it shouldnt be a sad day.. tis my birthday afterall - dont forget about mr lennon.. he got shot on this day too i'll be doing a wee Pantera tribute at the bassment tonight..

ahhaha.. anyway.. we played one of those battle of the bands competitions... the name escapes me.. but im sure there was some murmurings on these boards about it.. but basically.. we had a super time doing those gigs (which included kef and the doghouse the 1st year and then tunnels, carling academy glasgow and mean fiddler london 2nd time around) we made a lot of new friends on the ol' myspace y'know, had stuff in the paper, got some good reviews and advice from people who had never seen us before, sold some stuff etc. etc. and we also got some groovy videos done for us check them out if you've finished arguing - http://www.youtube.com/hotmangu fish even won a new bass at the uk finals... which is always nice :] the whole thing was a nice learning opportunity for everyone which none of us regret for a second now i personally have no interest in estella's classic rock stylings but good luck to them, boys done good

i think my good buddy mick from spacejunk said it best.. it was inspirational my mind was thoroughly expanded on saturday awesome show mastadon didnt sound quite as crisp as tool but they were still shit hot and i bought a groovy t-shirt definitely worth the trip and possibly the best i've ever seen Tool (this being the 4th time..) :]

dont quote me on it.. but my guess would be doors 7.30 samurai fury - 7.45 hot mangu - 8.30 mcqueen - 9.15 electric eel shock - 10 its an excellent lineup imho so just get yo' butts in at 7.30 and enjoy yourselves..

:] i'll third that..

FAT HIPPY RECORDS HALLOWEEN PARTY @ DRUMMONDS with.. KARLOFF HOT MANGU BLACK ATOM CAPTAIN FACE 8pm

Hot Mangu Black Atom Captain Face Karloff Edgar Prais :]

dang does that mean that mine and g.dove's secret plan to steal the old drakes sign is in jepordy? have they started doing anything to it yet?

should be an interesting nights entertainment support from Weapons & Hot Mangu !

the gig was ace! :] most fun i've had at a gig in a long time architects were pretty good - i have their album... which is also quite enjoyable dead men in reno were cool enough - bit samey perhaps no complaints though

you should get sony vegas... premier is too scary for me

electric eel shock @ moshulu (and at the lemon tree) rx bandits @ moshulu cult of luna @ moshulu Hot Mangu album launch @ lemon tree :] and i'm sure i'll add Sikth @ Moshulu in about 9 days..

myself and g.dove (he only had to leave cos he was with me..) got asked to leave a club in barnstaple in devon while on tour we had only been in there for about half an hour but i was feeling pretty rough and decided on a tactical spew to aid the drinking of more beer unfortunately when i finished (quite please with myself) i looked up and the bouncer was standing looking over the cubical.. he was less than impressed and refused to believe my "its not the booze, im just not feeling well story" i think the people from the gig we were with were quite impressed we got thrown out so quickly :] got kicked out of Reilly's cos one of our mates threw up on the floor - we'd smuggled in a crate of beer and made quite a mess too :] jimmy demanded we left the bassment after i spewed on the floor by the pool tables (having consumed 11 jagers and a heap of beer - you can see this in the film we made about that particular evening) i've done much worse things in the past and havent been caught which is always good

i think we should communism a shot whos with me?! :]

Saturday 23rd September @ The Moorings Bar - Vantage Point, SAZ, Blue Speckled Mitz

as long as you have some kind of meat that you can cook and some pasta/rice/noodles and some fresh veg, sauce/soup etc. then just chuck it all together you can go wrong really ...well i guess you could... but anyone with half a brain can make a pasta bake :]

what time would steranko most likely be on? im going to a party up at snafu on saturday but would like to pop down and see them.. :]

i like it muchly :] track 2, 7 and 8 are my favourites at the moment.. SGNL05 has always been the cd i most like listening to the new one is all good tho

after making a few shrewd signings the AUBL Rockets will surely take it all this season.. :]
