The Gresham Flyers	Apr 27 2008 5:48 AM We're just giving The Magic Treehouse a long-overdue spin (too busy playing Carried Away recently!), and it's still utterly wonderful - what do you think of it now? There's definitely a lot of Oober-elements in our own album, so we've a lot to thank you for. TGFs xxx

Jay	Feb 23 2008 12:23 PM Hi Sophie & Dan, it was great to see both of you at the christening, I know Natalie was really happy to see you. Found your web site and just thought I'd leave you a quick message to say how impressed I am with your music, I loved it. Not listened to all the albums yet but currently listening to the lost tapes which is another gem. All the best and keep up the great sound.

the 100% unofficial royal vendetta fan space	Jan 7 2008 11:50 AM Hello and welcome from the Royal Vendetta fan space :-) Check out our music player, 10 Royal Vendetta tracks added for your listening pleasure! NEXT GIGS!!!!! 16 Jan 2008 The Northern Monkey - Leeds (with Higher Sights) 25 Jan 2008 Tommy Flynns - CAMDEN, London (supporting THE DAVES) 26 Jan 2008 P.I.E @ The Cardigan Arms - Leeds 28 Feb 2008 Bad Behaviour @ Verve - Leeds 'Royal Vendetta mean business with their rock sound designed to be danced to rather than moshed. A racing 16-beat hi-hat, pounding guitar Riffs and bass lines, menacing synths, a preacher style vocal ala Ian Brown and a copy of Nuts tucked in the back pocket of their jeans. This is music to accompany robbing cars, wandering down dimly lit alleys and lobbing pints of piss all over the opposition' - Leeds Music Scene Royal Vendetta Home Page
