hey Matt! Now I'm sure I'm the 14 millionth girl who has contacted you... BUT I have a double agenda! lol of course, I want to tell you how The Pink Spiders truly rock my world with the absolutely impulsive dancy/ technoey charge mixed with just plain old fun rock. BUT, I also would love it if you took a listen to my friends! Pull A Star Trip. They are on my top friends, number 3 or 4. I know you're mega busy, but could you please just give em a listen and tell me what you think??? THANK YOU MATTY<3
Hey, how have you been? I've listened to the new Cheap Shots stuff, and as an old school Pink Spiders fan, I'm pretty impressed :) Any chance of a fun, drunken show in Detroit any time soon? It's been quite a while! :D
hey frictionnn! So I was just at the Beat Kitchen for a few local bands on Sunday for the first time since you played there and on the way there I kept feeling like I was going to a Spider show...er, a Cheap Shots show.
Beat Kitchen is lonely without your face there getting piss drunk and dropping trow on stage to expose your "bird legs" haha.
you've got any plans to return in the near future? :)
