FUNDON / APPEAL / NEXT GIG

We had a fantastic weekend, playing at both Optimo (Espacio)'s epic anti-royal wedding party on Friday and also down in London at The Camden Crawl. Thank you to everybody who showed up to watch us & gave us such a warm reception, thanks also to all the organisers who treated us perfectly and had us want for nothing. It was so great to see so many good friends and great bands over the weekend too, at both the crawl and at the Night School Japan Tsunami Appeal all-dayer on the Sunday. Wow I think we kinda like London a lot...!! You can read VSO's full personal account of the weekend with pictures in the previous post.

Speaking of the Japan Tsunami Appeal, we're honoured to have a track included on the "APPEAL" compilation tape released by Night School Records. There's another 34(!) amazing bands who have donated tracks to this tape, of which all profits go towards helping the victims of the devastation. Buy a copy immediately here.

Our next show is back on home-soil. On Monday May 16th we're playing with the devastating Italian avant-garde sludge duo OvO. Their albums on the esteemed Loads Records are truly punishing documents of unhinged damaged noise. REALLY excited about this one!! Also on the bill are Gropetown and Hivver, so this is guaranteed to be a ferocious evening, BE PREPARED.
