Etiquette Exeter Style (Day 6)
Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009After a wonderful walk around Exeter we remarked how chilled out this place is and how few arseholes there seems to be in Exeter.
Sure enough, come showtime, they all crawled from beneath their rocks to attend our gig.
Don’t get me wrong, there were a LOT of awesome people there too, presumably, also, having their evening ruined by meat heads.

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009Who’d have thunk it? The best show of the tour, so far, I think, took place in Portsmouth, last night.
The audience were welcoming, warm and responsive, the band played a faultless set, the Black Spiders rocked big time (and later joined us on the bus for drinks) and me ‘n Gav decided to keep growing our beards until the end of the tour. They’re itching like hell but a deal is a deal.

Our monitor man for this evening, Deano.
Norwich, Nice Place, Next! (Day 4)
Monday, September 21st, 2009Sunday night and all is seemingly well in the sleepy hamlet of Norwich, paddling ground for the mighty Nicholas Parsons. We take the stage to rapturous applause and sizeable grins. They like it. Great.
Uh oh, we appear to have a few people who cannot, and dammit will not, grab hold of the concept of this being a performance of our last album, and continue to shout Suckerpunch, throughout the set. For you, my friend, we will not play Suckerpunch at all, even in the second set, where it stands third song in.
Why?

Sunday, September 20th, 2009Kerrang! came to review it, lots of friends came down to hear it, more than 700 advance tickets were sold for it and they even managed to turn off that awful air-con during it.
What? You might be asking yourself.

Gav appears stern as he awaits the falling bricks
through this evening’s volume.
Chutzpah! Tour Merchandise
Saturday, September 19th, 2009Since we got such a fantastic response to the tour merchandise we showcased the other day, we figured we’d give those of you who haven’t been to the gigs yet a sneaky peek at what’s available.
So, without further ado, here it all is:

I customised Ritch’s bass drum today. I’m happy with
the results.
Brighton Rocks (Day 1)
Friday, September 18th, 2009First day of the tour, and I don’t think it could have been any more spectacular.
A delightfully full Concorde 2 watched in joyous rapture as we ploughed through the album from first to last track. The band played incredibly well and the crew performed with military precision, although the man of the match award must surely go out to Shirt, our awesome soundman, who almost ruptured the very grounds of the venue and turned the area into a brand new glory hole.

There will be no backdrop this evening unless you
count a large C2 affair.
