Lightyear
actually their final show was
an unofficial one in the campsite on the last night of Reading
"5 weeks late"
in comparison to what?
i'd not seen it reported anywhere else and whilst you may have, i'm sure there will be others that find this useful.
grow up.
I remember that!
Kept me awake.
Bastards.
Well
We don't get EVERY press release and there are still people who would want to know this.
If you're not happy with our coverage, then go and read someone else's maybe?
i am SO, SO sorry. in the future i shall just remember to not report on a story that slipped through the net, on the basis that, despite it being a full month before the tour begins, it isn't newsworthy anymore.
incidentally, what dates have sold out? Seetickets have still got tickets for all seven of the shows they are covering, and a couple of them arent even on sale yet are they? so by most of them, you mean two perhaps. if that.
yawn.
ha ha ha
yeah this is old news, but still good news, so everyones a winner baby thats for sure. was listening to call of the weasel clan earlier. nice. and also a pleasant change to see DiS covering something like this.
yup...
i have tickets for brighton and london...its gonna be lush! Random fact of the dasy: Chaz from Lightyear (the singer) now works behind the bar in my local in Brighton (the Prince Albert) and his new band is called Edwards & Hope.
So there we go
chaz (the posh one)
also does sound for capdown
we were doing a spot of emo mocking at a music festival a couple of weeks back, we laughed at this one kid for the usual stupid hair etc, turned out to be lightyears singer very angrily threatening to beat us all up (he was on his own)
hes got a comedy pot-belly now too hoho
Stupid hair?
Erm...Chaz is bald.
yeah
I thought he was bald as well. Still, great news that they are back (for a few gigs) might try and get down to the London one. Apparently Adequate 7 are supporting, and they are funktastic live.
well
i was considering covering HHN stuff, but if this is the reaction its greeted with (you're late/why are you doing this/i want my mum) then is it a surprise that no-one else does?
Adequate Seven are "secret"...
...support. The Steal (ex-Twofold/Captain Everything!/Dave House/etc.) are playing too. Mean Fiddler's going to be fun.
I should be punk rock journo on this site.
I just remembered...
...that Hocking has that position on "lockdown".
