Man-made ditch parking

Xmas came and went like a pair of flares in the night. We gathered in the warmth of ruddy faces with woollen neck bandages and frosted finger blood. News reporters blew and blew until things were out of proportion, scaring the shit out of the gogglebox junkies, while a proper disaster smashed it up on the other side of the globe. I came off an icy road and wrote my car off into a ditch. It got pulled out like a loose tooth by a mammoth tractor courtesy of Animator Nick’s pal. See the recovery.

New year normally brings with it a host of promises to oneself… eg. I will eat no more than 1000 calories and endulge in at least one thoughtless act a day. I will not look at domestic animals in that way. I will feel regularly ashamed and begin worship to the god of hyper-vanity and introspection. I will devote myself to junk hoarding and the research of flying insects.

Anyway, musically, work towards Man-made Noise album number 2 has commenced. New songs are being polished in the Sonic Rooms and will be committed to tape some time over the next couple of months. Hopefully the album will be completed for summer time before we embark as a full band on a Japanese tour. Gigs are coming up at The Sesh on 2nd March, The Welly 2nd April (good friday) and a Live session of Radio Humberside’s Raw Talent show 18th April. We also have a gig TBC at Hull University supporting the Sunshine Underground which should be a belter indeed on 18th May.

Baby Tortoise - Not for plectrums

Here are a couple of pics from our journey out to Nottingham last year. Our first proper full band gig. It was super catchin up wi luverly folks. We were kindly put up at Mr Knights and the following day dropped in at Tall Trees where H and Guy, showed us some likkle tortoises…not for making plectrums. Check out the worlds best selection of Tea and coffee. We all bought some but James was a bit disappointed with his choice…he said it was a harsh smoke.
