Stenna Stairlift and ting

So i trekked to Wembley today to have a pizza and song writing afternoon with
leigh "B&Q nails" Harrison!
and we actually managed to produce a nice little tune that I've called Stenna Stairlift....i don't think we can stick with that name tho as we'll probably get sued....i wonder if people still have stenna stairlifts...i remember that thora hird used to endorse them...bless her she must be about 150 by now!
anyway the first part of the song is written by leigh and its about a girl and a boy passing each other on an escalator and each one starts imagining a life with the other...it';s kinda like sliding doors but not!....anyway i thought it was a lovely concept so wrote a few more verses and that was that!
we recorded it on garage band but i think its a bit too rough to post but hopefully will have a better demo recording of it soon!
also working on a few more new ones at the moment...we seem to be having a writing frenzy recently...i tell ya if i could spend all day all long eating pizza and writing songs (then recording them on Garage Band) i would be so friggin happY!!
Also there's gonna be an article about us next week in The Times Online music section so I will post post post it up when it's published!
We've also got a real life proper proper manager now...a lovely lady called Julie Bernouis!
So we're very excited about working with her and feeling like a real proper band at last!
She and her friend Jodie have a monthly residency at The Old Blue Last called My Ex Boyfriend's records, and they always have wicked bands on so go go go! the next one is 20th November with Maths Class: www.myspace.com/myexboyfriend

Halloween tomorrow....we're going to Goldsmiths for the No Pain in Pop night...went last year and it was TIGHT so naturally i;m goin again this year! (also I;m too lazy to venture into town and Goldsmiths is just down the road from me!) coupla good bands playing including The XX so i would highly recommend it! www.myspace.com/nopaininpop

peace to greece

stuff stuff stuff stuff and stuff

yep yep yep we've been writing ourselves into a frenzy recently...
i think we all wish we didnt have to work full time and could just spend all day writing songs..
we've managed to finish 2 new songs which we'll be playing for the first time next week at our 6th november gig at the old blue last...



And then the time has almost finally come for us to jet up to manchester for our first gig there at Ladyfest!!! we've been lookin forward to this for aaaaages and there's loads of wicked bands playing so should be a good un! think we'll be taking the video camera for this one to document our adventure on the megabus so should get some interesting footage!!

Next gig...ALL AGES

i love playing all ages gigs! people under 18 just seem so much more enthusiastic at gigs and go for it a lot more!
our next one is Sunday 19th October at Inn on the Green in Ladbrooke grove....i 'm either gonna dress up as a nice cat or maybe a lion tamer....i saw the myspace of this band called Ex lion tamers the other day and i havent listened to their music yet so don't know its any good but their profile photo was wicked!!
anyway heres the flyer for sunday

Sparkle concert and an update

hellllooooooooooo!!!
i haven't written anything in absolutely ages....like about 5 months so thought i'd post a little update..
we played at Astoria 2 on saturday at a concert put on in memory of my friend's little brother Jimmy Mizen who was tragically killed earlier this year...
it was an amazing turn out....the whole place was packed and there was such a good feeling to the night.....all the money from ticket sales is going towards funding for a fleet of buses for the community in south east london that he grew up in...so we were so honoured to be a part of the night!
also it was amazing playing at a venue the size of astoria 2...i remember seeing nine black alps play there about 3 years ago....i used to love them haha!!
here's a photo of us from the night
