   About Sad Shields
In 2007 a circus ringmaster captured three feral children - two from London, one from Portsmouth- and entrapped them in a big top tent for 6 months. During this time he forced them to make fairground music on primitive instruments (drums/keys/guitar), before releasing them back into the wild. Emerging from beneath their matching fringes, the trio decided to unleash what they had learnt on the world, going on to support Los Campesinos!, New Bloods, Lovvers, The Research and Jenny Hoyston. They are about to embark on a tour of the UK with Vile Vile Creatures.

you guys listen to good music.

AVAILABLE NOW:


Yoko Oh No! [floppy disc]



Yoko Oh No! is half of Gay Against You. His floppy disc for us is 2 minutes of electronic dysfunctionality, stopstart beats with distorted vocals and his trademark melodic edge. And bird noises.



Comes in a wraparound sleeve designed by Steve (Chaos vs Cosmos). It's awesome. Limited edition of 50, each hand numbered.



£2 inc P&P HERE.



Or come to one of our shows!
Venom Seeds (R.I.P.)

it's all about physics this trampolining malarky, i weigh more, so i have more force behind me when i ...break their legs...? yes this is how i will endear myslef to a nation and finally get a blue peter badge.
maybe i should keep up with my yo-yo tricks instead
andrew collings





Apr 30 2008 11:32 AM

i fear it may be... yr right it has gone down hill recently and if it hasn't already been taken off air, i fear a 22 year old man competing with 13 year old girls at trampolining might put the final nail in the coffin.

Apr 30 2008 11:21 AM

OH YEAH and as if on cue the profile pic changes.
i was never a big fan of blue peter, but i like their badges.
if only i had been able to trampoline higher than anyone else in bedfordshire, perhaps i would be the proud owner of one such badge *laments*
Attack! Vipers!
