Me and Singer Boy went off on our hols, not together I hasten to add, just in case you're beginning to think we're more than just good friends, full of the joys at the thought of upcoming gigs, then disaster, our biggest gig to date, the Rock and Blues festival got cancelled by the pigs, then Llangollen got called off because of a date mix up, Singer Boy swears it wasn't his fault, as a sort of consolation prize Mick Moonshine booked us at the Sitwell for Saturday, the sound was awful in the first half, this horrible bass feedback kept happening every time I stepped near the mic, Wendy Verbett reckons it's the worst she's ever heard us, but the crowd were loving it, maybe we should sound crap at every gig, some might say we already do. Anyway at half time I changed back to my old effects pedal and twiddled with the EQ on the PA and second half was ok, Ace of Spades went down particularly well.
Guitar Boy has a new hair cut, U2 might have the Edge but we've got the Badger, and now the goverments called off the cull he should be pretty safe.
And finally our long awaited, well long awaited by us anyway, new track is ready for totally free download from our myspace site, get it now.

the World of Verbal Warning 10.07.08
gigs are coming thick and fast now, Mansfield supporters with Attilla, the Sportsman with Fightback, and best of all the Nottingham Beer festival at Nottingham Castle, although it looks like we've lost the Harrington, in spite of Singer Boys best efforts to keep them afloat by spending loads of dosh on booze in there they've gone bankrupt.
For those of you who are long time readers of my blog, err, that's probably about 4 people I reckon, I've finally got a new car, well a second hand new one, so as Guitar Boy reminded me, my mid life crisis is now well and truly in full flow.
We helped the Duke, of Showaddywaddy fame, out last Wednesday when a band booked for MFN let them down at the last minute, so instead of practice we shot off to do a last minute gig, totally unprepared and it showed, hand written set list are no good for Singer Boy we've foundout, he can't read anything less than a font size 20 without his glasses on, and the sound wasn't the best, but hey, we got some brownie points and some advice off a pissed up Duke, Drummer Boy thinks he wants to put us all in long bright coloured jackets and have 2 drummers, so I think we'll pass on that one.
