blurb
We are delighted to be returning to a stage with The (or Thee) Reverends, a year after we last played the Flapper with them and they toasted Pop Tarts on stage. Truly they are heirs to the venerable estate of brilliant daft lo-fi pop noise chaos. I have seen the future, and it plays its guitar with tropical fruit.

Motorcyclestunts comprise ex-members of Cumulus, who Pete and Stu saw once at the Jug (just before we went to Snobs and they played Lie down and fight, fact fans) and who did a cool hypnotic tuneful groovy sort of thing. The new band is said to veer between heavy and acoustic, and we await their vibrations with interest.

And the Regs...well...we sound loads better since we've been practising twice a week; we've got some new songs and some old songs, and a lot of love. See ya there, beautiful. Sorry – the heat's been getting to me.
