Where the f#@* are you lot from with your hats and your jackets!!?


Yes y'all!

So.... we've just about come round from one helluva weekend.....in Wales?!

We played a couple of dates down there, working our way down to Cardiff for a wicked gig at the Cardiff Arts Institute. However, first night we played in a crazy little place called Welshpool...

Now....you know you're going to be in for an interesting night when someone accosts you in the street by saying "Where the f#@* are you lot from with your hats and your jackets!!?" Needless to say the night would go down in EC history as one of the funniest evenings we've had. After spending most of the evening post-show wandering the streets, being followed by police, looking for somewhere to party we realised that our van with a PS2 and loads of booze was as close as we'd get. We all felt about 15 again, particularly when we then slept 9 people in two rooms at a local bed and breakfast....fully rock and roll! :)

Cardiff was a lot more 'straight forward', big ups to Starving Artists for putting us on, all the staff at CAI for keeping us topped-up with coffee, food, and smiles, and all the beautiful people of Cardiff for coming and showing mad love from the second we hit the stage - Salute!

Also...special shouts to Tim Garrud for mad driving skills and Aidan Shepherd for stepping in on keys!
