"...I took her to a supermarket,
I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere,
so it started there.
I said pretend you've got no money,
she just laughed and said,
"Oh you're so funny."
I said "yeah?
Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here.
Are you sure you want to live like common people,
you want to see whatever common people see,
you want to sleep with common people,
you want to sleep with common people,
like me."
But she didn't understand,
she just smiled and held my hand.
Rent a flat above a shop,
cut your hair and get a job.
Smoke some fags and play some pool,
pretend you never went to school.
But still you'll never get it right,
cos when you're laid in bed at night,
watching roaches climb the wall,
if you call your Dad he could stop it all..."
From: "Common People", Pulp, 1995
We have put a new song up for you, it’s only a rough demo which hasn’t really been mixed well and hasn’t been produced but it will give you a taster of what may come next in our next recording sessions which we are trying to set before Christmas.
Enjoy! It’s called 'Stop'. Please tell us what you think.

Hi there - we want to tell you about our new single, debut album and a few important gigs: We release our debut single, a double A sided 7 inch (a limited collector's edition vinyl): "The Contessa" / "Snake Charmer" to coincide with our special celebration / launch gig in central London for our debut album "SIX AGAINST EIGHT" (the album should be out in October).
The single will also be available as downloads from all the usual on-line stores. But the vinyl is available from September 26th.
Our live London appearance on SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 26 is a deluxe one-off show featuring special guests at Crossfire 14 (after the band's appearance there is a cool all-nighter featuring the cream of DJ talent from across Europe spinning the hippest underground 60s music) held at 229 The Venue (Great Portland Street, opposite Regent's Park).
Please let us know asap if you want some tickets:

Si, è quella la cosa che mi fa più incavolare, aver aspettato tanto per vederli e 1 giorno prima fanno i BAMBINI, litigano e deludono centinaia di persone...non è modo di fare! Siamo andati giusto perchè avevamo pagato e del rimborso non se ne parlava (avrei da discutere anche su questo ma vabbè..), i gruppi non erano male poverini, ci hanno messo il loro, ma si sentiva troppo il "buco-Oasis"! Già...speriamo in bene in altri bei concerti...al massimo vado a rivedere i Placebo a milano che a Verona sono stati divini!!
