As some of you may know, despite Rudi Betamax being questioned by the FBI after being mistaken for an axe murderer, Real Shocks eventually got their visas and have jetted off to take part in South By Southwest in Texas. They hope that even if they don't get a big rekord deal with The Man USA they will at least be roughly buggered by a downhome redneck named Randy. My money's on that one.
You can hear how they got on firstly on next Monday's 'Air' on Radio Scotland, where they are interviewed, but also the week after, March 29th, when the band are live in session on the show.

And that is not all oh no that is not all, to quote Dr Seuss.
'Openness Is Dangerousness' is the band's latest 6-track maxi-EP single, due out in the blink of an eyelet (the CDs are sitting in a pile beside me now). CD will be out first, closely followed by a limited edition 12 inch vinyl format with a 'Dirty Hospital Disko Remix' sprawled across the hey side. Lovely.

Then, and then.... yep, finally a debut LP. Look out peoples, lots to come yet.

Hey Wink if yous get in touch with the Shocks it would be great to have a blog of the chaos. Candi skrits pretty well and I'm shure Betamax will have a few wry observations.


Wishem well for me. Spyda

ALSO Paddy,

I dunno if you've heard of Graeme Jamieson, he's a scottish writer who seems to do freelance stuff fro Dazed and Confused, Sunday Times and the like. Young fella... also rather attractive (imho). He was on sat on front of Sextoy and I on our domestic, he knew exactly who we were... spooky.

I think he might be mentioning us in some article in Dazed and Confused and is maybe doing photos out here???

Auch, something like that... just keeping y'all posted.

Sounds so wild but so distant.

like a haunting pipe tune caught on the breeze. Or a J.c.b. trying to shore up river defences in a storm.

Just remember that while abroad you are Ambasseders. Stay safe!

Love Spyd

The Real Shocks were perfect ambassadors here in Austin. Greatest part of my SXSW festival this year!
