mayors of miyazaki

they passed a law in '64

2012-01-28T06:39:00.000-08:00

check out the rad video for 'butter stinker', put together by mark ludgate at all aboard films. good lad that he is!

our weekender with kill murray was rad, thanks to everyone who came out to see us. it hopefully won't be the last time we play with them.

bit of good news is that we've set the dates for recording our next alb, bit of bad news is that we've had to cancel the mini-tour we had planned for april in order to make room for this. however, we'll be doing a proper tour in august instead so it's not so bad. if you fancy having us in your town let us know!

you can now download a brand new previously unheard mayors track from our bandcamp, totally free and stuff - yay! it's going to go on our new album, though probably a different recording of it. so fill your boots.

call it a late christmas present if you like, or a thank you for anyone who came to a show this year, or bought some merch etc etc. we love you loads.

amazing show in streatham last night - who'd have thought it? big thanks for eat your robot for having us. i'll post a link to a song or two on youtube soon. and massive props to Oz and everyone at music 4 children, they are doing some awesome work. check this http://www.music4children.org if you don't know about them.

i am feeling very olympic today

BBC 6 music are gonna play one or two of our numbers on tom robinson's show. so that's pretty rad, should be on some sort of podcast too. tom from ragweed got us played on a station in brighton too i think...i think. either way, both are good lads. thanks toms!

also, we've pretty much finished writing and demoing our next album. looking forward to getting it recorded proper. it'll be comprised of a few newer tracks that we play live, as well as a bunch no one will have heard yet. hopefully we'll crack out one or two of them on the 9th.

tomorrow's brighton show is being rescheduled for march due to unforseen circumstances (not our fault this time though!), but tonite's one at the cocks is most definitely going ahead. georgia asphalt are now playing instead of ragweed so expect nakedness.

feeling good billy-ray!

2011-10-26T06:01:00.000-07:00

just confirmed we're playing a show in december which will feature the first outings of both eat your robot (featuring members of thumpermonkey, todger and godzilla black) and juror no.8 (ex-kiss me! i'm greek). tadpole.

we're also sorting a couple of shows (london and oxford) with kill murray (new band of Aaron from phantom theory and Chris formerly of us, and a billion other rad projects) in january. she's a babe.

PLUS we're planning a mini-tour for easter time. awesome! be sure to hit us up if you fancy having us in yr town for that.

she's a robo-babe!

so we played malcfest out in the deepest darkest depths of kent in september, which was awesome. props to malc and co for putting on such an amazing DIY event. we've been uber-busy writing with tom since his return, but we have managed to squeeze in a few booking before the end of the year, including a couple this coming weekend.

on friday we're playing todger's album launch at the zentih bar in angel (london). i've heard it and it's RAD. on saturday we're making a trip out to kent again (chatham this time) to play a motherboy night with frau pouch. should be a total banger!

don't just book it

2011-08-11T14:00:00.001-07:00

we've started rehearsing with Tom since he returned from his travels and are looking forward to getting enough songs together to record an album very soon.

there's a few weeks before our next show at Malcfest 2011, but we're very much looking forward to it. we're playing the friday, but it goes on for 3 days and is bound to be totally rad!

hopefully in the autumn we'll be cracking out some double drummer action at shows. YES.

love you.

we've had to pull out of another show; this saturday july 2nd at urban bar. you know, the really awesome one with Barberos and stuff. we'll still be appearing at the I Hate the Kids night this wednesday june 29th though. massive apologies to Leon at doubledge scissor, proper lovely lad he is.

2011-06-03T08:01:00.000-07:00

the line-up for the 'doubleedge scissor' night we're playing in july now includes the awesome Barberos from liverpool. in addition to that, the lovely lads at 'i hate the kids' have booked us again (despite cancelling the last two times due to illness) on a show with Great Ancestors, who as you know, are focken awesome too!

yeah we're pretty excited.

malcfest 2011

2011-05-25T01:25:00.001-07:00

we're proud to announce that we've been asked to play Malcfest 2011 on the first weekend of september. Malcfest is a proper DIY music and art festival, this year will be the biggest yet, with around 40 bands playing over 4 days somewhere near charing in kent. more details when we have them.

in other news, we'll be getting some t-shirts screen-printed shortly! quite excited about that. they'll cost yer about a fiver we reckon. they'll be available from our shop and at shows when they're done.

why do they call it a cheese grater when it makes cheese smaller?

2011-05-01T07:30:00.000-07:00

we had banger of an evening last night, Anorak totally slayed, i don't think anyone has ever seen Ed'kowski with a smile across his face for that long. they liked my cooking too, which besides the show was my my main concern. i find cooking for french people slightly nerve-racking, given their reputation as legendary foodies. the food i've been fed in France and such with Silent Front has always been impeccable.

Nitkowski were obviously brutally awesome too, but you already knew that. lovely lads.

we don't have any shows booked now till july now. we're going to concentrate on getting enough material together for our next album in the interim (though that's not to say that we won't take bookings if they come our way of course!). Tom returns in late july, but before we bid farewell to Chris, we'll be sure to have suitabley rad send-off show. we might even try something with two drummers if we're feeling saucy.

wick.

deja vous all over again

2011-04-24T09:33:00.000-07:00

april 30th at zenith bar in angel, londres, catch us with Anorak, all the way from amiens as they close out their european tour. if you like yr botch/converge you'll be down with these lads and no mistake. with the jaw-dropping Nitkowski closing out the night, this one is set to be a bit of a belter.

down with the sickness

2011-04-08T01:23:00.000-07:00

claire has come down with some nasty fever so we unfortunately have to pull out of IHTK this evening. bizarrely, the last time they booked us we cancelled at the last minute due to chris getting a swollen drum gland too.

big apologies to wayne and alex at IHTK. i going to buy them a crapload of beers tonite.

ooo-wa-ah-ah-ah!

we have a few london shows in april. last night we played the old blue last with bullet proof vest and great western. both a good laugh and top lads. plus one of the guitarists from great western looked like the young peter pan from hook. bonus! apparently for our first 3 songs my vocals made me sound like i was in a cavernous cathedral made out of iron, but after the sound lad sorted that out it was all pretty rad.

we're really looking forward to i hate the kids and the victory in dalston on [edit] friday. yokozuna and cutthroat convention are firm faves. don't miss 'em! fat bicth are from brighton, i don't know of them personally, but i do know that IHTK wouldn't book anyone less than awesome, so they should be ace.

the nitkowski show at the end of the month should also be beffin. top french lads anorak will be making their debut appearance in london for that'un. the doods are NAILS if you don't know em. i heard they might be playing hellfest this year with the likes of clutch, the melvins, kyuss lives and electric wizard. the bastards.

in light of myspace becoming effectively unworkable and the demise of our website we have launched this blog job. it'll be the best place to get the most up to date info on our happenings and that, as well as other pointless crap we feel like posting.
