Just realise I posted that from the Thursdays at 3345 myspace instead of my Lazy Genius one.... like I said, I've not used My Space for this for ages!! :D
Hello mate... sorry I'm only just replying to your comment, I'm not used to people communicating with me via myspace comments... it's usually just e-flyers and plugs that I get being posted!
Sounds like you've been pretty busy yourself! I hope it's all gone well, and that St. Luke's gig sounds great! I'd still love to organise our 'gig/club night'... I'm fairly busy at the moment, but can definitely find the time. If you like I'll lead on it, organise the venue, promo, bookings etc etc and you guys can just play and maybe DJ?
I'll get on it... be good to catch up soon,
cheers, Tom P.S Doing a little Lazy Genius Presents... @ 3345 this Thurs night if you fancy popping down? The sounds might not really be to your taste, but you never know!
next clutter-funkk V PHG gig : sat 25 july Liverpool Peace + Ecology Festival @ st.lukes church grounds, bold st,Lpl. we agree with the festival sentiments, but our set certianly isnt going to be that peaceful...
