Bacon Towers and screaming in the night... Biatch




Has anyone ever woken at 6am to a beaten man screaming in the corner of the room? That happened to me last night.

Truro went off like a bomb with a messy, noisy end. The show was in a bar called The Wig and Pen and it was packed front to back. The audience was definately not the most lively but they were very attentive. We had to tone everything down but the sound was as good as we have had according to Iain and the job was a good'un.

We met some lovely people after the show and went to a party at Miff from Shipwreckeds house. Aptly named Bacon Towers. What followed can be described only as total carnage as boys and girls played the cat and mouse game and one guy tried seducing the room with diva style vocals over Frightened Rabbit tunes. Dirty man. We had drums and piano and guitars and a PA system in the kitchen. Iain drank 3/4 of a bottle of Laphroige, I got an anchor tattoo and Smoke rugby tackled a bollard... twice.

I've put a couple of pics up for you including a poster from Dot to Dot. Tonight we're in St Agnes playing in a tiny wee place called The Tapshouse. Its so small that we cant fit the drums in the room if we want anyone to watch so we are doing a seriously stripped back version with bits of percusion and stuff. Should be fun because we will literally be making iit up as we go.

Not much more really other than did anyone see the video on T4 on Sunday??? On June 1 we are heading to London to film a T4 documentary on Tommy's stuff so hold here for more info.

Lots of love
See you soon
