Brighton

I am spinning Italo on Friday at Fitz and have a friend down but he is leaving on Saturday morning, so could possibly be interested but can’t commit.

I’m also playing at the Green Door Store next Thursday before Good Friday - house/techno/disco type stuff, pretty excited but hoping it will stay busy!

Shame about Borderland. I remember it when it was upstairs in the old Jubilee Shopping Centre!

Borderline, even.

In London next Thursday but good luck w/ that Matt! Be good to see you at some stage in the near future if you can't do Sunday anyhow. Are you lot all Sleaford Modding?

Definitely. I will try and come along on Sunday, why is it on so early?

Brighton, I was in you this afternoon. You was lovely! You have the best sounding pebbles anywhere. Every time I see you, you have a little less of the West Pier and it makes me a bit sad. I lust after your 20-hole vegetarian boots so hard. Maybe next time!

Apparently Sleaford Mods has sold out already? WTF?

why is it on so early?

i dunno! i think it's kind of nice myself, but i'm trying to be a daylight hours person at the moment. possibly the antithesis of everything you hold dear, i know i know

you have a little less of the West Pier and it makes me a bit sad

i mostly think it looks really shit now imo, and the sooner it falls down the better really. but every now and then you get a foggy day down there and it looks amazing looming up out of the gloom and its mystery is restored once more

emil.y: did you not get a ticket for SM? can you wangle one somehow?

EATW have surpassed themselves w/ their new stuff imo, been good to see them getting better and better and better

I'm pretty rubbish with getting advance tickets, though we do have tickets for Melt Banana, whenever that is. Not sure who's promoting SM, and I'm not very comfortable pestering for preferential treatment even with good mates, so I guess I've got to abandon that. Pretty sure "you know my brother and we've had a couple of conversations and a general nodding acquaintance" wouldn't really truck with the band, either, heh.

well, if you get desperate i'm prepared to surrender mine cos i feel like they're more your band y'know. just lemme know if you need it

Aw that's nice of you but I'll be okay, I saw them in the Chameleon in Nottingham a while back, which is the proper environment for them, obviously. Besides which, I'm going to be skint as shit by the end of the summer so it's probably a good thing in disguise. Playing in bands costs so much money.

oh well, just say if you change yr mind. you'll have to teach me some nottingham things to shout

I may be too late, but I can’t get through on your mobile - if that ticket is still going spare I would be up for coming along.

cool! i'm watching the marathon to the moment and i'm gonna walk down after that, so should be there at 12:40 ish. see you outside? it's at the hope btw

Sounds good!

Tickets for the Ex are reportedly running low, if anyone hasn't grabbed one.

Got mine the other day after persuasion by Nick.

turns out you didn't miss sleaford mods after all. one of em - possibly jason - went awol in south london and didn't show up

support act was some gurning young chancer from york trying to do a shirtless sleaford mods jr, but just ended up as an unfortunate cross between iggy pop and lee evans

my boring saturday night

hey does anyone else keep seeing ben wheatley aound town? i *think* i've seen him a couple of times now in the past 7 days. unless he has a local lookalike that hangs out in the north laine...

I’m guessing you are back home now?

yeah, came back via the mike chapman gig at the westhill

Ah yeah, I heard that Sleaford Mods got cancelled. Very strange.

Would not recognise Ben Wheatley if he came up to me and said "hi, I'm Ben Wheatley" so I have no idea.

I'm being rubbish and hungover and not shouting at fascists today.

^ this guy, but wearing a black knitted hat and a shabby black coat

have not been actively anti-fascisting either, but have been hoping they all fall down the hole that's opened up in the seafront road, except ideally they would end up in a vat of steaming poo instead of the four tuna war

why is there a nationalist march in brighton of all places

trying to provoke a reaction / start a fight and blame the left for it

which is what usually happens

it has been pissing it down on and off all day, which might make it less of a circus

cold winds blowing on all those bald heads

sounds like the guy from sleaford mods pulled a sicky cos he was too hungover to play

funny cos i never had him down as a workshy gobshite

This video was doing the rounds on Facebook last night.

damn i didn't see that video, fucking pricks the lot of them

dunno if anyone fancies a pint later but if anyone fancies it i'm going to be at the horse & groom in hanover to watch my neighbor sing in his band l3s st00ges, who he tells me are one of brighton's top french iggy covers bands. probably go there for 9ish after laughing at arsenal get beat in the football.

Going to brave the tiny room at Fitzherbert's for the Wharves/Beards show. And it's Craig's birthday! Will probably be out late if you're up for meeting post-gigs?

i might make that! but if not hb cb!

Cheers nb!

French Iggy covers sounds awesome!

hey matt you know about this right?

Hmmmm, I am feeling a little Slinted out these days, but if I feel like it nearer the time (and my contract is extended) I might probably be up for it.

We’re doing our italo night in two weeks (27th) at The Green Door on the off chance…

holy shit you guys:
http://fortprocess.co.uk/

Yeah, I know. It looks so good, but I think I'm going to be too wiped out financially to go.

o no! could probaly get you a tcket if you want to pay us back in the future or somethng?

C has just bought us tickets. It really is too good to miss.

I am going to be away unfortunately, looks really good though.

It's the Fort that counts

Ooooohhhhhhh boooommm.

Can't believe it took me so long to get the Fort Process gag tbh. Even after reading Craig's post.

Hahaha.

Btw, it's our debut single launch on Wednesday if anyone's around/up for it. Don't think I've spammed this thread about it before?
