Day 4 – 14:57pm

Waking up and wondering how the fuck I spent £130 yesterday?

Might check more pockets.

All I have to show for it is 5 unbroken eggs.

Found out if you open your palm and put an egg in it sideways you can squeeze as hard as you like and it won’t break

I had to buy some and try it.

We all tried it.

it actually fuckin works.

Try it.

News from Brighton...

we played with a band called Arkland - a proper nice bunch, and all their friends too.

did the scariest fairground ride ever

now I wanna go again

Lyndsey won 2p on the penny waterfalls.

I did a bucking bronco that span more than it bucked. found muscles I never knew existed

The Rapture came and went, and noone I know got beamed up,

so the party goes on….

actually goes on tonight at Heroes in Kentish Town

we’re playing with some of our favourite bands we know.

if you want a good time, for free, with free food, and you're not a cunt, then come down x

Tour Day 2 of 10 – 4:56am

Long day

Just got in.

Everyone was asleep in the van when I was dropped off.

I’m writing a song that’s floating round my head.

So I’m awake.

Portsmouth was fun.

Radio session was fun.

Lyndsey was uncomfortable in her trousers so borrowed a pair of Alex’s boxers.

we walked into the radio station with her dressed like an 8-year old from the waist down, and the evil guy in Highlander from the waist up.

Was a good look for radio.

Promoters at the venue were awesome.

Gig was heavy.

Broke my guitar.

Made some friends.

Drank too much.

Beat Alex twice at Pool.

Nothing left to report

Tour Day 1 of 10 – 2:16am

So we played with Victorian English Gentleman’s Club tonight at Barfly.

They are fucking good.

if you get a chance go see them on one of their dates this week.

we were lucky we made the gig tho.

spent 4 and a half hours getting back from a radio session in Brighton.

got to the venue 5 minutes before going on stage

worst moment of the day was after 4 hours driving…

we stopped to pick up guitars and amps at my house,

Lyndsey threw the car keys at me,

they went through my hands,

bounced off my body,

assumed slow motion,

and neatly fell down a drain next to the gutter.

It was stunning.

We’d just locked all the equipment in the boot too.

Locked stock and 2 smoking idiots.

luckily it was only 1 metre deep.

coat hanger fishing skills saved the day.

Any deeper and the first day of our tour would have been shit

Weird random thing of the day was getting told our single is going to be backing track to the week’s goal scoring montage on Soccer AM on Sky Sports Saturday morning.

wasn’t expecting that one.

None of us are very good at football.

Actually that’s a lie.

I’m fucking Ace.

Tour Day 1 of 10 – 11.51am

Slept terribly.

Open window, neighbourhood sounds, and one of those nights where you know you got to be up early so you keep waking up every 20 minutes.

I feel like shit.

WE got to go to Brighton to do a radio interview and session before coming back to play London tonight.

Lyndsey’s 2 hours late.

Walked into garden barefoot and trod on a snail.
