Tour update Days 2-6!!
Hey guys!!
Sorry for lack of updates on Tour!! We have a day off today so i will update you on all the goings on so far!!
Day 2! We woke up and drove to Bournemouth!! Loving the Great British weather which consisted of Rain and wind!! Sat in wetherspoons all day until the show!! we got to IBar and met the headline band Canada Water! who were real nice guys and waited for the show to start!! As soon as doors opened the place was rammed and we knew tonight was going to be a sick show!! the night consisted of drinking a lot of beer and google earth (searching wolverhampton mostly)! When it was time for our set the walls where dripping with sweat!! played an awesome set and even got the kids to do a wall of death in I'd Give It All!! Overall a sick show and the best of the tour so Far!!
Day 3! We were in Eastbourne and we decided to get up early so we can hit the beach! Again more Rain & Wind, but it was cool and we walked around the pier before meeting up with Duncan from My So Called Life who are on our label! Actually all the bands playing that evening where on Engineer Records! We went back to dunc's and drank a few beers before loading in to the venue!! As the night went on more and more people came thru the door including our Label Boss David Gamage & a reviewer from NME who after the show said that he loved us and we were going places! which we were stoked about! (Lets hope the review is a goodun aye!!) Overall Sick Show!!
Day 4! We were in the island of Sheerness just off Kent!! This place was a ghost town!! I mean nothing! NOT A BEAN!!!!! No Chain Pubs or Nothing!! We got there really early and walked along the beach again another pebal beach! Waited at the venue for like 4 hrs until about 5 then soundchecked and waited to play! the two local bands were hardcore bands and we wondered how we would go down but by the time we played the kids seemed to really get into it!! We also sold quite bit of merch which was awesome!! It was a weird one but a goodun most deffinitely!
Day 5! Camden Barfly! We drove into camden after showering at the services and waited to load in!! The Barfly was a sick venue and the sound guy was hillarious whilst checking the Mic's!! constantly speaking aye aye, ee ee, ah ah for about an hour! We soundchecked and waited upstairs in the dressing room!! Met a great bunch of guys from a band called We Sunk Atlantis! and hung out looking at Chat Roulette! (if you havnt checked that out its basically webcam multi chat to strangers which you can click on to the next person to speak to different people! Mostly dudes wanking off on Camera tho!! Its Fucking Weird!! Played the show went really well we got the kids to do a Human Pyramid and they also danced the Macarena which we were buzzin about!! After the show we headed into soho to a club called punk! Which had a night on called Anthem and it played some ace tunes like TBS, Brand New & Thursday!! After that we went back to my mate ross's house and chilled!
Day 6! We woke up to find that the van had gotten a ticked outside ross's house! so £60 gone from the band fund which was basically all the money we made from the previous night!! Left the house and walked round camden so mark could buy some comics!! we then drove to kingston and waited for the maycomb boys to arrive!! Loaded in, Soundchecked then chilled out until our set!! by time we went on the crowd had thinned out but the people that stayed had a great time and we really enjoyed the show!!
Now we are sat in a services outside of Kingston chillin!! Its our only day off on the tour and we are gonna drive to bath to hang out for the day before our show 2moro in Frome!! All being said every show of Tour has been awesome and we are having a fuckin ace time!! See you all soon!!

Tour Update Day 1: Plymouth!!
Hey!!
So Day 1 of tour started well!!!! NOT!! Picked up my new cab which was ace then we went to PMT to buy some new leads and stuff! Which we got a pretty good discount on so thanks to all the guys at PMT!! Then it started to go down hill!
Driving past worcester i realised that i had forgotten to buy a Capo from PMT so we decided to drive to the nearest music shop which happened to be in Gloucester! This set us back about 45 mins!
Then 30 mins from Plymouth we lost all battery power in the van and it was obvious something was short circuiting from the battery! We had to call the breakdown out and he found out that one of the pipes had coroded away from resting against something HOT!! 10 mins later and some electrical tape and we were back on the road!
We made it to the Venue on time, which was awesome for us as we are late quite abit lol! sound checked and then sat out the long wait til we were on! The bands didnt start till 11:10 so we didnt get to play until 12ish! We played a great set and thanks to all the people that watched and danced! especially the two guys going mental at the back! Thanks for buying a t-shirt dude!!!
Made some new friends with a great band from plymouth called Dead Poets!! If you like Refused check them out http://www.myspace.com/deadpoetsplymouth
After the show and a good few beers we drove to a lay by near exeter and called it a day!!
We are currently sat in Weatherspoons across from the IBAR in Bounemouth where we are playing tonight!! If your coming down then come say hey and party with us!!
Love you all!
Mike, Chris, Binder & Mark!

Tour Day 1 & 2!! London & Ipswich!!
Hey Guys!
so Weve been on tour now for 2 days now and we have a day off so i thought i would update you on the last few days events!
Day 1: London, South of the Border!
Leaving at about 4:45 wasnt the best of starts to the tour as we were already late and on track to hit all the rush our traffic which is exactly what we did!! eventually we arrived in london but to no surprise binders sat nav couldnt find the Venue at this point me, mark & neil had been dying for a piss for about 30 mins! & speed bumps are not a mans best friend when his bladder is full! :( No!!
We managed to find the venue which was conscealed inside a bar under a completely different name! which is always handy for out of town bands to find!! so we set up played the show was a cool little place with a good few people in there which i couldnt help but think were only there to see the last band but what can ya do! we got a good response and so did Maycomb!
The Maycomb boys found us a place to crash at their friend gemma's house which was awesome so we went brought a load of beer and partied up at hers! watching messed up videos on her laptop! (Two guys 1 Horse is not the 1!!)
The kd boys got to sleep in her basement which was awesome loads of matresses and cushions and after a night of Chris's Wet beer farts smelled rather bad! so we got up showered and left for ipswich not before taking a lovely picture of us all at the van! here it is.....
Day 2: Ipswich, The Rose & Crown!
We got to ipswich for about 5 went and met the Maycomb boys in Spoons for some food and a few beers! then headed over to the venue about 6:30!! We set everything up and chilled outside playing abit of footie in the carpark until the show started! we were on 2nd and the room was full of kids going crazy and singing along to all the new tracks which we were buzzing about & played the best we have for awhile! Good times! Maycomb came on after us and as allways played tight as fook! we sold out of all our merch and the album samplers went down a treat with the kids! £1 for the little beggars!
We are getting some new shirts delivered wednesday morning which sucks for 2moro's date in leicester but we will have them for the rest of the tour!The new tee was designed by Mr Will Blood of Chaos Days who will playing the next couple of dates with us which we are buzzin about!
Leicester 2moro night! bring on the party!!
keep checking back for more tour updates and soon a couple of videos!
love
