Boats. Jealous?

Yes, London may be a small town with not much going for it, but it does have a big lake with boats and shit. We foolishly opted for the impossible-to-control row boat and soon realised our folly. Accordingly we commandeered some much nicer pedalos from some equally as nice Muslim girls (apparently it's called piracy when you take over someone's boat when they don't want you to). Paul was absent for these antics, he was busy having a job and bringing home the bacon, then eating it along with everything else he could get his hands on.
Our sordid rock & roll behaviour led us last night to the pinnacle of debauchery, the infamous rite of passage for budding rock stars; the table quiz. Due to being lots of people, we were split up. Team Jonathan and Alex won. Like, the whole quiz. What?

On the plus side, I (Kyle) have taken over the writing of the blog, presumably because I can spell, but more likely because Jon is lazy.


Aren't we supposed to be a band and doing gigs and stuff?

visitors jobs festivals and ice skating

shit! we found out last night that there's an ice skating rink 10 minutes walk from our place - we love ice skating (well paul doesn't) yaaaaa. yesterday we ended up in Leicester Square where there was some west end festival thing. the car from back to the future was there! we also met some random guy dressed as indiana jones. after that we went to some fucking HUGE hara crshna festival in trafalger square. everyone was dressed in really bright colors and throwing flowers around, it was great! London is fun, it's impossible to get bored - it's also impossible to not be fucking wrecked from walking and tubing and drinking and so on. oh and some of us kind of have jobs now. well. kind of.

after our first summer london gig+ video . .

Maybe ill try to put them up on the right >>>

don't come to our flat, we'll get you drunk!

"they asked for a meter reading so i went to holloway and they gave me absinthe. now i'm drunk and i can't find my way home!" - Previous tenant of our London flat who doesn't want to be named. . . we have really funny pictures of her being drunk. oh man.


we have a gig tonight.

Today...

Your phone's so old they didn't even have eagles back then.

our first gig of the summer.

as a multimedia student, to see a flyer like this makes me cry a bit - but hey! our name is spelled right!

hopefully someone will take some pictures of the gig and we'll put them up!

the longest 10 days ever

these pictures are from our first 10 days in london (from the 5th) and some from barcelona. it's been pretty fun, i don't think we've slept yet really - - we haven't done any gigs yet (first one is thursday) so there's not much band related stuff going on. basically we've been shopping, exploring, drinking, seeing radiohead,eating amazing food, playing with pigeons, kyle has gotten five parking tickets and had his car broken into, i(jonathan) found a bike in barcelona . . . paul starts work in his new job tomorrow while we hand out cv's and wash our clothes. alex wants to buy white pants(trousers). london is a huge place - i think its bigger than cork i'd say . . . very cool.

"aren't i a great person, look at me! i have a fucking bike!" - alex took this down in his phone after i said it so we could remember the momentous sentence.

oh, our fucking washing machine broke and we have to buy a new kettle! also myself and kyle just a had a pretty big fight about a post i was going to put up about his shit balls. but i refrained. Well - - more updates soon! don't be scared to come back!
