We're the love ska explosion MIRACLE CONCEPTION that happened when five guys, Chaynsaw, Skipper, Bear Slayer, Love Tubes and Skankhammer met the Veitch brothers Joel and Oom Voom of rathergood.com fame. We joined forces, brains and alcoholic tendencies to become a gigantic spurt of beer fueled rock harmony, spreading our anthemic message of love, winning, soup and ninjas. Whether you're man, woman, young, old, here or there, tall or short, good or evil, dead, alive, or somewhere in between, bloody clever or actually quite thick, we've got a song for you. It's called 'the First Drink of the Day' - so crack it, sit back and JOIN US.
hello again sir, I have sent you a message by more conventional means but thought I would drop you a line via this too. We simply must collaborate- not only in terms of making a pretty song (perhaps the animals in ice cream? or an idea of your own choosing- I can rhyme about anything you fancy really) but possibly a gig if you have any on the cards- i rather think that yourselves and my crew 'special school' would sit nicely together. Very much in love with the music on your page- lets lark about together. Prof ps. if you do have any dry cleaning bills from the jizzed pants, just let me know and I'll pay you back. The last thing I want to be responsible for is any unsightly stains. )
I know you probably get this a lot - but you are an awesome band! Been a fan of yours and rathergood for a long time - Joel's style of animation is one of my favourite.
Any chance of adding submarine to itunes sooner or later? It's one of your best songs :)
JOEL VEITCH! You sonofabitch! RAWK ON! BIG BIG BIG fan of rathergood. com from WAAAAY back! YOU ARE A GOD! The MIGHTY Speedo thanks you for the add! Stay SICK! :::TS:::
Hello friends! Its somewhere close to monday morning and I'm topping the night off with the last drink of the night! I love you guys! Can't get enough of you! Please...please...come to California!
I just want you guys to know that while I'm quite drunk on a thursday night I somehow managed to send your songs to my friends and my friends, friends! I love you guys! Please come to California!
Hear ye, hear ye friends. Hope all is well in 7SoL land. Very much hope to cross paths some time very soon - would be fantastic to play another gig together again soon.
If i may shamelessly but kind of proudly alert you to the existence, at long long last, of our sparkling new album. Also, if anyone is free tomorrow, to invivte you to the wonderful Hootanannys in Brixton tomorrow night for a superspecial red stripe awards gig.
ok so I don't know where you got the idea for Soupy George but the upbeat nature of that song and all your other ones just seams to be a breath of fresh air for the stress in the day
A little closer to come then the other fan posting below me; do you/have you considered doing any gigs in the southern cities, Portsmouth, Southampton, Winchester etc? As we have a fledging yet rapidly growing fanbase for ska music of your caliber.
Hey, I've been a fan of rathergood. com since i was 15 and I love Ska! Hurry up and sort some gigs out for the summer. I gotta hankering for some skankering! Ash
Me kids and i have been going to rathergood for years, thanks so much for all the hours of entertainment. Maybe someday I can see you live. Keep it up guys!
I know the new versions of "Love Me Like You Used To" and "Danger of Death" have been up for some time, but I finally gave a good listen and must say well done, fellas! Very rocksome!
i remember this one time, i was listening to music by you. i thought: there arent any bad points, but its chocka with good uns at that point i realised i liked 7 seconds of love.
my life hasnt changed much since then. but still the story was needed. A lot.
when are you guys gigging i lancashire next? i KNOW its lancashire but you should still play there.
if not for you then for me! i mean we've been talking since as long as i can remember....ish
besides me and 2 friends have been planning to go to a nearby gig. that assures 3 people in the audience!
need i say anymore? i think i do.
have you ever played mah-jong? i mean that game isnt too easy, though it isnt too hard. i'd say it was just right. i guess goldilocks bought a copy.
