The arrogance and joy in the way they’re doing this. A repellent bunch of duplicitous arseholes. I’ll never vote for this party again. Fuck Labour.

Been writing text in badly ratio’d boxes again. We’ve not been putting footage up during the tour as we’re sick of the app driven promo cycles and want to bring back some magic.

Look this is way Dan…but sadder…
Loved having Dan Le Sac on tour with us this last week but now, alas, our time together is over. The DSM IV are our support for the northern leg of the tour: Sheffield Tuesday, York Wednesday, Carlisle Thursday, Edinburgh Friday and Stockton Saturday. Come see us!

I know. This is not the platform for black square text blocks. But we’re going on tour on Wednesday and I’ve a load of samples to sort and I haven’t packed yet.

You know what doesn’t work on Bluesky? Videos. Videos with text. And swearing. And noise. And ones promoting a music tour. None of that works.

Just hope no one minds that all these flags popping up across the country have all been part of an elaborate marketing campaign for our ten date November tour of venues with a capacities between 100 and 250.

Been audiobooking this as it’s read by Reiner and Tap. If they want to continue with the Tap brand they should make a period piece dramatisation of the book, it’s incredible. The backstorys, how they connect, how they graft to get it made etc all hit better than the sequel.

I’ve had more interaction and engagement on the ol insta with a couple of pictures of old Volvos I took while at SWN in Cardiff than anything else this month. Which tells you a lot about a) our demographic b) our popularity as an experimental noise act.

Sorry to interrupt your arguments. We’re doing a show in an art gallery next week with James Adrian Brown as collab and Oliver Ho playing after. Gonna be mint and if you have a TS postcode it’s only 50p to come. Ok, back to shouting at each other.

We’ve been farting about all over Europe the last couple of weeks and it’s took me away from me real passion - hawking gigs and tours most of you aren’t interested in, (obvs, I’ve seen the sales figures). Anyway. We’re awesome live, you should come see the full shabang as soon as you can.

All this talk of a new party with Jezza and Zarah made me reminisce of the glory days of Twitter, literally days before everything went bad.

Yeyyyyy state controlled entertainment yeyyyyyy.
Love to know the definition of a “high risk” performance. Plus does that therefore make every act that appears on tv now “low risk”?
