Four Guys, Some Girls + a Cup. (Hangingbox-London): July 2008

The big city adventures of the Foursome with the Moresome in the last week or so featured more unprecedented amounts of walking, the bare minimum of working, at least one bassist held captive in Ireland and generally lots of looking at stuff. In a break from the norm, Mario Kart fetishist Paul actually did something this week, although when that something involves being felt up by a creepy man in a basement perhaps he would be better off sticking to being sad in his room. Meanwhile, intrepid adventure-seekers Jonathan and Kyle continued the Hangingbox tradition of flirting with new religions by paying a visit London's Scientology centre, returning with a whole new view on life

"they all wore red ties"

Fortunately the pair managed to avoid the ritual brainwashing and quickly made their way to the nearby St. Paul's cathedral, to buy sandwiches.
The Boys in Brown also put in an appearance at the disappointment-fest that was the recent Canada Day celebrations in Trafalgar Square, ostensibly bereft of polar bears, hockey players, maple syrup, or anything remotely Canadian (unless you count the 'Taste of Ontario' stall; I don't).

In a surprising twist, Hangingbox recently justified their status as a band and actually played a gig. The World's End in Camden played host to several hours of sandwiches, culminating in music. Following on from the success of this show, the boys will put on their gigging shoes once more as they entertain the Fiddler's Elbow in Camden on the 12th. 8pm

No more laurel-resting for us!
