MISTYS BIG ADVENTURE
A glorious 8 piece band from Birmingham in the UK, made up of brothers and sisters and twins and saxophones and trumpets and cute, weird dancers who produce the most uplifting, life affirming tunes you will hear since Louie Armstrong played with the Lovin Spoonful.
Dave from The Zutons loves them, so much so that he invited them on tour, twice and we were invited to support The Magic Numbers, The Guillemots and The Pipettes last year

Know I'm way behind the times... nut just noticed iTune and Amazon.co.uk track listings for "Funny Times" album are all messed up. Title track isn't entitled Funny Times and final track simply called "unknown".

Doesn't affect actually listening to the fab sounds (of course) but still v odd???

Thankyou for Fridays gig. The feeling has just about returned to my feet after dancing like a crazy. Thanks also to The Erotic Volvo-That was possibly the most sensual performance yet!

Hello. Please do delete this comment if you so wish.

We're just making sure that everyone knows that our debut album 'Horses For Courses' is available to buy from our little record label's online shop:

http://www.donttellclare.co.uk/shop.htm

Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.

International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.

Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.

Lots of love
Das Wanderlust

Listening to 'Funny Times' followed by 'Television's People' at 4am is a great way to welcome Sunday!

Can't wait to hear the new stuff. If you're bored point your ear at us... lower your expectations first though...

Cheers. Milgrim. x

Thanks for the BNP blog. it felt good to get my spleen vented. I have some work hung outside in Glastonbury, take a look if your bored enough. Not so much guerilla art, as a hanging monkey. Beats sitting on my-space all day though, apparently.

Ach, really sad I can't make it to your Birmingham gig tonight, it's been too long since I've seen you play. Is it really a year since the Jug of Ale closing-down gig? Anyway, best wishes for tonight and the rest of the tour. Catch you soon!
