Band T-Shirt Woes

Our T-shirts, as modelled here by JLJ super-fans Rach and Tonii (in a Martin sandwich), are currently unavailable.

Sorry.

We left our box of merchandise at a gig in Manchester and have been unable to retrieve it. Don't worry, we'll still have plenty of merch for our upcoming gig this Thursday at 53 Degrees but it won't include t-shirts.

Unless, that is, someone finds our box of merch and decides to sell them after the gig, on the floor outside the venue. What do you call those guys? Pavement merchants? Roadside Shirt Vendors? No idea... anyway, our t-shirts just might pass for inexpensive knock-offs that are often sold in this manner. But I don't think we're big enough.

At what stage does a band get to that level of fame? To have entrepreneurial hopefuls make stashes of unofficial merch to sell after the gig?

If someone ever did do that for us, I'd probably pay to get an unofficial t-shirt myself.

Smash and Grab now online!

Just finished mixing our brand new song, Smash and Grab.
This is going to be released on itunes as the b-side to Alibi, out on 16th March.
And it's our first track ever to feature a guitar! We've uploaded the song onto our myspace profile, be sure to let us know what you think.

Been tweeting a lot on twitter lately, initially I set up this account to use to promote the band, but the more I use it the more I realise that twitter doesn't lend itself to relentless online promotion, so it has kind of developed into a more personal account; rather than tweets such as 'check out our new single' or 'buy tickets for our gig' I have been posting things like 'You're never too old to play with Star Wars figures'!

Paul has a twitter too.
