“What a gig. Catch them, buy something, just make sure they keep going. We need noise like this.”

The arrogance and joy in the way they’re doing this. A repellent bunch of duplicitous arseholes. I’ll never vote for this party again. Fuck Labour.

Been writing text in badly ratio’d boxes again. We’ve not been putting footage up during the tour as we’re sick of the app driven promo cycles and want to bring back some magic.

Look this is way Dan…but sadder…
Loved having Dan Le Sac on tour with us this last week but now, alas, our time together is over. The DSM IV are our support for the northern leg of the tour: Sheffield Tuesday, York Wednesday, Carlisle Thursday, Edinburgh Friday and Stockton Saturday. Come see us!

Early one tonight in London. Dan Le Sac 730pm, Benefits 815pm at Lower Third Soho. NEARLY sold out, go on, come down.

I'm literally just going to stand here... Then I'm going to stand here... Well done. That's it. Ipswich tonight at the Smokehouse. Sold out.

I know. This is not the platform for black square text blocks. But we’re going on tour on Wednesday and I’ve a load of samples to sort and I haven’t packed yet.

You know what doesn’t work on Bluesky? Videos. Videos with text. And swearing. And noise. And ones promoting a music tour. None of that works.

Made some old school panini style stickers of the band and tour collaborators for the November merch desk. Come to a gig and get em!

Great piece in @mixmag.net about Boro’s very own Industrial Coast.

Just hope no one minds that all these flags popping up across the country have all been part of an elaborate marketing campaign for our ten date November tour of venues with a capacities between 100 and 250.

Been audiobooking this as it’s read by Reiner and Tap. If they want to continue with the Tap brand they should make a period piece dramatisation of the book, it’s incredible. The backstorys, how they connect, how they graft to get it made etc all hit better than the sequel.

All these tatty flags gonna just stay there are they? Council just gonna leave them and act like it’s totally normal?

I’ve had more interaction and engagement on the ol insta with a couple of pictures of old Volvos I took while at SWN in Cardiff than anything else this month. Which tells you a lot about a) our demographic b) our popularity as an experimental noise act.
