"Like Sauchiehall Street on a Saturday night, but in the Somme!"

How about the timing of that last blog, huh? You try relate a a light hearted tale of boy meets boy, when you're suddenly implicated in some sinister affair. I was going to tell you about the time I tried to buy two cans of medium strength lager from Tesco - I was ID'd and then refused because I don't really carry any - but then I'd probably find out that they've just invaded Denmark. That would be the last time they use my cymbal noises to sell their bleeding horses.

We're currently in the middle of festival season and enjoying it, Roskilde and T in The Park last weekend were really fun. Thanks for everyone who came to see us, we were genuinely surprised by the amount of folks who stopped by to see us and even more surprised that most of them stayed til the end! Really, we appreciate it. Festivals are fun to play because you get to see all these bands for free and even get to see them shoving grub down their necks in the catering tent (I saw Rufus Wainwright hovering around the salad bar at T in the Park). You also get to use the 'nicer' toilets and drink free generic lager. My only gripe with T in the Park is that I didn't see any cast members from River City, I thought I'd be literally bumping into all those Shieldinch guys backstage and I didn't even see Wee Bob's burd.

Anyway, hopefully we'll see some of you at Latitude, Benicassim and Sudoeste.
