Joe Atom

Well? It's only 7.50! Come on! In fact, everyone should persuade one friend to come too

Probably a bit of both.

Happy birthday good sir... and also to Steve Harris if he happens to be browsing... And to me for tomorrow!

Okay, we've a take a few decisions regarding the album. It's going to be a 2-disc opus of 150 30-second songs linked in concept by the popular cartoon 'Clifford the big red dog'. Rass and Erskine will be writing all the songs and our new stage outfits are going to consist of pyjamas and eye-patches, and when we are nearly finished our set an enormous robotic clifford is going to storm the stage and we're going to kill and eat him. All true!

Megalord!

shit that was supposed to be our secret joe....

i was chuffed the atom won that award cos they always give it 200% live...

200% multiplied by 6 members... that's 1200%! Is that really possible? :band:

My main memories:

1. Turning up in my best leather cut-off (it used to be Del Double Jack's so no comments please!) to find everyone in suits, kilts and dresses. What the fuck? When did rock and roll turn into a ceilidh?

2. Being extremely surprised and delighted to win best live act... maybe we'll be better if I ever remember all the words...

3. Hugging Del Franklin in celebration... oops...

HOORAY!!! And may I add HURRAH!!!

We are NOT writing a concept album... (as far as I know anyway, and I've written some of it...)

Is the clock the here to eternity 7 inch vinyl? Cos I've got the vinyl from it but the clock broke off (that's why I was given it)

Is it from mp3? Cos if it is then I don't want it. But if it's not then I do.

I don't have any others yet, been a bit feckin busy to trade recently. But give me 2 weeks, and I'll have millions.

What an awesome gig! A few unexpected surprises in the setlist too... Can't wait til Monday... then Friday again... HOORAY!!

Only bad thing was that my tickets were number 0 and number 1 and the venue people took both fucking parts of the tickets! Bastards. So I got the very first ones, and now no-one will ever believe me

Fair enough.

Rass was going to organise a bus for everyone but that's looking less and less likely... I'll probably be hopping....

Oooh....could i have one too?

Pretty please...!!!!

Probably. But if too many people ask then I'll have to get them to copy off the people who already have, if you see what I mean. Copying Cds seems to eat my life away, and I'm meant to be doing lots of uni work... oops...

Cheers man.

I saw you in HMV at the Metal section (naturally ) on Saturday!

Yet still I know you not. You should have come and introduced yourself! Still you remain just words on a screen to me! Tragic.

Omg you have a copy?! 8o

You even need to ask?! I AM tHE BOOTLEGGING LORD! I tried mastering it the other night cos it's got a bit of distortion on it, but it came out shonky so I'm gonna try again. It'll get there though.

Give me a shout in a couple of weeks mr Mouse, and I'll see what we can organise.

Steady fellows, transferring stuff from MD to CD isn't nearly as quick and easy as you think. Especially if you want to get the best possible sound out of the recording. I will do both yer sets though, but first I'm putting the Thin Lizzy set on CD

I think I might have Double Jack live on Me FM somewhere too, Bob, if you don't have a copy already?

Rock on Gentlemen!

Hmmm... we haven't really had a chance to work on the older stuff too much with Dan yet, but rest assured it will happen! I think we opened a gig with Down a couple of weeks ago, so you should have been there!!

Come to Henry J's on Friday, we'll have probably an hour to fill so you might get all the tunes we haven't yet played with Dan, including Broken Alive, our awesome new(ish) song. And I think we are playing the Moorings on Saturday with 7 Stone Under and Risactonia

Sorry sir, I've been moving house and am no longer online

The desk recording sounded absolutely bollocks so I deleted it The audience recording is ok I think but you'll have to give me a wee while to check it (ahem and find it...)

If you have a video then maybe the sound on that is better anyway? And do you have a MD player, cos I could put it on cd but it's time consuming, and at the moment I'm a fairly busy little elf!

Re: Re: Re: I'm in Love with Black Atom ... :o)

I'm stalking Dan...

Can I help? I can do some Northern England Geordie and Yorkshire type accents, and I'll give most things a bash for a laugh! Are you using the 'Enter Santa' we did last year?

i'm not sure how i knew, or who told me, but i knew that dan was joining atom like 3 or 4 weeks ago.. i thought everyone knew :O

No you didn't, you just want to look cool cos you weren't at the gig!!

Well, maybe you did, these secrets never stay hidden, it's just that no-one ever believes the rumours... it's like Metallica at Download festival all over again

Thanks to everyone who turned up and cheered and chanted last night. It felt like a really special occasion, like the birth of something quite incredible... it really did!! I've been grinning ever since, it's going to be absolutely immense with Dan in the band...

"METAAAAALLL!"
