Bruce Fyfe	Jun 29 2008 4:08 PM Great gig on Sunday. Hope you make it back to Glasgow again soon. I'll put some photo's on the Facebook page later in the week.
Squares	Jun 25 2008 3:09 PM Good acting in The Week That Was video. My girlfriend's computer doesn't have sound so I had to imagine the song as I watched.

fakeindielabel	Jun 16 2008 4:10 AM FIL096: ELKS @ NEWCASTLE ARTS CENTRE - MONDAY 16 JUNE Described by Hydragenic as 'a subtle, widescreen sountrack for the bitter break-up of a relationship', London's Elks are unclassifiable in their unconventional brilliance, a band always evolving, taking chances and refusing to sit still. Following a successful string of European shows, the band are coming to Newcastle tonight, Monday 16 June. Also on the bill are Spraydog, Italy's Three In One Gentlemans Suit, and The Black Static of Summer. This one is at the Newcastle Arts Centre, entry is £4 and doors are at 8pm. fakeindielabel. co. uk/fil096 for more info. ------------------------------------ FIL097: THESE UNITED STATES @ HEAD OF STEAM - SUNDAY 22 JUNE These United States/Vandaveer was one of our favourite shows of the year in 2007, so we're super happy to announce that they're both making a return to The Head of Steam, Newcastle on Sunday 22 June. This Washington DC outfit serve up country-tinged folk sautéed in electronic seasoning; along with artier neighbours Le Loup and Exit Clov, These United States offer melodic and amusing ideas to the post-Fugazi landscape, but they're still tied to thoughtful ones-in this case, mostly protesting heartless romantic antics - Village Voice. A co-promotion with our friends Ex-Libris Records, the bill also features John Egdell and Aaron McMullan. Doors are 8pm and entry is £4. fakeindielabel. co. uk/fil097 for more info.

Tincho Loro	May 20 2008 9:14 AM Was lucky enough to see you at the Merucry Lounge in NYC a few years back with Field Music. Congrats on the latest work, man. Outstanding as always, really. And do us a favor and make it Argentina. Our 'Schools of Language' are weak as hell.

Anansi	May 19 2008 1:28 AM David, you really are a phenomenal drummer! I've really enjoyed both The Week That Was gigs up here, i'm not sure how you do it, although i think i heard Peter say something about 'Octo-drum' at the white rooms... Oh, and i enjoyed the very subtle School Of Language 'interlude' last night.
