Fife's Got Everything

I'm playing a solo set in Kirkcaldy this Friday. Drnt Drum social at the Path Tavern with the mental Thee Headbaddies and others. Organised for the benefit of those attending the Sonik Youth Music Project and their friends, so very a worthwhile cause. As the great man said, "Fife's Got Everything".
To make up for this selfish act I've included a couple of mugshots of a couple of mugs from the Shit Trinket gig last week. Highlight of the night being the indie'er-than-thou dancing at the end; replete with ill-fitting yellow cardigan with large repeated red rose design.

Not for all the Russian Caravan Tea in China

A quick reminder about the gig on Thursday. Wee Red Bar, Edinburgh 9pm 'till late with Glen or Glenda and Damn Shames.

Here's a photo too, of the Tigerfest gig. We're now advertising in shop windaes for other musicians. After this gig it's back to recording drums again. Two of the songs have had to be re-done from scratch as a result of attempting to put down 7 guide tracks in 3 hours and lots of coffee a while back. We ended up with songs that were twice as fast as they should be. I don't know how we didn't notice straight away; but Hooligan Choir sounded like it should be played by The Locust! I think we'll also get new song Tradesman's Lovesong down for the album too.

I'll quickly mention Pop Theory, which is an indie club with live bands on every month in Edinburgh run by a friend of mine Andy.

Hope to see some of you at the gig on Thursday.

Love Plus One

The tigerfest gig has been and gone now. Only our second gig this year so far but here's details of our next voyage on the flyers done by the Shit Trinket guys. We played Tradesman's Love Song live for the first time and people said nice things about it like, "braw!".

The Folk have agreed to look for a fourth full-time member. Keyboards, singing, and other more crazy stuff. We mixed up the banjo and guitar songs at the gig which was good, but someone else would make the set a bit more consistent. Hoping to be in Glasgow soon, so we'll keep you posted.

I'm off to see Popup, Owsley Sunshine, Jim Noir and the excellent Nut Bros. at seperate gigs this month. Speak soon and here's the setlist for the Tigerfest gig -

Patron Saint of Saints
Francis Bacon Would Approve
