I know, get us! It is a bit of an experiment. We did them once before and they had a really big impact so we will see if it is worth it again. It isn't too expensive actually if you ever think about it. Maybe see you at the August one? Will have to get back to Pin up nights again too!x
The Retrosexuals are going to be playing at the T-Break showcase gig at King Tuts - Glasgow on the 14th May 08. If you would like to come along and support us we are giving away FREE tickets for the night (over 18's only i'm afraid).
Just reply to this with your name and address, how many you'd like and we'll post them out.
