Very last minute, I realise, but… we are playing this Saturday (28th March) as part of an evening’s entertainment at the Hackney Empire where we are appearing alongside new perennial stage buddies Pocus Whiteface. And it’s FREE, FREE, FREE!
Alas, it is not in the actual Theatre bit itself but in the Marie Lloyd Bar where undoubtedly the pre-show drink crowd will be both shocked and appaled at what they’ve walked into. We will aim to please. Orders for sludge metal jams for the interval will be taken at the bar.

“Buttonhead have refined their live act into what closely resembles a burst goat, or the conjunction of mustard and Velcro, and they frequently invite their audiences to spit biscuits and construct large pineapple hammers on stage.”

Just a quick hello regarding our gig last Saturday: it was Trident missile-sized fun. Great standard of bands, good sounding venue, and we got some radio play as a result! We are officially ‘wired-up personality-laced post-hardcore‘.
We’ve all been buzzing after our show at Silver Rocket on Friday night. Its a night we really enjoy anyway, and the standard of bands is very good. Highly recommended.
Big thanks to the rocketfolks for putting us on, and our dedicated crew for showing up. We distributed a load of CD’s (giveaways… thanks to Radiohead for devaluing EVERYTHING last week!*) and received some great feedback. Its really cool to play at a night where the audience are there because of the reputation of the promoters alone. I really enjoyed YouMeTheSwitch (I’m a sucker for instrumental bands despite my shouty nature).
There was a little bit of nakedness, and a lot of masculinity on display during our show. Dan and both wore our lumberjack shirts, of course Vince removed his (although it took him longer than usual….). There might be a trickle of video to follow.
So there’s no current gig plans, but I’m trying to arrange a Brighton gig at the moment as we’ve heard the Freebutt is open again. Yes to sea air, no to having no product to give away any more!!
Adios (Lisa and Michael in particular!).
* We all think this is a good thing… if perhaps a bit of a stunt.
