It's a miracle we achieved as much as we did. given the choices we made. If we had 'played the game' so to speak, I have no doubt that we would have certainly amounted to bigger things than we ultimately did. No wonder Jamesy was tearing his hair out. I can't imagine managing Kris, Steven and me being an easy job. When all is said and done, though, we toured as main support to Kaiser Chiefs, The Automatic (aye, when they were a big deal, ken), Noisettes, Good Shoes (see 'The Automatic'), The Rifles, The Pipettes....plus more that I can't remember. We had a debut single that got rave reviews, and an album (that we never completed) that was hotly tipped. We played plumb slots at TiTP, Belladrum, RockNess, and my personal highlight was playing Club NME on a Friday night to a jam-packed Koko in Camden (the very venue where Steve, Kai and I, under considerable influence, decided to form a band. Then Kai went down so we got Kris.) Easy game. In short, I spent my early twenties making ace music around Britan with my two best friends. We made some decisions that most bands would sell their souls for, but we stuck to our principles. I am fiercely proud of what we achieved, and we certainly could have gone onto achieve a bunch more. Thanks for indulging my wee trip down memory lane.
