Hey, was just wondering when you guys are planning on playing gigs again - after Andy's arm is better of course but when do you reckon that will be? Myself and a few others have started putting gigs on in Bristol and it would be cool to get you down here at some point - we're gonna set something up in August and then hopefully something a couple of months after that... let me know if you are interested in playing at all! Just an idea at the moment but it would be cool. Cheers, Oli
i don't know how easy it is to have house shows here. ITS NOT ENGLAND REMEMBERS. our living room would be perfect, but everyone would complain before anyone played any music and the cops would shut it down :[ would it be the 29th you reckon? we can try and see whats available etc... x
aiiight. yeah! that was us. well, deal was that we had been offered a show in aberdeen at the start of june which would mean we wouldn't be able to do a show with citizens etc..., if they came up. we've kinda been holding out on the guy doing that show to reply to our messages but he ain't - so i guess we're not doing it anymore. i know citizens and you guys are doing doing an edinburgh show now and the citizens drummer plays in about 6 bands - so i'm not surprised that they want to call it quits at that!
if you still wanted to come up with hey vampires that might be cool? i need to check that the 29th ain't before my exams - but we might be able to work something out!? that would be super rad.
(the perfect venue has AGAIN closed itself to doing 'heavy' music though - so i'd not sure about a venue. mos def look into that as wel)
