Mama Shamone – THESE GUYS AREN’T PLAYING LIVE (except one acoustic) EXCEPT AT GLASTO FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR! http://www. myspace. com/mamashamone “Put Mama Shamone on at any venue and they are likely to take the roof off, this was one of the best live shows I’ve seen in years - certainly one of the best in London. In my opinion these guys are destined for greatness, it felt like I was witnessing history being shaped-something was just so right about what they were doing up there.” Vibe Bar
We Yes You No www. myspace. com/weyesyouno “We Yes You No sing about the end of the world, the end of everything. But in an apocalypse that would sound like this I would buy god’s last EP” – Big City Redneck
Language http://www. myspace. com/languageuk “"The verbosity of funk, the poetic twang of intelligent pop. The bridge between Franz Ferdinand and Smashing Pumpkins perhaps" – Bugbear

Hi Laurence, Im in a shiny new band, wideyedorder. We'd love to come play at one of the Woodland evenings. Here's the URL, check us out and see what ya think. Ta, Adrian.
Hey, Laurence. I was wondering if you ever sent the CD, because if you did, I never got it. If not, it's fine. I understand. I was just wondering if it got lost by the postal service.
The new songs you put up a while back are great. Very different from what I expected; but I like them.
