Hello campers

Lots of news for you, and it's all good, because it's ALL ABOUT US.

GIGS THIS WEEK

We've got quite a busy week coming up, with a mini-tour, albeit only of the East of England:

Wednesday 13th Aug - Interview on ICR FM @ 6pm - listen live at www.icrfm.co.uk
Wednesday 13th Aug - Bury St Edmunds The Gaff (with Thee Vicars & KunK)
Thursday 14th - London 12 Bar Club (with Thee Vicars, Nebraska, KunK & Dexy)
Friday 15th - Cambridge Man on the Moon (with The Hope, Thee Vicars, Nebraska & Dexy)
Saturday 16th - Norwich Queen Charlotte (with KunK)
Sunday 17th - Ipswich Steamboat (all-dayer - TCN onstage 7pm)

LOVE MUSIC HATE RACISM COMPILATION

The Cambridge gig is also the launch party for a new Love Music Hate Racism compilation, entitled "Keep Britain Tidy - A Public Service Announcement With Guitars". It features our song 'TDK 90', plus 22 other bands - full details of the compilation (and why we're involved) are below. Entry to the Cambridge gig includes a free CD, and we'll be giving a few copies away at the other gigs as well. If you can't make it to any of them, you can mail order it from the R*E*P*E*A*T Records website at www.repeatfanzine.co.uk

FREE TEN CITY NATION ALBUM DOWNLOAD

Our 11-track debut album is still (and will always be) available to download completely free from our website at www.TenCityNation.com - if you'd rather own a copy that's real and has nice hand-made artwork, you can mail order copies for only £3 (inc. P&P) from the R*E*P*E*A*T website - www.repeatfanzine.co.uk

We've had some nice things said about the album, which we won't bore
you with here but they're all listed in a hella-pleased-with-ourselves
blog on our MySpace at www.myspace.com/tencitynation

Our single, 'Exhibition Time Again', is also still available on iTunes and contains 2 songs which aren't on the album. If you're a skinflint and don't want to pay 79p each for them, you can download them free off Last.fm as well...

NEW ALBUM!

We'll soon be starting work on our second album; we'll be recording it once again with Sam Marsh, and it'll probably be ready for release at the start of next year. Or maybe the end of this year. Who knows.

That's about it for now - hope to see you soooon.

Cheers!

KEEP BRITAIN TIDY -
A Public Service Announcement With Guitars
featuring
William, We Start Fires, Ten City Nation, Popular Workshop, KunK,
Nebraska, Lily Rae, The Indelicates, Jacob's Mouse, Dexy, MyBroken101,
Tex La Homa, Robert Rorison, Johnny Panic, Bretton, The Shills, Thee
Vicars, Stagecoach, Subliminal Girls, Volunteers, The Hope,
FallingFast, Greg McDonald and Attila The Stockbroker

In
May 2008, close to 70,000 Londoners voted for the British National
Party (BNP) in the London Mayoral Elections, giving the BNP their first
seat on the London Assembly and, with it, the potential to directly
influence the way London is run, and an extra layer to their façade of
respectability. The BNP are a party founded and run as an offshoot from
the neo-Nazi National Front. Their leader, Nick Griffin, is an
outspoken Holocaust-denier who has described Islam as a "wicked and
vicious faith", openly blames Muslim immigrants for the entire
country's drug problems, and has twice been arrested for incitement to
racial hatred. If London (arguably) leads the way, the chances of the
BNP achieving decent electoral results in other parts of the UK
suddenly seem uncomfortably healthy.
"I
am well aware that the orthodox opinion is that six million Jews were
gassed and cremated and turned into lampshades. Orthodox opinion also
once held that the world is flat ... I have reached the conclusion that
the 'extermination' tale is a mixture of Allied wartime propaganda,
extremely profitable lie, and latter witch-hysteria." - Nick Griffin,
leader of the BNP, writing in 1998

In
response to this madness, R>E>P>E>A>T Records has
assembled a 23-track compilation featuring some of the most exciting
new bands in the country (and one or two old favourites) to raise money
and, most importantly, support for Love Music Hate Racism, an
organisation which uses the positive energy of music to fight back
against the racism being pushed by Nazi organisations like the BNP.
KEEP BRITAIN TIDY - A Public Service Announcement With Guitars will be
available on CD from Monday 18th August by mail order from the
R>E>P>E>A>T website - www.repeatfanzine.co.uk - for a
measly £3 (including P&P). Buy it by paypal here www.repeatrecords.co.uk or send cheques (payable to Love Music Hate Racism please) or well secured cash to R*E*P*E*A*T, PO Box 438, Cambridge, CB4 1FX

No-one
involved in this compilation is daft enough to believe that a bunch of
mostly Southern English indie bands can single-handedly wipe out racism
by putting out a CD and playing a few gigs in tiny venues to people who
(largely) agree with what we're saying. That's not the point at all.
What we want is to get people involved, to show them how easy it is to
organise an event, to hand someone a leaflet or a flyer, to let people
know what the BNP's intentions really are. If we can help prevent just
one more person from voting BNP, we can all die just that little bit
happier for knowing that we tried.
