As I'm promoting the Dundee gig, I emailed Distophia a week ago about getting a press pack and some music off them to help with promotion but as yet have heard nothing from them...if anyone from the band would like to get in touch that'd be an idea ;) Otherwise it'll be a Fickle Public only affair.

Re: Distophia and Fickle Public go head-to-head

Keiron is a dude. I met him at a Jetplane gig in Oxford, he was telling me stories about how the two places he'd go to gigs were Oxford and Exeter, cause they were the only places he could easily get to, the mad bastard ;)

Re: Distophia and Fickle Public go head-to-head

Have to agree - those demo tracks aren't the best, but the stuff that I've heard from them recently [from the Tour EP2] is great stuff.
