fudge awards Very nice to be condidered for something even though I doubt we''d win.Theres a lot of good bands in that list and cheers for considring us for voting.

yo yo yo seeing as how the other thread on this has dissapeared into argument! I started a new one.... This Saturday witness the mighty Josephine's last gig the return to the Deen of The Staccato Set the brilliance of Lorenzo Snow Collective oh, and were playing as well!!!yay!!! 4 - 4 bands plus DJs till 3am ----------------------------------------------- were really looking forward to such a good line up and especially since weve wanted to play with both staccatos and josephine for ages.shame its their last gig but wish them all the best in their future projects were playing edinburgh tomorrow(25th) so anyone on these boards who may live there/ have pals there-tell them to come along - TEVIOT, unknown pleasures club night totally free entry - to club and bands - 9.30pm --------------------------------------------- cheers for support again

26th @ Drummonds Were really looking forward to this one, especially as Jim has assured us of a good rider (provided by Aitkens)! Meant to have played with both Josephine and The Staccatos so many times before! It is true about the say our name three times thing although the hug part may be something else depending on which band member arrives in your living room! I once said Staccato three times and came to, heavily sedated in the baker with Mr Jim force-feeding me various pastries, actually wait a minute....

rakes was really suprised he said yes bobb must have been persuasive!ha! he met him when they last played up here and luckily for us he liked our stuff so should be a good nite! weve had a lucky run of supporting bands we really like this year (editors, mystery jets, kooks, yeti)so its good fun and save ticket money!ha!. Although we did support dogs who were pretty bad and thee unstrung(possibly the worst band ive ever seen) so its not all fun but roll on 06 none the less!

i just got the album last week and its really good. my favourite is the last track. our drummer knows the rakes manager and gave him a fone about a week ago to try and grab any support slot going for a local band.totally never thought anything would come of it but sent him a demo none the less. the guy just called him yesterday and df concerts emailed him today to say we can open the night at moshulu.theres the rakes plus touring support and us! i am excited already.

sat 26th nov im not one for bad language, but that gig will be frickin awesome! dang!

solo stuff basically, its a side project and a bit of fun. The little kicks are still in full flow and the guys are supportive and will be ther on saturday. I just thought it would distinguish it a lot more from the kicks by getting other people involved. Toby (guitarist) is on holiday till end of month so we arent playing till November. Perfect time to release a solo ep as I like to be kept busy. Ive been getting asked this a lot so, the ep came from the following... About a year ago i was tweaking some little kicks recordings with a friend at his home studio (adding harmonies, equalizing a wee bit). I decided to demo some new and old songs while i was there as the recording equipment had a really nice sound. We recorded about 8 acoustic demos and added a couple of piano parts and harmonies here and there and the songs grew from that. It really was meant to just be a demo but I really enjoy the recording process and we ended up spending around 6 months on it (we could only do one night a week due to commitments). Most of the songs ended up having harmonies, piano, organ, bass, guitars and various effects on them and the feedback from people who heard it made me think i should put it out. It doesnt sound anything like the little kicks so its a definite side project. I ve been writing songs since i was 17 and i listen to heaps of stuff so sometimes i write a song that is clearly suitable for the kicks and sometimes it would be suitable but maybe better as a solo song. The first song i ever wrote is on the solo ep. Its really just a way of putting some songs out and the little kicks may use them in future but probably rock them up a lot more! i find it hard to describe the ep, i think some parts its influenced by brian wilson, johnny cash , nick drake and things like that! its really chilled out compared to anything else ive ever done so weve thrown a few upbeat covers into the set for saturday to keep it lively! biggest accolade ive had is alan cynic saying he has it in his i-pod! Speaking of whom, im sure it wont be the last time you play the lemon tree.Im really looking forward to your set and the whole night in general, although im somewhat nervous!!!

kitchen cynics well done alan! good interview and i now know a heap of things about your good self that i never knew before! i agree with the guys review of top new cd too! remember kids, come see alan on saturday at lemon tree - 9.30pm!!!
