Update

Where have those fun lovin', chihuahua hatin' west coast homeboys gone?

We've been busy gigging over the last month or so. Highlights being a banging show with Outcry Collective in le pub and a not so banging show with Fight Like Apes in Barfly.




We've pretty much got march off and we ARE going to finish recording this month. I don't care what anyone says. So expect a release this month or the next. Merch to come - stickers, shirts. Everything. We'll be like a proper band then! Oh my!

Anyway, June 2nd we're playing with the Outcry boys again and Warship(us) in Le Pub. It's gonna be off the chain. there or square.

Holy shit, it's 2009

Firstly, apologies for the lack of blog content to all three of you who read this. We've been busy as balls through December. We played a couple a gigs since I last updated and they went pretty well - A corker in Le Pub with Newport's finest, Lil Deaths and the tragic Hobgoblin. Now, I'm not one to rag on other bands. I respect anyone with the stones to get up there, but when you go on an hour late to do a 45 minute set, on a 4-band bill, wearing a turquoise sequined stetson and a pair of fucking chinos, you're taking the piss really.*

We were played on Adam Walton's radio wales show twice over christmas. He also out us in in his top music of 2008 or something, Cheers ad, you're a dream. We were also named as one of Therapy?'s favourite demo's of 2008. We don't even know those guys. cool huh?

Anyway, things are on the up. The kennel klub is a stripper pole short of a pimp pad. It's looking fly in there. Myself and J-dog broke her in last week with our first recording experience. Not sure what we're gonna do with it, but we'll have a new Ep or something soon. it might be released or up for download. Watch this space.

More gigs on the myspace come along, take some photos 'cause we have none.


Ciao.

Paul dances with old men.


Fuck man, this old fella was up for it. Throwing his shit down all over the dancefloor. It was like some 2-step ragtime combo that blew my mind. Paul joined him in a heated clash of moves and shakes.

Sadly, it all became a bit too much for the vintage gentleman and he ate it. Paul claims that he tripped over a step. Who can really know what happened that night?
Anyone with further information on the event can contact Crimestoppers UK on 0800 555111.

The Kennel Club lives.

After the untimely demise of our last HQ, we've discovered another. Formally housing an artist, the vibe is good. The location is ideal (essentially the centre of cardiff)and fits us perfectly as well as a there being plenty of room for parties/gigs/seminars/etc.

Artist's impression:


brace yourselves.

Last stop, Blaengarw.

Holy rollins, blaengarw is practically in space. I think we went so far up a valley the air was thinning. I left at 3pm and got there about 6 or so with J-dog and paul. warren rolled up sometime later. Anyway, pre-gig it went from shit to shitty to shittier. No amps, only 4 songs, no monitors and audioslave s/t on repeat.

All things considered, when we played it wasn't so bad at all, nothing like drunk ass 14 year olds knocking back lambrini like it was sunny D. Paul got the 'Evil I', warren said the last band sounded like Taking Back Sunday, much to his approval, and for the purposes of insurance dodging, I was joe's lover for the night. Pitcher or catcher? you decide.

We've actually got a few more gigs lined up now, check the space for deets, good one on dec 5th with a birmingham HC band. should be fun fun fun.

It's like that movie but without Mel Gibson

The latest chapter in the D!CD! saga take us deep into the criminal underbelly of cardiff town. Our HQ has been postponed for this reason -

"Mate i wont be renting out the lock up as im trying to sort 100k ransom out for my father. Sorry its a very bad time for me and my family and i am not conducting any business until i get my father back."

Who the fuck do you have to be to become a victim of dadnapping?




I'll tell you who - a generic asian property lender. Who is he related to? the fucking Corleones?
