Hello Whew, its been a while. So the first thing to say would be that I hope you're all having a great 2010. After a dramatic 2009 (more of which later...) we took a few weeks out at the beginning of the year but are now back on top of things. Or as on top of things as we normally are at least... As I'm sure many of you are aware, at the moment we're currently on tour with our friends Reel Big Fish and Big D and the Kid's Table across the UK. While the shows have been great, unfortunately with us being …

Howdy! Well, this isn’t the picture of California that I was lead to believe in the movies! It’s cold and raining and grey. But, as I’ve been assured many times over, the weather back in the UK is equally horrific. So I guess we’re square. First things first, the current Big D and the Kid’s Table tour has unfortunately hit a few snags, poor old Big D really aren’t having much good luck at all. The show in Utah had to be cancelled due to complications on the promoters …

Kia Ora! Hey guys, when we sent out news of our new DVD, lots of you read it and then came back to me and said 'this is all well and good Barney, but I'm gonna have to take a look at that shizzle before parting with my hard-earneds for it' and I can't really argue with that. Wariness is the one attribute that separates us from the animals in the jungle so in the spirit of Charles Darwin I present to you a slice of fun-filled reggae rap in the form of 'Monkey See, Monkey Do - Live in Manchester'. Go and …

Hallo! We’re holed up in a hotel room in Amsterdam, spreading Boom and doom all over the globe. Speaking of which, there is a lovely video of us and Random Hand from a Serbian music TV programme HERE but I digress… we’re over here on the mainland for our support tour with the Levellers. All the dates and links are below. LEVELLERS & SONIC BOOM SIX EUROPEAN TOUR 10-11-2009 Tuesday P3, Purmerend, Holland http://www.p3purmurend.nl 11-11-2009 Wednesday Hedon - Zwolle – Holland …

Sweet People. Tomorrow is the last date of the Boom or Bust tour, the last show with Ben C on guitar and vocals and, chances are, the last time any of you buggers are ever going to get to hear the first tune off our first demo played live. Newcastle O2 Academy is the venue and we’ve got a stellar Boom or Bust line-up. As well as the awesomeness of SB6 and the Skints we’ve added an extra two bands to make it a night to remember. First up are THE DIFFERENCE ENGINE an awesome new band featuring …

Ding ding ding! Well ladies and gentleman, it’s getting towards that time. There is only tonight in Peterborough, tomorrow in Sheffield and finally Saturday in Newcastle left of Ben’s tenure with this band. That’s right, the final night of Ben C on guitar and vocals within in the band they call the Boom is this Sunday evening in Newcastle. So let us savour the flavour over these three final gigs and hopefully Newcastle will turn out to be the send off he deserves. There are still …

Hi-De-Hi It’s that time again! Manchester’s Club Academy will have its dance-floor filled with sweaty bodies and merriment will be unconfined. Opening the show will be local legends-in-the-making the John Player Specials and our incomparable touring buddies the Skints will be main support. Doors are at 7:30pm and tickets are available on the door so come on down. To make things extra-special, the show is being filmed for a ‘Boom or Bust Live in Manchester’ DVD so if you want to …

Now then! It’s the London leg of the Boom or Bust tour tonight! The tour has been going swimmingly and the Skints have been kicking out the jams every single night and helping us out during our set. It’s been the best SB6 headline tour to date so it would be great to see you guys out at the daddy of them all, at the London Relentless Garage. Ska-core demons THE APOSTATES will be supporting along with the The Skints so it’s gonna be a good’un. There are still tickets on the door …

Ahoy shipmates There is a time in every band's life when they need to accept the inevitability of progress. And that means accepting that, even though we'd like it if everyone liked to listen to slabs of wax and shiny CDs, some people like to get involved in this downloading lark. And I don't mean robbing the files of some blog in Khatmandu. I mean legally downloading the record, in a fashion that will help your friendly neighbourhood Boomsters to continue to ply their trade. We've dotted the I's and …
