I got home from the USA this morning.

I ate hotdogs, cheese dogs, grapeade, STRAWBERRY AND PEANUT BUTTER M&M'S!, mountain dew, cherry mountain dew, reese's pieces, famous dave's barbeque pit, mac&cheese and various other nutritious food stuffs.

I am full until next week.

So I am home and ready for music, fully inspired by Obama, the Empire State and seeing Keith from We Are Scientists on the Subway.
And I watched Prince of Persia and Karate Kid on the plane (watch karate kid, will smith's son is amazing but his wife is less good) so that inspired me too.

And it turns out McDonalds "Sausage McGriddle" is a BAD food item, never eat it.
It's just pancakes and sausage meat.
With syrup.

Well anyway as fab said, much second album songwriting shall commence.
With an american twang of hey y'all.

My saviour

It's been a couple of weeks full of numbing malaise...with Evan and Rory away on holiday, myself and Katie were left to pick our bums. Well, to be fair, Katie had work at the Birdcage most of the time, and i, aside from the occasional distraction of trying to get myself injured at football, have been sat in a puddle in Lowestoft vainly attempting to songwrite.
With the onset of a murky guilt as i realise i definately should be doing something more constructive than sitting with my head on a guitar, occasionally flicking through pages of Winnie-The-Pooh or Harry Potter, i resign myself to the fact that i can't actually entertain myself or do anything particularly productive in my house. My mind drifting listlessly between South American politics and Football Manager, and internal monologue droning on like that last sentence i wrote.
But help came in the help of an African Songsmith Prince Nico Mbarga, who's my musical saviour...as of now i suppose, until i forget about him in a week or so. But while i remember anyway, here's some of his stuff... enjoy.
Rory returns from New York this weekend, and we commence writing on our 2nd album. Sweet musical release, ahhh.......

Come out of the blue video

We join forces again next week with our favourite camera-wielding maniac Harry Hall, from These Ghosts, for a 2 day jaunt around the country in his car to film the video for our new single 'Come Out Of The Blue' which is out on the 4th October.
I can't wait for it to come out, we're all so happy with the song and we hope you like it too. We're touring around the UK and Germany in October to support it, so come and watch us and we might give you one of our packets of mustard.
But right now I'm gonna sit down with a Macaroni Cheese and wait, staring at a blank screen, for the Inbetweeners to return....

If you wanna Pre-Order Come Out Of The Blue, you can do so from www.nrone.co.uk, and aswell as the 7" Vinyl, you'll get Free Download codes for the MP3's to it and the b-side 'Milk'.

Love, Fab xxx

Buoyant

So, Evan's on holiday...in spain.... and we're back in England fresh from touring's bright lights and feeling pretty squiffy and down. Until Roary calls up and we decide to do some songwriting... which is starting to work well for us again. Plus Katie won at Twister at the Weekend. I also stumbled upon some lovely things people had said about us on Tumblr, which is massively self-indulgent i know - but hey... no i've got nothing i'm just self-indulgent.

PLUS, I'm listening to Tokyo Police Club's knew album, which is as amazing as i knew it would be

Sweet

Love, Fab-Kabeedie xxxx
