Missed you guys yesterday but saw another band which I initially thought was you guys.

yeah thats THE other band in bristol, really enjoyed watching them myself, slightly different set up to us but great all the same 

played 6 gigs this weekend, including this one on small st   loads coming up with st pauls, keynsham music festival, pride, notting hill and the hamswell festival plus loads others, try and catch us if you can, ill try and keep you up to date with it all

thats sad news, thoughts with friends and family 

this saturday 

bumpage 3 weeks to go 

The important and significant aspect of this isn't what actually happened... it's the fact that you were so drunk you have no idea what happened and you were in a situation where you might have got hurt a lot worse or even lost your life and you haven't a clue how you got there and don't really seem to care beyond how you might screw a few quid out the criminal compensation fund and blame everybody else for your broken jaw..seems to me you ought to be thinking a lot differently about how you drink and what effect is has on you..

A fuckin men

The crime of someone knocking me the fuck out and fracturing my jaw in 2 places.

 

want to put on a gig/fund raiser for my samba reggae band, couple of DJs playing funk in between and then our band doing two 30 min sets that sort of thing

where do you think jackers band is 20 strong  

thoughts so far

attic, plantation (though other bands have performed there in the past, we want somewhere a bit more original)


thanks in advance  

Results of A and E was a fractured jaw in 2 places... was operated on this evening, a metal plate in my chin and a couple of screws in my upper and lower gums to sort it back out again. Wack shit!.. im actually writting this from my hospital bed, im hoping i can go home tomorrow though.

When i get back im gunna try a 'crimes claim' worth a shot if i can get a bit of money out of this.

what crime 

nice one 

wow been busy busy busy, just back from another international gig in the wonderful french city of Nantes (lots of invader art to be seen) had an amazing time

good job 

pic from our gig at the love of dub black swan 

who runs the blue mountain now is it still Donald, after contacting them about hiring for my band to practice in during the day   

thats not a scooter  



**EDT**

saying that i would be devastated if someone nicked one of mine, hope he finds it 

quick up date for you on the band 

had a massive gig on the weekend at the black swan with strictly steppas, went down a treat, it went right off in there   
were getting big now and outgrowing our practice space so looking at somewhere bigger over the next couple of weeks, ill let you know when we find somewhere 
heading out to France again this year, the lovely city of Nates, apparently the most liveable city in Europe, for our annual band get together   
notting hill all booked and goin to be another stonker
and obviously loads of local gig around town 

anyone what more info playin or bookin hit me up

help me out jackers   

Get a mate to try and get a reference from them maybe?

yeah this is the road im goin down, cheers 

yeah ive done that but got the old, because of the number of people that applied they dont do individual feed back 

how can i find out if my old job is giving out a shit reference, which i think they are doing, can i ask for the information from the company that has just turned me down via the freedom of information act, i had a wicked interview and was just waiting on references, just been told i didnt get the job , and today they are re advertising the same job,

im fuckin pissed right off


do they have to give me a copy of all information held via the act


help me out jackers   

how good was that 

yeah i was thinking blue mountain/lakota  another club similar size,  though at that time of the day promoters may well be in there setting up, but like you say no cost really just open up and then close once weve finished ,also Malcolm x centre but thats 20 quid an hour    

looking for somewhere for our samba band to practice, currently using factory studio but band is getting big now, so need a space that will cater for a samba band of 20-30 drummers to practice once a week on either a saturday or sunday afternoon and somewhere where we wont upset people with the noise, also has to be free (if possible) or cheap


cheers    

See you there!

 

saw them at bangface and they were fuckn shit. they had this front man who though he was Keith flint or summat. dire

God that was painful. Worst 15 minutes listening experience I have ever had.

yeah ive just been looking at some recent you tube clips today, how sad 

happy mondays are listed as headliners but hey its all about the state back in the day, playing on the sturday night 

lookin forward to this 

Rolf Harris
John Peel

keep up 

thing is, if you go onto the profiles of the people selling this shit then your see most are selling a lot more than just one, your a mug if you even think about buying 

Rolf Harris ..

ha ha, hes attention seeking


god i hope he doesnt follow it through 

playing notting hill with the band
