So yesterday was a busy one we were up early after a very solid night of boozing with a few of my English friends Ben and Peter....needless to say we felt like shite upon waking up and it was off to the "London Calling" convention to sign boobies...well not really just some promo and shit like that.....then at about 1:30 we headed back to our flat along the way we were informed that 2 bombs had been found in the city and some of the tube lines had been shut down thankfully not ours........we got back to our flat regrouped then me Brian and Lucky took the tube to Kings Cross and then a taxi to pick up a few guitars that we were renting...i got a really nice Gibson Sg...very happy with it and then came all the way back home and once again regrouped packed up all our shit banner and all merch instruments yada yada yada and made our way up to Camden to our Barfly gig...Camden is a very cool place....i guess its almost like a cross between our Kensington Market and Queen west only way way cooler....The Barfly is the place to play in London period! This is were all foriegn bands break from everyones played there The Libertines Beck you name it.....so you can understand i was preety pumped i mean really ive been waiting all my life for this tour to happen and now here i was so there was no way i wasnt going to put every once of passion i had into this show........we loaded in and went for a bite our set time was @ 12midnight...perfect! Went to some cuban place and had a few mohitos and shot the shit did a whole bunch of laughing we were in pretty good spirits nice and loose a few hours earlier we were all tnsed from the days running around...i had a shit fit as i do...so it goes

11:30 we get back to the venue and it is a heaving see of people as a matter of fact it was sold out.......what can i say from here we hit the stage running hard and we literally had people dancing and pumping thier fists from our opener (cacophonic lullaby/never date an actor) we actually do have some footage we wanted to video the whole thing but we couldnt however we did get the first 13 mins of the show which i will try to get on here.....by the end of our set we were sweaty messes and the crowd was screaming for more fists pumping and cheering....i woould say last night was the greatest rock'n'roll night of my life so far it was pure magic!

so pics and vid to follow check out a funny vid we posted from a drunken night on our myspace...careful you might shit yourself
