Word up.
It's that time of the year again! This coming weekend is the Reading and Leeds festival (thank God we don't have to call it by the name of that dreadful cooking lager anymore...) and, much as we'd like to be coolly nonchalant about the biggest gig we've ever done I have to admit that we're pretty much like kids at Christmas. 'Well looking forward to it' is the phrase that comes to mind. Please note that we'll be onstage at midday and the gates are open to the arena at eleven. Bearing in mind all the times I've been there and there has been a massive queue to get in the arena I must implore that you get your hungover bodies out of your sweaty bags and get to the arena early.
ARENA OPENS AT 11!
BOOM ON AT 12!
It's that simple people.
For one final blow-off of the cobwebs, we're doing a show in Alton on Thursday evening. The Facebook group of this fantastic little concert lives HERE. Gnarly! Please come and make big fun time.
Which brings us nicely to the big announcement! Our October UK tour! We're going to be covering the length and breadth of our beautiful isle with Rebel Alliance labelmates the Skints in tow so it's going to be a stonker. Check the dates below and tell the world. The Boom is coming! The Boom is coming!!
