Planet Beet is back!! Thats the best Bury news i've heard since 'FOPP' opened up in the Cornhill! You know i'm always up for dates if you ever need to fill some 'acoustic set' sized holes in a line up :0) We need to jam dude, give me some dates!
Cheers man, nah I'm not in a band. Just love my music and a few of my mates play guitar so I know stuff about them. But I'm getting a guitar for xmas....better late than never I guess. Looks like I'll get cheap strat, a big muff and a crybaby classic wah to start with and a small valve amp. There are so many wah's not sure which to get. Then I'll just have to learn how to play! Been listening to Dinosaur Jr all afternoon J Mascis is a genius!! I'll take a listen to the MP3's cool.
Great news- we've nearly sold out the Boxford Fleece gig this Satuurday, and there's only ten tickets left!!! Its gonna be a great night- see ya there!!
