The Album SHALL be out in October!!

posted by Joe.

How do? We do good. Sorry about the pictures below. We were all a little Inhebriated. Just as well you were spared the picture of Dave with his hairy arse out! I ended up heading back to Glasgow with Joni (who you can see in the first pic with Kaz) on the last train with a bottle of wine that night. I was great company and fell asleep half way there. I then awoke to Joni trying to wake me up in Glasgow and the conducter shouting for us to get off as the train started pulling away from our platform! Luckily, the driver must have been told there were still people aboard and stopped for us. Cue a messy visit to Subway where I bought a meatball Sub that I ended up wearing.
We then ended up back at Joni's boyfriend's flat (Joni goes out with Greig from Gambas Pil Pil and he and Dan from the band share a flat) where I proceeded to eat a packet of Haribo and fall asleep on the couch with all my clothes on. Woke up in the morning with a helluva sore neck and had a Paisley shower in their bassin before heading straight to work. Rock 'n' Roll.
The Paisley shower leads me nicely in to the next topic! On Sunday night we supported Paolo Nutini (also from Paisley!) at King Tut's. We had a great time despite some technical difficulties, Tony's amp started packing in on the first song for instance, but we managed to pull it off all the same.
Paolo was brilliant and had the crowd eating out the palm of his hand. He's got a great voice. Check out his song Jenny Don't Be Hasty, it's bloody brilliant.
Now that Karina's finished university, we've been doing loads of band work and things are moving really fast. The guys are all getting ready to put the finishing touches on their stuff in the studio and we've planned to have the album out for the start of October. The launch will be supported by a UK tour. All a bit scary, but it will be done!
Really looking forward to the upcoming gigs in Stirling and Aberdeen next weekend too (Friday 23rd at the Tolbooth in Stirling and Cafe Drummond's on the 24th). I'm actually trying to arrange a secret wee gig on the 22nd in Glasgow with the Gambas crew at a new venue! More on this when I have it.
Anyway, thats enough to think of for now! I've still got loads of work to do and THE WORLD CUP IS ON!!!!! WHAT AM I DOING!
See you beauties later, love Joe.
