Do A Marrow On The Tranny
IN SCOTLAND, THE WORD 'TRANNY' HAS TWO MEANINGS. IN THIS POSTING IT MEANS 'RADIO'.
So it has sometimes been said that Paul is the best one. That's why BBC Radio 1 in Scotland have invited him in to co-present a show TONIGHT! WEDNESDAY! AT MIDNIGHT!
Make an uplifting howl and send messages of encouragement as he plays indie rock to insomniacs HERE.
Those of you in Scotland can listen live on an ACTUAL RADIO but if you live elsewhere, you can listen again or what not.
The rest of my band have gone to London. Wish them well, would ya please?
THANKS! BYE! HERE'S ME WITH CHICKEN-IN-A-BASKET SINGER KATE NASH!

1 whole month off!
It's been good having a full month off, although I'm starting to get the rock itch.
John's been working hard at getting better - so we'll be extra rocktagious for you on this European tour. I managed to work up some extreme festive spirit for the first time in years, and Anthony (our label dude) just came through for us, in a big way. YAY!
It's on quite a different scale (I figure Best Before aren't shaking in their boots), but I'm involved with putting out 4 split singles!
So here's a glimpse into the joy of screen printing:
More about those, and a Glasgow launch gig here!
Hope to see you in Europe!
Continental OR United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland OR The Republic of Ireland!
Now... Tell us what you did over Christmas...

2008
In 2008 we:
1. Said goodbye to founding member James Hamilton, who escaped our rocking clutches to give his full-timeness to Electro pumps Errors
2. Said "hello Paul" to new drummer Paul Carlin, who has steadily descended towards the madness and weirdness levels needed to succeed in the position of "dead fast rock n roll drum git"
3. Laughed in the various, hideous faces of various, hideous record labels
4. Signed with Best Before, the most old-skool label on the block
5. Released a slightly dubious record called 'Sissy Hits' on Holy Roar Records
6. Listened back to Sissy Hits and laughed a bunch
7. Went to New York to record 'Hey Everyone!', our debut long playa, which has turned out to be quite a triumph
8. Toured with Foals, Johnny Foreigner and played umpteen gigs with various rock dudes like The Futureheads, Copy Haho, Operator Please and Favours For Sailors
9. Started writing our 2nd long playa album 'Creeps'
10. Sort of
11. Played both The Barrowlands and ABC1, two of the most big biggg places in Glasgow
12. Toured the UK three or four times
13.
... anything else?
