Food Review – Southampton 22/10/09

posted October 25th,2009 by Robert

The Joiners is on an odd street.  There seems to be a large amount of take aways on the street considering its size, and as the only establishments that warrant take aways are few on the street it seems quite odd. We ended up in Hudsons.  We had aimed to go to a Chinese but [...]

UK Tour Notes

posted October 23rd,2009 by Ellen

It’s rather bizarre to think that we have not played UK centric shows in a year, the last two gigs have made it seem like we have never been away. We have quickly settled back into the routine of sitting in a splitter driving along the M roads talking utter rubbish whilst  longing for  M [...]

Food Review – Coventry 21/10/09

posted October 22nd,2009 by Robert

So we were told that the venue had in house catering.  What actually happened was that they ordered food in for us.  It was nice of them to do that because it meant that we didn’t have to go and find anything, but this meant our choice was limited.  We had food from a place [...]

posted October 15th,2009 by Gareth

Well this totally fucks up my provisional list of Albums of The Year… Just moments ago I received an email that read like this: “I came across your blog mentioning Nosferatu D2 as one of your favourite bands & their infamous last gig with you. I thought you may like to know that for the [...]

posted October 13th,2009 by Robert

So the food reviews are back, and this time we have the chance to savour the delights of the UK. Suggestions for places that are close to the venues would be much appreciated.  And I mean close, not places that a 30 minute drive away. Here’s a reminder of where we are playing. 21st Oct [...]
