3 Hours is a long time in Band-politics

Well...... i bugger off to watch Toy Story 3 (seriously nice movie), and when i return i find that our new single has it's artwork completed and is ready to pre-order on 7" Vinyl and Download.

Our single is 'Come Out of The Blue', and the b-side is 'Milk' - and it's gonna be released on the 4th October which is Rory's birthday, so we'll be celebrating with a tuna sandwich and a walk on the beach.

We're really happy with the songs, and the photo used for the cover - which was taken by the lovely Ruby Squires.

You can pre-order Come Out Of The Blue now, from www.nrone.co.uk

Love, Fab xxxx

Evan writes a song.....

Sung to a melody suspiciously like "Fast Cars" by Tracey Chapman

"You've got a nice bra, but you can't take it off 'cos your arms are too short.
You've got a nice bra, i can take it off if you wanna...

I've got a nice bra, it's see through with the tassels on,
I've got a nice bra, but David Hasselhoff cut the tassels off,

David Hasselhoff cut the tassels off
David Hasselhoff cut the tassels off
David Hasselhoff cut the tassels off
David Hasselhoff cut the tassels off

I used to have a nice bra, but David Hasselhoff cut the tassels off
I used to have a nice bra, fuck you David Hasselhoff."

By Evan Jones, Aged 19

Metronome Foam Dome

We're also pleased to announce that we're in the studio next week to record our new single, entitled 'Come Out Of The Blue', which some of you might have heard. It's my first time drumming with a click-track metronome in my ear so that's gonna be busy making me it's bitch for a couple of days. The single will be out in October, coinciding with the German release of our album 'Rumpus'.

There's only a few copies of the UK version left, so if you want one - speed on over to www.nrone.co.uk, as there'll only be 100 copies of the export (German) album to buy. Although.... the export album will have lots of exclusive tracks on it...including Jitterbug Re-Edit.

Love you all

NO EVAN! We're not leaving yet....

After the first half of our week, we had consumed many steins of lovely german Brau, and watched a shit-ton of football in the sun. Nothing, it seemed, could top our fun for the week. That is, until we stumble upon the winning combination of a rad gig, a free bar, and a hotel that is 5 minutes down the road.

The venue 'Schwarzes Shaf' (probably mis-spelled that), was super sweet, and really really really hot. And after a worryingly sweaty soundcheck we retreated to the sanctuary of it's nearby sister-cafe to enjoy a wee coffee and watch italy go out of the world cup. Nice. We met our lovely buddy and booking agent Peter, and his daughter Joana (one of Peter's two daughters who are both insane and thouroughly rad) for a curry, which under the circumstances was easily the worst meal we could have thought to have. The gig was amazing though, and fully lived up to it's sweaty vibe. We met two guys who seemed very ennamered with me, and tried to convince me they were english despite raving german accents and confusing Manchester with Macclesfield. This continued a theme for the night as we met wonderful person after wonderful person, until Evan decided he'd had enough of wonderful people and preceeded to go throw up in the toilet. I should imagine his idea of mixing jagermeister into beer had a little to do with this. After seeing to Evan in the toilet and leaving him to a giggling Katie, i went on to dance an odd waltz with Roary and Craig to Darwin Deez as we continued to expand the horizons of modern dance. Until they too fell to the mistress that is drink and stumbled back in the general direction of the hotel.

Craig (our manager and spritual guru...and Rory's dad) returned a few minutes later to order a beer whilst casually notioning to me that he'd left rory in the doorway of the wrong hotel, throwing up. Unpurturbed by this, he proceeded to drink his beer and kindly ask the barlady where our hotel actually was - upon which he realised he'd gone to the hotel directly opposite. Picking up a stricken Rory on the way home, Katie and I walked them back to the beautiful hotel which they all sicked on. We then went back out again for a quick one. And met a nice irish girl....

Oh! Flugzeug!

We are half way through our week in lovely Germany!
We played a super gig at Puerto Giesing last night and wolfed down several more pizza´s, we love bread and meat.
We had a super session for a bavarian radio station yesterday and had the privilege of watching the England game at the same time, our reactions to qualifying were definitely caught live on air...
We are off down the big Bahn to Augsberg now to watch more football, eat more pizza, drink more beer and play another gig. Perfect.
Tshabalala, everything will be alright i promise.

Germany! Mark 2, or 3? I don't know...

So tonight we hop on the midnight ferry to Germany!
As previously posted we are playing in Stuttgart, Munich, Augsberg and Wiesbaden.
We depart at 1900 hours sharp and should be in Stuttgart 12 hours later, god bless driving!
I think these guys are coming to one of the gigs:
