We are busy buzzy bees making honey with our knees. August is set to be quite a busy month, we're making a video for There Is A Spark which will be screened at the launch party of a new venture called Bovine69 which we will also be playing live at, we have further gigs at The Sanctuary in Burnley and The Live Lounge in Blackburn and we are hoping to get back in the studio for some more recording! Everything is lining up nicely for the gig at the Derby Arms later in the month too, they have a projector which they are letting us use so we are hoping to turn the show into an audio visual feast, not to be missed. We're feeling barons again.

Evening one and all, finished in the studio yesterday just need to add some finishing touches to the track and it'll be ready for consumption! The song is called 'There Is A Spark' and it will be available as a free download from this site very soon, we also did some filming of the day so we'll make that available too as soon as its edited. In loving memory of Rob Green.

Thanks for coming out to the gig last night if you were there, its nice to get that first one out of the way with the new setup and we had a great time! We're going in the studio next Saturday to record a new single so keep your eyes peeled as we will be giving the track away for free right here on this website! We should also be making a short video document of the process which we'll put on here too. We'll keep you posted on any upcoming gigs. Take care x

Its that time again, time for me to post something and reach out to you through my keyboard and into your reading gland. All our tracks are now available for full preview on Last.fm due to them changing their policies and i've also made Like Stars available as a free download (due to us changing our policies!) so get over there and download our asses onto your ipod/iphone/icontemporary-portable-music-device and take us with you on your train/bus journeys! Don't forget, we are playing our comeback gig this Friday coming (4th June) and we're planning to rock like rabid spastics and turn you all into a bunch of twitching, dribbly mongs with our life affirming chops, see gig section for details. If you were offended by the last sentence at all then please report us to the relevant authorities. Dream of great things always. x

We're finally putting on our gigging shoes and going out er... gigging again! Its going to be very exciting with a new set, new drummer, new beards and for Sean its going to be on the night of a brand new age as its his birthday, so if you don't want to come down for the ravishing new tunes then at least come down to give Sean a dead arm or something (after we've played or you may seriously affect his all important special guitar powers). The big day is Friday 4th June and its at The Sanctuary in Burnley, see the gig section for directions. X

I've uploaded some new photos just so you know we are still alive and still have heads and arms and stuff, they won't win any prizes but you get the idea! Things are going very smoothly at the moment and we have some new material to play for you when we see you next, hopefully around May... woo... hoo!

Wow, its been a long time since we have updated the site, in fact it was last decade! We have been very busy behind the scenes trying to recover from upheavals but i am pleased to announce we have a new drummer (well, he's been with us for a few months now) and we are currently rehearsing a new set and new material to be with you around summertime! Our new drummer is called Steven Lockley and we look forward to you meeting him at our next gig.

There is a new video in the video section of a brand new song called 'We Miss Ourselves' recorded at the Press Room a few months ago. Why don't you use your eyes to watch it?

I noticed a bit of an error with the website today that meant the 'Send' button on the Join page was disappearing on some peoples browsers, so i've fixed it now (i think?) so you should be able to sign up to the mailing list. I've also noticed that the entire site looks absolutely gash on Internet Explorer 6 so i'm very sorry to all you users of that particular browser but this is my first website and i designed it all on a mac and i really want to be making music with my time instead so get yourselves Firefox and get with the times!! I can't sort it out because i'm simply not good enough and my mind crumbles at the thought of the task!!

The shop is now active and you can get yourself a copy of our current EP delivered straight to your door with the minimum of effort! Aren't computers brilliant?! The EP is only £2 so your pocket won't even feel it and the payment is made through Paypal so its all safe as houses (you don't even have to create an account, just click 'continue' next to where it says 'Don't have a Paypal account?'). More items will be added to the shop in due course, maybe we'll start selling Lee's toenail clippings or Sean's pocket fluff!

We are currently looking for a drummer, get in touch if you are creative and are serious about playing in a working band. No showboaters or out-and-out skin bashers please!! Must be 20-30, easy going, open to suggestions and available for weekly rehearsals and the odd gig (1 a month?), GSOH, likes dog walking, watching films, eating Italian food, wrestling, the country air, porn, etc. Cheers x
