Something For The Weekend…
…no silly, not the Sunday morning cookery and chat show that @mrsthief and I used to spend far too much time watching (but haven’t bothered with since I had an argument with Tim Lovejoy on Twitter about his insane opinion that musicians should just do it for the love and not expect to ever get paid*), but the clever subtitle of a brace of tour dates that Ben Marwood & I are doing over the coming months named after the fact that:
a) due to dayjob time demands we’re only able to gig on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays
and
b) that the entire thing is being sponsored by Durex**
Enough nonsense, here are the dates that I’m involved with:
rOCkTOBER
1 Manchester The Garrett
2 Kidderminster The Swan (Matinée)
7 Bristol The Louisiana
8 Birmingham Bright House
9 House Shows Oxford and Swindon
mOVEMBER

13 Cheltenham Slak
19 Reading Rising Sun Arts Centre
24 Swindon The Vic
DECEMBER

3 York City Screen Basement Bar
4 House Shows Leeds and Huddersfield
I also have a few dates dotted around that Ben can’t make/isn’t allowed to play due to ongoing restraining orders*** but you can/should all come to:
AUGUST
26 Bristol The Louisiana (supporting Planes - a Placebo side project)
SEPTEMBER
24 CHELTENHAM Frogfest @ The Frog & Fiddle

*him blindly not seeing the logic in my counter argument that “ok, footballers enjoy their job so maybe they shouldn’t be paid either”. Tool.
**ok, maybe not - but if they want to pay for all our petrol and food in exchange for us extolling the virtues of safe-shenanigans then that’s fine by me at least.
***as if ;)
