Howdy folks!

Posted by Karina

Howdy folks! Another fantastic night of tour craziness last night. It rocked! I'm going to bung some pictures from the last two nights up, but at the moment I can't get the files small enough! Aaaarg! Watch this space!

The evening began well when two incredible support acts took to the stage, Ben Blance and John Smith really blew us away. Uber-talented! Johns going to be supporting John Martyn on his next tour, he's well worth a look if you get the chance to go. We played a rather hung over set with a few really peachy mistakes but had a magic time and sound to die for (thanks Andy x). The crowd enjoyed themselves and so did we. We got a really lovely warm response and gave out lots of free C.D's. As with Newcastle the night had barley begun though. We went back to the home of the Flicks how very graciously put us up for the evening (thanks guys, you're legends), and what a home it was! A four story movie set of a home! It was incredible! No...really! These guys have one of the coolest pads I've EVER seen! The house is an old pub and still has some puby features like urinals and a catering sized kitchen. They've set up a practice room in the basement, they have somewhere in the region of ten bedrooms, they are visited by a crazy pirate dude from time to time, the place is full of crazy wonderful corridors and surprises and it even has a cracking purple piano! What more could you ask for eh!? love it, guys, when can we move in?

So, it was in this gigantic pandoras box of a dwelling that we got the party started RIGHT! The guitars were out the folks started singing and the fun times just kept rolling in. Sadly, last night was the last night till Edinburgh (31st) that we're playing with the lovable Flicks, they'll be missed in the meantime...however, the night sparked chat about a possible 'dance off' between our Tony and the Flicks David, Michael Jackson styles. Apparently there's been a previous contest in which David felt he was robbed of his dance floor crown unfairly by a more varied routine from our guitarist. The time has come to reclaim the crown Dave, you know it! Come along to the Leftbank in Edinburgh and join us in a good old laugh as the pair battle it out. Cannie wait!

Woke up this morning and found 'merchandise Matt' (his new title) curled up on the couch, bless him! Matt was only with us for the two dates in England but has become a brother to the O.S possee. Matt we love you! See you in Glasgow?

Due to unforeseen debauchery, Thilo wasn't going to make it to work so we set off around 12 and drove the five and a half hours back to Glasgow. We is proper knackered. Still got lots to do for Dundee tomorrow so better get my groove on. Keep it real, big shout out to the LIVERPOOL MASSIVE...RESPECT!!! xxx
