'A big thanks to all who turned up at splinter's gig at The New Roscoe last friday

A big thanks to Sam of the erics who kindly helped us out by standing in for Graham who was away shark diving in Turkey or something. Cheers Sam; even if you did turn up late, skint, and cadged beer all night!'

:-)

.
and we thought it was just with us

-STOP THE BNP-

.

There have been some comments on the BNP post from may, and a strong discussion, have a look if you can, the issue is important

.

It is under the Four Guilty Men post

-CHEERS FOR THE BEERS-

.

a big thanks to everyone who came out at very short notice to support us at our last minute cross keys gig on saturday

.

it was nice to see the Styckleback lads and lasses there , its really nice when other bands make an effort to come to gigs , and even better when they say nice things about it afterwards

.

speaking of making an effort, cheers to the two old guys at the front who managed to make it through the night without the aid of their zimmers ,

its good they do manage to get out now and again

.

so a big cheer to paul and bob

.

we are looking forward to playing their joint birthday do next year, and are already learning a load of glenn miller and nat king cole tunes to take them back to thier wild days as teenagers growing up under the threat off that not very nice austrian decorator chappie

.

oh how they miss the powdered egg

.

and cheers to howard the landlord for the beers at the end of the night

.

.

see you all

-BACK DOOR KEYS-
.

we have (just) sneaked in an extra gig at the cross keys Morley, this sat 10th June
.
black rising had to pull out at the last minute (you know the feeling) and the erics being the decent chaps that we are were only to happy to slide into their still moist slot
.

sam is a bit disappointed though, as he had planned to wash his hair that night, phil and dave have had to cancel their romantic weekend in bognor, and paul has had to put his Everest plans on hold yet again

.

but its well worth it as its always a great night up at the keys, and hopefully we will get a few in , even at this short notice

.

-WHO?-

.

As most of you who know us and visit this site will know, Paul and Sam were brought up on a steady diet of the who, with wont get fooled again being pauls fave song of all time

(the erics version obviously)

.

and its great to get out and see , whats left, of these guys when they do get around again.

but if you don't fancy forking out £40 to stand in the rain at harewood house , a few of us are going down to The New Roscoe next thurs 15th june to see tribute band Who's Who

.

these guys have played all over the world, and the lads at The New Roscoe reckon they are pretty good

after scanning their site I thought you might want to see this quote

.

'Not only does the music contain all of the right ingredients but a closer visual representation would be very hard to find. Even The Who can't manage to resurrect Keith Moon like they have! Drummer, Paul (Moonie) Kemp resembles Keith so much in his looks and playing style that Keith's mother invited him home for tea when they met at a fan club convention!'

.

seven quid advance (not sure about on door)

-MAKE IT A DATE-
.

we are back on the road soon with our first gigs for about a month

.
starting @ the pub where they like their rock rockier than a big rock that has just won first prize in a big massive rocky rock competition....
