alcxxk [Edit] [Delete] 149 replies 14:17 March 13th, 2013

Hello

My band Her Parents has a new album out in May. It's called Happy Birthday. We're releasing it on one side of vinyl, with the last album, Physical Release, on the other side. You can hear the last album here: http://herparents.bandcamp.com.

The first video from the new album just went online, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvdRm0_og5Q

You can buy the ltd ed (50 copies, each uniquely hand decorated/scrawled on by idiots) CD single of this, with a Scratch Acid cover as track 2, from alcopop! records, here: http://ilovealcopop.bigcartel.com/product/her-parents-why-don-t-you-just-fuck-off-1p-single

For fans of: Jesus Lizard, Pissed Jeans, Void, Cardiacs, Scratch Acid, Mclusky, Minutemen, Dananananaykroyd, Stairs To Korea, Internet Forever

We're doing a UK tour in May, as well as some other dates, which we at various points be on our website, www.herparents.co.uk

  Also I just looked at your Facebook page and one of you sang Gary Puckett & The Union Gap at ATP. I said well done afterwards. Was that you alcxxk? </stalker>

    Poino's drummer is a bit good and I thought they were overall pretty brilliant. Her Parents were rowdy fun times and Divorce were absolutely devastating particularly the last track they played.

      http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/musicians/144171
      His other band is The Display Team who, despite being describable as ska punk, are absolutely one of the most amazing live bands i've seen recently.
      He also depped in Down I Go for a while, and they were just the best

        All housemates are currently planning on being in that night.
        
        So there'll be at least 2 couches and a double sofa bed. Actually one might be away but not sure yet, he'd be cool with people sleeping in his bed though.
        
        Then possibly my bed if I get a really hot girlfriend before then (CWBAFT).

  - I went to school with Oxygen Thief.
    
    I'm willing to accept that that's not really relevant to the thread.

- can you not get a Leeds or Sheffield date in there for the 27th?
  
  Body_In_The_Thames @alcxxk | 24 Apr '13, 09:46 | X | ^ This | Reply
  - everyone in leeds is either going to see Fucked Up and Titus Andronicus that night
    
    or is at Primavera.
    
    REALLY want to play in the north east that night, newcastle or sunderland, but have contacted /so/ many promoters there. it's the day Frankie And The Heartstrings are releasing their new album, so that's a load of options in Sunderland taken out, and have heard from Newcastle promoters who are actually going to go to Leeds that night themselves.
    
    haven't really looked at sheffield too much, will contact the guys who last put IF on there actually, good thinkin'

I'm actually playing a gig with my folk band around the corner at passing clouds on sunday as well, so that's nice.

Great

will give it a listen tonight. The one thing that is stopping me from ordering is that cover art. I know it's probably intentionally ironically bad, but I just don't want to be flicking through my records and have to look at it.

- you can flip the record round and have a picture of a tiger instead if you like???
  
  also happy to provide you with a version with the face blacked out in tape and a picture of a kitten selotaped on, at your discretion xx

NEWS UPDATE: London band "Her Parents" force a much-loved 71yr old man to retire from his job managing Manchester United after he finally gets round to listening to a month-old withering punk rock dismissal of his transfer policy and anti-holding midfielder pronouncements. Coming soon: do YOU drive a Lithuanian Mercedes? WATCH OUT!

This is officially out today

it's on spotify here:
http://t.co/ZsnTmVfIOP
apparently every track is "explicit" apart from the one i wrote about
that artist who bought a horse and cut it up and frolicked in it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKLzGtSj72c

you'll be able to buy it digitally from next week or something
LPs were sliiiiiiiiightly delayed at the pressing plant (i know this ALWAYS happens for small releases, but seriously, we gave them 8 weeks!) and we're getting them today so preorderers should have them say thursday or friday?

- good luck with this dude
  
  unfortunately I don't think I'm gonna be able to do that special podcast for your multiheaded tour thing - at least probably not in time for the tour - 'cos I'm rather stuck in the sick house innit
  
  but again
  
  Massive heaps of luck with it all
