8 years ago today we played a charity show in Hastings and invented the drink, the Fucks Bizz. It's white wine and Fanta.

@gidcoe.bsky.social played "The Ex-Gurlfriend" from our second @marcrileydj.bsky.social 6 Music last night. This photo is from that session when digital photography was in it's infancy. I've zoomed and enhanced as much as I can.

Three more cheers to @gidcoe.bsky.social for playing "Honey" from our 2006 @marcrileydj.bsky.social session last night. We travelled all the way to Manchester, leaving Welsh Wales at 5:30am, to play two songs that last for less than 2 minutes each. Glory days. See below for ticket links...

It’s Freddie Mercury’s birthday AND it’s Bandcamp Friday so why not buy a copy of our “LIVE AT THE BBC” album (featuring a cover of Queen’s “You’re My Best Friend”) from the good people at @precrecs.bsky.social and all the money will go to them?

#OTD in 2001, we did the first of our four John Peel sessions at the Maida Vale studios. We did “Little Girl Blues”, “Chelsea Girl”, “When My Baby Comes” and the freshly written “Just Like Bobby D”

We played Jumpin’ Jacks a few more times after that (including one gig where Becky played drums because George went to Glastonbury) and had a Monday night DJ residency at one point.

It’s now a 90s theme pub. Time eh?

Gee thanks @roughtraderecords.bsky.social I can only presume this Google for "The Loves Love You Album Of The Month" was 13 years in the mail? Or...is AI absolute dogshit?

14 years (and one day) ago we retired but now we’re back and playing @sweepingthenation.bsky.social’s “Leicesterval” weekender on the first of March.

No! YOU brought back a suitcase full of stuff (2000-2009) from your dead parents house and going through every stinking CD-R to see what’s on there.
