- Pete is in Tipler’s little room trying to achieve ‘interesting’ guitar feedback. It’s harder than it sounds #
- @Mybshwll Re press packs: you have our sympathy. We’ve done it too many times and will have to do it too many times more… in reply to Mybshwll #
- @Swound Hope for your sake your new song sounds like Music For The People era Marky Mark. Their second album was a piece of crap in reply to Swound #
- Pete’s being worked hard today. He’s currently in the vocal room having to sing a castrato harmony, which he may be too much of a man to hit #

- Conversation so far in rehearsal today has covered Lewis Hamilton, album artwork, Alan Shearer & what the dials on our amps actually do. #

- Spotify link of the day - http://tinyurl.com/dch88c - ‘on my own, here we go!’ What a blinking tune #
- Hammering out the detail in some songs at rehearsal. It’s like a scene from Some Kind of Monster but without the swearing and repressed rage #
- Unloading the van for our gig at Leicester Sumo tonight. Too many stairs #
- Pete, John and Matt would also like to point out that Ben was meeting them at Sumo but was ‘late’, thus missing the aforementioned stairs #
- Last night’s gig was ace. Getting up at 6am to drive to studio wasn’t. Urgh #
- In studio - have now gone 8 hours without seeing natural light. Madness is setting in #
- @Mybshwll hello! in reply to Mybshwll #
- Ben just served tea and biscuits and is now writing about it on Twitter. Geek. #
All Sparks Disco Partied!
March 29th, 2009 by ben
Thanks to everyone who made it down to Sumo in Leicester on Friday night for the Disco Party with All Sparks - as ever, we massively appreciate it (especially the dancers down the front).
We had a great time as always - All Sparks proved themselves once again to be one of Leicester’s best promoters and Spokes - headliners from Manchester) were superb. Very friendly too, even if they did drink all the beer. But they were lovely people so we didn’t hold it against them. They also had a much longer drive home than we did.
That was our last gig for about 6 weeks as we turn our attention again to recording a couple of singles and the album that will follow them. The songs are starting to take shape, which is gratifying - still loads to do though. Good job it’s fun.
