Hello

We have 2 very different videos for you too watch

The first being a video we made for Chemistry with the wonderful Harriet Bridgwater of modernmilk.blogspot which has been hosted by The Line Of Best Fit. We made it during a slow afternoon, and wanna big up everyone who let us use their personal photographs.

You can watch it here

http://www.thelineofbestfit.com/2010/10/exclusive-tall-ships-chemistry/

And now for something completely different

http://www.frontarmy.com/video/front-vid-a-night-out-with-natalie-blair/

errrrrrrrr. sex sells right? Does this mean we could be the backing track to some possible self pleasuring? Who knows. The possibilty of people cracking out with our music in the background is too funny not to mention.

peace

Hello everybody. It has been an insane few weeks for us which has seen us being confirmed to support some seriously GOOD bands on many many days. Needless to say we are pant-wettingly excited and shit-ourselves nervous about the prospect of taking our ramshackle mess of a live show to some new places and new people.

First up we got 3 days with MINUS THE BEAR, and the lovely chaps of BRONTIDE.
couldn't quite believe it ourselves when we got confirmed for these... some seriously big venues, it aint often you get the chance to play with a band that dominated the listening of your teenage years...
