As Heard On Tour # 1

posted March 31st,2009 by Gareth

A new series where I publish quotes uttered on tour, taken completely out of context and don’t attribute them to anyone, taking the huge private joke that is this blog, perhaps TOO far: “I had a wank in the back of a taxi once”

Food review – Philadelphia 29/3/09

posted March 30th,2009 by Robert

So as I put out a request for dinner suggestions, I thought it best to review the dinners that I had. So in Philadelphia I went to a fine place called Chickpea.

Day One off tour…jesus christ, i wrote “off” instead of “of”…things have got this bad already? Anyway, we woke in New Jersey. I don’t understand why we stayed in NJ, the day before and of the Philly show. It meant two pretty long journeys, desperate to pee, but WHO AM I to question the judgement [...]

Today is our last day at Stamford, and subsequently the last day of the first session of recording, before we head out on tour.

Two years ago, it seemed I bumbled around interviews talking about how much I hated specific bands. It’s not that I like those bands now, I just realise how stupid a topic of conversation it is. It wasn’t entirely my fault. A lot of music journalists (primarily in the UK) very much saw LC! as [...]

Tragic Behavior

Whilst Gareth went to watch the great Moz, myself and Alek did something which we think is perhaps “really cool”. We wrote into Mayo and Kemodes 5 live show and asked (very nicely) if we could be said hello too. Anyway here is the fruit of our labors and I think you will agree it is [...]
