thanks for accepting our friend request!! and david, bassists are SOOO the most importand part of the band, waaay better than these "guitarists" you speak of hehe
Ha sorry sugar... will do so immediately sir! Nice work on the schlong album too :) been following them round the south island this week with the christpuncher boys... great fun!! Bandies... hmmmm well check out some of these babies and see who yah like:
erm... thats all i can think of for now... all have a pretty decent cult behind them of differing sorts, so i guess it just depends what crowd you're after... the irish man would pick all... to be sure to be sure
yes will do. im keen to get into the whole going to gigs scene. i have to see joe walsh live too, have been promising to go to one of his gigs for ages.
not bad. Random, i was stealing bands from joe ryan/walsh's page and didnt even realise it was you till the other nite. small world. congrats on the band dealio, colour me impressed.
hey hey... well proposing was difficult with 3 billion kajillion people surrounding us... and unfortunatly all that could come out (even after hours of planning) was "I LOVE YOU!!!".... spoken like a true hormonal star-obsessed 15 year old girl (if only i wasn't lacking an "OMFG")!
However... on hearing this Billy eye-fucked the shit out of me and now im am carrying his glorious seed in my occipital lobe... look me deep in the eyes baby ... you know its true
No soma = bad billy
Overall an amazing experience... wish you were there to slow dance to the britany spears cover with me... that would have be 'perfect'
The writing is constipated at the moment... which is horribly inconvenient! yeh hopefully the boutique should be up and running in a couple of weeks... just sorting a few things out (ANNOYING)! When are you down next?
hey there, band night photos from Rock Camp are going to be deleted soon, so go steal some now while you can (probably will be gone within the next couple of days)
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know it's my 21st next saturday, and we're having a party/gig at the adelaide...if you're free come on down! It's all free and whatnot :~)I'm going to try make it to valve on thurs, should be great!
