NEU! NEU! NEU!

The Manreads shows have been great so far - I'm very excited about this project. Seems weird playing these kind of shows again, something I didn't really see myself doing again. I'm still struggling to get back into punk rock although I have spent a few weeks approaching records I used to love.


Particularly this band, TEN GRAND. Never really paid much attention to the production of this band, it was always about the drums and guitar work that I loved. Listening back to it now, it's surprising how contempory their album sounds today with the whole Shoegaze revival (did it ever really go away though? Let's just say back into the mainstream)


I've been thinking of ideas for the recordings of the Manread EPs. The initial idea is to produce a number of "sides" from a 7" vinyl record but release digitally and get as many people involved as possible. I just hop we're resourceful enough to get away with it.


Lucasse album is finished but Andy's touring the states with Dave House....'nuff said


LIGHTS - vocals are coming in and sounding great. Watch this space


Right, i'm off to carry on training for the Great South Run. When drunken jokes turn bad, seriously! FUCK THAT SHIT!
