The Months Of May and June. A Time to Sweat

Today is May the 17th I believe, which makes it only ten little days untill our next gig, an alternative rock-o-rama at Dexters in Dundee town.
At this gig we are joined by our old gig chums and occasional commrades (their bass player recorded our demos) The Paranoid Monkeys, and one time partners in crime Cardiac.
Listening to The Paranoid Monkeys makes me feel really uncomfortable, in the way that listening to Keane makes you feel all cosy. The good way. The way that bends your mind and makes you forget that your standing in a small room next to a smelly man. They are the best unnoticed band in Scotland, if not the universe.
Having only ever played with Cardiac once my experiences are minimal, but the stand out memory is that they rock like right mad mother lovers, tight, intense and mind blowing.

A few days later (Thursday May 31st) we are off up to our second home, Aberdeen, to play a day time show at The Lemon Tree. The very idea of this is mighty strange, a DAY TIME GIG. Before The kids have finished school, at an hour when it's probably frowned upon to go on stage drunk (this would be anytime if you took the advice of Paulo "Drums" Reilly). Think It's a 1pm kick off and is free entry.

Fifteen whole days later (Friday June 15th) we make the trip back up to Aberdeen to play at Cafe Drummonds as part of an amazing Cover Your Mouth Promotions night, which is headlined by Theoretical Girl and includes much hyped Aberdeen mad heads :( .
Theoretical Girl Featured on the Digital Penetration compalation CD which was released a few months ago, a compalation that is something of a multi-media bible to the "new rave" revolution sweeping this unsuspecting nation. And :( have been in every music magazine and suppliment of any type at least once over the last year, and are always said to be rather special, I hear they have a 7 minute toaster solo in their opening song.

Back in Dundee we play a mini festival thing at Yuppies, whichs takes place over the weekend of the cities blues bonanza in the last days of June, Its sort of an anti-blues event I guess. Not got any info on this yet.

I think thats all we have for now, anything I have forgotten will be on our myspace page, www.myspace.com/thedescartes
