pfffft
jetplane landing once did a longer tour than that of just the UK and it was in a shorter time
;o)
Did they play in Herefordshire and Cornwall on the same day?!
I'm convinced that's a typo, though...but perhaps not.
i'm going to pretend that
the names of both those festivals are typos.
They are also playing...
Bedford Esquires on the 27th August.
Reading Festival warm up, innit.
SHIT.
So they are. I did see that on the MySpace when looking through. Oh, Esquires, how I miss you. I'll go back one day, I'm sure.
Added it, anyway.
erm...
don't think the albums sposed to look inverted like that actually...
Quite right. I have no idea what made it come out like that. I think the image was fucked somehow...
...as it wouldn't load up in the first place.
looks alright now...
carry on.
