The week's build up to Tommy Flynn's

25th June 2008

Just heard Seasick Steve on the Colin Murray show coming home from rehearsal in Dan's motor. The guy blew us away, Real dark shit and man can he play slide or what. If you ain't heard of him, check him out, there's some good stuff on Youtube especially the stuff he did on Jules Holland.

Got this new song. It's fucking amazing, trouble is we just can't seem to figure it out in rehearsals; something's just not gelling with it. The melodies are amazing so there’s no doubt it'll be in the set in a few weeks but its' just so frustrating when a song is limbo like this one. Bit of the old Russian Vodka tonight at rehearsal to help us find a new perspective I reckon.

It's Tommy Flynn's this Thursday and I can't wait. I'm really buying into this whole residency idea. At the beginning I thought it was just gonna be a series of gigs that had pretty much no relation to one another but people are really getting into it and seeing it as more than that. People have been calling us and e-mailing all week saying they're coming so it looks like the venue is gonna be packed which helps, just hope they’ve all remembered their twisting boots.
