Hi, thanks for the comment. To say I like your stuff is an understatement, I love you! I actually meant to ask if there's somewhere I can order a t-shirt? I was so sickened I missed the gig on the 27th, I wanted to go but I couldn't get out of babysitting Hope it went well anyway! The Kinetiks are lovely guys, I met them through Darren (Clarke), I think you've met him? He does sound/techs for bands... <3 xoxo

"Get Go" on my radio show, The British Breakfast on WRIR 97.3FM Richmond, Virginia USA (www.wrir.org) this Saturday between 9-11am my time and 2-4pm UK time.

Honestly, one of the most unique sounds I've heard from this century. Wake up folks. Let's get this group to America!

All The Best,

Thank ME for adding YOU?! Insanity! Thank YOU for adding ME! lmao To allow myself yet another dorky moment *clears throat* I was nervous that you wouldn't.haha I think you're brilliant! Your music is top notch. And further, odd socks is the only song that is able to cheer me every time I'm bummed regardless. So many thanks for that as well. ;D ♥

Hey GPO. Downloaded 'Little Messy' just now. It's my favourite GPO song, I just never knew what it was called. Had a bit of a boogaloo to it there. It's a fine song to bust out the awkward daddy waltz. Free downloads are the way forward : )
