It's been a while........

The last post was in October..so i have a lot to fill you in on!
here goes...
We have had loads of gigs over the festive period and in between. We headlined the arts centre (YAY) and it went really well..twas obese! this aforementioned gig was the gig of the week in the EDP...YEH BABY!
Mike had been working hard in his promotional skills and got us a slot on Radio 1..so tht was good..Vaseline Kid has now been played on Radio 1, the Steve Lamacq show, no less!
Over christmas, Mike went to Plymouth and then Edinburgh (spelling?), and missed us all! ;) Me and Stevie went to New York and bought loads of vinyl. Nathan got a beret for christmas, which makes us all happy, although it is not as good as the Charles and Diana rubix cube that he got last year...
We have written a few new songs, hopefully to be recorded at The Sick Room in February..both of which are being liked by the general public..
New Years Eve was spent Mike-less at the Paris Got Fashion household, and involved dancing, michael jackson, drama, drunks, a 'for sale' estate agents sign that nathan stole from a garden, lovebites, chris in sophies dress, vases, vinyl and a happy resolution.
Mikes new year was cancelled because of the bad weather in Edinburgh.
While me and Stevie were in New York, Nathan, Sophie and Mike went to many good gigs, including a Bracko gig at the Marquee where the cruiser chimps played, and from the mouth of nathan, "were better than really good..they were awesome".
They also went to the allsorted alldayer at the queen charlotte and were photographed by the outline photographer and then were in the outline magazine! The photos are in the january edition and are IMMENSE!
Sophie got an extreme ironing calendar for christmas...its not really as good as it sounds cos although the concept is fun..its not actually that extreme.

We have got a gig in York tommorrow, a gig at The Arts Centre with Howlback Hum on Friday, a gig with Dudley at the queen charlotte on Saturday, and a gig at The Arts Centre with Bracko on monday...so busy busy busy..

oh yeh and because sophie had done no art homework, she told her teacher vaseline kid is a piece of art...and avoided being bollocked, as well as making the brownies a piece of art..:) from the mouth of smack the pony, "making art. making art. making art"

and sophie has tonsillitus and couldn't move her head, and then she kissed me and i got it. so we are playing many gigs when 2 members of the band have tonsillitus. not good.

i promise to keep the blogs regular from now on. i am sorry i am such a failure.
