  1. Hello everyone, here is a new blog i recently put up on our myspace, it's just a wee update on what's been going on.

    Aloha, it's been a while since i've written some words so i thought i'd post a wee blog letting you know what's going on with us!

    Tour is now finished, and i'm slowly but surely getting back to living in the real world. It's very odd being on tour, you start living in a small bubble which evolves around travelodges, service stations, venues, a van, the same 4/5 faces..I like it though.I feel very confused as to what to do with myself when we come off tour, as my routine is completely fucked! I think Duncan our tour manager is getting pretty pissed of with us, we keep calling him on our days off asking him what we are doing that day.......he doesn't have a clue, and why the hell should he? Anyway, i'm meant to be updating you on what's happening with the band, not my life! So, thankyou very much to anyone that watched us, bought our music, checked out our myspace, picked up a flyer, over the course of the February/March tour.

    We recorded our first music video for the next single My Book Laughs. The video was filmed in Sheffield the morning after the Bloodhound Gang gig, so if we look a bit pale and unwell, blame the guinness (it was St Patricks day). It was also freezing that day, remember kids fashion over health.We've seen the rough edit and it's looking really cool. It reminds me of the old "Police" and "Smiths" videos, it was filmed on super 8, so it has a really grainy/vintage look to it. The video will be up on the page really soon, and hopefully it'll be on the telly aswell.

    We're back out for a couple of weeks at the end of April, (We start on the 23rd in Portsmouth) and then we join The Ataris for 3 shows at the start of May. We're really excited about those shows, and hopefully we'll see some familiar faces at the gigs. We'll put the dates up once they are all confirmed.

    Right, i've written enough and there is a great show on tv called "Wedding Belles", written by Irvine Welsh that i'm trying to watch, so i'll get back to using my eyes.

    Take it easy,

    Murray x

    P.S. Forgot to say the single is out on the 28th of April, yowza.

    Also, we've just recorded 3 new songs, so check the page (www.myspace.com/thexcerts) in a couple of days to hear them.

  4. Hey, just to remind you all, our single is out tomorrow and will be avaliable in One Up, it's cheap and lets try and make us Christmas number 1! aye right. Also, we're on the Steve Lamacq show on Radio 1 tomorrow from 9-10pm, playing a couple of songs and doing a wee interview, would be grand if some of you could tune in. A third song will be put up on the radio 1 website for download, so check that out if you like what you hear.

    Take care and hopefully we'll see you at the tunnels on New Years Eve. If anyone wants tickets for that show, contact us on myspace and we'll sort you out.

  6. to be honest, it doesn't come as much of a suprise. They were always moaning in magazines that noone cared for them, and that they weren't making money from what they were doing. Me thinks they wanted a bit of mainstream success but it just didn't happen. Probably because they didn't have any decent hits.

    Love from Brighton.

  7. Hello everyone, as most of you know, we the xcerts are jetting of to Brighton/London to live the dream, and we shalln't be playing Aberdeen for a rather long time. It would be rather nice to see a few faces at this gig. This is the perfect chance for poeple who haven't seen us but want to and for the people that have been there from the start! If we don't tickle your fancy, 2 of Aberdeen's finest bands are playing, reasons are red and right hand left, who are both worth checking out!! Seriously worth checking! If you can't make it, we'll hopefully see you when we're back.
