TOUR REPORT, DAYS ONE TO FIVE: Cardiff: Cinema was great - mormon cartoons and amputee fetishes. We’d like to do a whole tour with a cinema, it’s a great thing. London was intense, like a sunday school for bad children. It sounded good, and Arrows of Love and Catcher Nine were both amazing. Good bands all round - the next night in Leicester we had Produckty and Echolounge, who were both fucking great. I like the intensity of northern accents going on as we crawl further up the country. And i like getting a better collection of CDs for the van, reducing the chances of having Adam’s solitary Love CD forced on us another time.

“Adam, why do you like touring?” “I like having no routine, not knowing what day it is, being out of reality, severing connections with home. But I don’t like how bad my jeans smell, especially after last night in leeds. It was hotter than hell. The shows are getting better every night, more intense. It’s getting less atonal, more c-tonal”

“James, best night so far: discuss” Staying in an abandoned mansion in the midlands for two nights, sleeping a meter apart even though there were 8 bedrooms, because we were scared of ghosts. We went to the bathroom together. We should go back there for eight months and make a terrible prog record. There are a lot of foxes in Leicester.

Best song request was for ‘Bored in Shelton’ - which is a much better tittle for a song. Now we’re driving to Glasgow to play the Stag and Dagger festival - In 4 hours time we play at the Captains Rest. Thanks for coming to watch us anywhere if you have / will.
