other heart claws,
Oh, you took my day and you made it.

Meet me through the keyhole, Meet me through the keyhole,
I'll palm my way through the popped veins and clay,
Oh, you took my day and you made it.

Met me through the keyhole, Met me through the keyhole,
Nose nearly on the ground, you hoped I'd come around,
Made my day, now we'll taste it.

Conversation through the keyhole, Conversation through the keyhole,
Hope the end would never come, 'cos the end is on the run,
Seems so naive now, Goodbye.


Thankyou very much,
Love, The Kabeedies

More Soap Lyrics

Bones

You awoke in the morning and said,
What will happen to me when I'm dead,
Will a million old bugs eat my bones?
Or will I be returned to my home?

If I knew that then I would be rich,
I'd predict every death to the inch,
When the gunfire and smoke light the sky,
I could tell you exactly who'll die

But he's just another, face in the crowd,
If you sleep through the morning, he won't come around,
He's just another, face in the crowd,
Oh the bones in the graveyard, are moving around.

Both the master and lover are sewn,
Immortal souls and they're never alone,
Black cat's luck and the book never seen,
Just a rose where the bodies have been.

We can have all the luck in the world,
One day our lives will surely unfurl,
No long pause 'fore the verdict is read,
We'll just know in our hearts that we're dead.

But he's just another, face in the crowd,
If you sleep through the morning, he won't come around,
He's just another, face in the crowd,
Oh the bones in the graveyard, are moving around.


 Drowning Doll


I'm glad the drowning doll was saved,
Yes survived, but left so frail,
It's never wished for a tighter hold,
Plums were placed to make a trail.
The taste of salt will follow us,
I hold too tight it's true,
I'll acclimatise to your place,
Be calm, push ribs to you.

I'm not furious. You're delightful.
Times have changed for me.
Your voice stayed strong.
I've been running for years.
You told me which fruit I'd see.
I'm not furious. You're delightful.

Disrupt me with a dimmer switch,
That's what I should've held my tongue for.
I was only in detention then,
For saying things that I saw.
I was punished for my running eyes,
Told to do as I'm told,
You kept me safe, a little younger,
I'm petrified of growing old.


I'm not furious. You're delightful.
Times have changed for me.
Your voice stayed strong.
I've been running for years.
You told me which fruit I'd see.
I'm not furious. You're delightful.

Santiago

I'm sure,
I'm sure of it now,
The key lies in the Sierra Maestra

I'm sure,
I'm sure of it now,
Santiago and Castro in La Granma

I see,
I see it now,
History repeats the fact of the matter.

I see,
I see it now,
With inspiration from the lepers in San Pablo.

A man looks down over Havana,
As a light shines over Espana.

I stop,
I stop it now,
The power eating the wings of the people.

I hold,
I hold it now,
The new world in my heart like a burden,

I mix,
I mix it now,
The compound of blood and rust on the carpet

I'm sure,
I'm sure of it now,
Santiago and Castro in La Granma.

A man looks down over Havana,
As a light shines over Espana.

Come Out of the Blue

My life I love you, but you're letting me down,
I used to claw at the doorway now i claw at the ground.

Come out of the blue, and I will glue my arms around you.
Come out of the blue, and I will hush the morning gulls for you.

In your mouth you let my worries all melt,
You knitted your hands around my torso, darling I felt....
(Warmer than I've ever felt)

Come out of the blue, and I will glue my arms around you.
Come out of the blue, and I will hush the morning gulls for you.

You let my worries melt in your mouth and now I'm never turning back,
This fluid love from by the stones and gulls is glued to my back.

Come out of the blue, and I will glue my arms around you.
Come out of the blue, and I will hush the morning gulls for you.

Eyes

Platform signs sit swinging in the station,
Old men sit in their seats,
Burning sun bearing down on the people with hair all wet from the heat.
Speeding past the bodies out the window, men straighten their ties.
All the seats of motion-sick children put fear into adult eyes.
It's a long long way to drive, before these people find a way in which to keep the truth alive.

They won't sleep 'til, they know, their aching feet are home.

Grinding wheels hit friction with the steel,
The carriage groans with the weight,
Of people dying to get up from their tables and run head-first through the gate.
Past the cabs and half-expectant buses, mothers smoking inside,
The cars that take them home until another solitary weekday ride.
It's a long long way to drive, before these people find a way in which to keep the truth alive.


They won't sleep 'til, they know, their aching feet are home.
 

Soap - Lyrics

Ooookay, here I begin the unenviable task of scraping together the lyrics from scraps of toilet paper to our new album Soap. Let's begin at the very beginning, a very good place to start....


Hang Ups of the West
Roll down my Oxford English chest,
I ought to carry you the best
In the cradle of my sugar rich tongue.

Although you yearn to be,
I cannot quite believe
that you haven't been before

Forget the hang ups of The West

You're 19 wayfarer,
Washing off the sunshine sweats
Forgetting the hang ups of The West

We might as well do this properly,
Take it's body down to the sea,
This Imperial Mess is bloated at best

Forget the hang ups of The West

Before.....

Forget the hang ups of The West


Elizabeth

Was it 80 'cos I heard it was a little more,
650 lost behind your door,
Your little palatine boy was off at war,
You were more than just a caretaker for the cause,
Did you wanna,
See that daughter,
Touched with water,
Is that your torture?
There was something wrong with the wedding home,
The day you took up arms to the village bone.


Elizabeth, What have you done?

You were lying in your bricked up bed,
In Vienna they were crying for the royal head,
Your teeth were longing for milk and bread,
All you had were memories of the dead,
Do you wonder,
Who is under,
The summer gardens,
Are you big enough?
I will never see every single deed,
I can only be sure you'll never come for me.

Elizabeth, What have you done?

The children sing their song........


The Boy with the Bad Mouth


He was born in a basement, No height to his name,
All fingers in the bowling ball of family shame,
Kept under lock and key, 'til he found alcohol,
And unleashed on this little world his big scary soul,
I said, "Son you're gonna wind up dead, before the morning".

On the subject of honour, he fought tooth and nail,
'Til a death for my family, unless I end up in jail,
With a head full of chemicals, park bench for his bed
I said "Son you're gonna wind up dead, before the morning"

He had love for his mother, he had love for his Queen,
He had love for his Girlfriend when he was 16,
But the boy was born with a bad mouth, that he can't keep clean.

A brute from the off, a real pain in the neck,
All sympathy for the boy was never kept,
His final curtain call - a drunk blow to the head,
I said "Son you've gone and wound up dead, before the morning".

He had love for his mother, he had love for his Queen,
He had love for his Girlfriend when he was 16,
But the boy was born with a bad mouth, that he can't keep clean.

I'll get the remaining lyrics up in a short while

Step 2: Go to the lovely Rose Tavern across the park to watch Man City vs Wigan
Step 3: Find the game entirely boring and resort to trying to create a football team comprised entirely of people with first names as their last names.
Step 4: Get in several arguments about the legitimacy of some of the choices. "Fletcher IS a first name".
Step 5: Spend several hours creating the team on Fifa after leaving the pub.
Step 6: Stay up 'til 2am playing through a season, confirming that a player called 'Alan' is infact the best player in the world.
Step 7: Get up at 9:30am for your singing lesson and wonder what the hell you were thinking the night before.

Our New Years Eve

 Katie and I rocked into the birdcage in our best Lady Gaga outfits (OBVIOUSLY), and I immediately regretted cooking the bacon on my head as grease was slowly dripping into my already bleary eyes. Rory however, revelled in his rather marvellous Joey Barton QPR strip, looking every part the queen. We have absoloutley no idea where or what Evan did - as he seemed to disappear for the 3 weeks over Xmas and New Year, answers on the back of a postcard. Fab x

Tracklisting for Soap

Hamburg last year

Katie writes our name in condensation on the window we're playing behind to let the drunken revellers on the Reeperbahn know EXACTLY who we are....

Video

The video for our new single Eyes goes live online a week today at 7pm (Sunday 8th January), and our new album Soap is out in 3 weeks too. Myself and Rory start rehearsals for our new set tomorrow, and i'm still caked in mascara and bacon grease from last night, i feel a little overwhelmed....I'm gonna go cry in a corner.
