PRESSING

HI

WE'RE DOING PRESS JUST NOW FOR OUR FORTHCOMING DEBUT ALBUM - THE GIGANTIC AND LOUD "HELLO" TO THE WORLD THAT IS 'HEY EVERYONE' - AND WE HAVE TO TALK TO ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT INERVIEWERS. YES, FROM THE BEHIND THE CAMERA INTERVIEWER WHO ASKS YOU TO ANSWER IN A WAY THAT REPEATS THE QUESTION SO THAT IT MAKES SENSE WHEN HE EDITS HIMSELF OUT, TO THE COCKY, UNPREPARED "PERSONALITY" WHO LAUGHS WHEN HE CAN'T SAY YOUR NAME AND MAKES ONE OF THE BAND DO THE FILMING SO THAT HE CAN BE IN SHOT INSTEAD, IT'S ALL GO IN RADIO MAGAZINE LAND!

LET'S NOT DO THIS THOUGH: OUR BAND NAME IS A COMBINATION OF THE WORDS "NA" "NA" "NA" (AS IN "NANANA IM SINGING A SONG I DONT KNOW THE WORDS TO NANANA NA") AND THE POPULAR CANADIAN ACTOR OF THR 80S AND 90S "DAN AYKROYD" FROM GHOSTBUSTERS AND TRADING PLACES. YES, IT'S AS THOUGH HALF-BAKED COMEDY AND MUSIC HAVE *FINALLY* BEEN BROUGHT TOGETHER *WINK* OUR FRIEND CAME UP WITH IT BECAUSE HE IS FUNNY FUNNY FUNNY AND WE DON'T REMEMBER WHY OR WHEN.

OUR ALBUM IS COMING OUT SOON AND HOPEFULLY MORE THAN A HANDFUL OF YOU PEOPLE WILL DEEM IT THE BEST BRITISH ROCK RECORD SINCE THE LAST ONE. IN OUR MINDS IT IS GOOD.

LET'S DO THIS: I WANT TO START A FIGHT-POP* GANG. WHO WANTS TO BE IN IT? WHO WANTS TO JOIN OUR BAND? WHO WANTS TO COME ON TOUR WITH US AND HELP US SHIFT AMPS AND HELP SELL OUR MERCH? WHO WANTS TO COME TO OUR UPCOMING SHOWS AND ROCK OUT AND DANCE WITH US? WHO WANTS TO START A BAND AND LET US PLAY IN IT?



WHO WANTS TO BRING PERCUSSIVE INSTRUMENTS TO OUR SHOWS AND PLAY ALONG WITH US? WHO WANTS TO HUG ME? WHO WANTS TO SEE AN END TO ALL GIGS BEING SOLELY ABOUT THE PERFORMERS ON STAGE HAVING THEIR GIGANTIC EGOS LICKED AND FONDLED AND INSTEAD CREATE A HUGE SWIRLING ROOM OF LOVE WHERE EVERYONE IS IMPORTANT? COME TO OUR SHOWS ON THIS TOUR AND STOP FOLDING YOUR ARMS OR WEARING LEATHER OR BEING EMBARRASSED IN FRONT OF YOUR BOYFRIENDS. BRING AN END TO THE "BAND".

OH YEAH, WE HAVE TO GO TO THE USA FIRST, SO SEE YA IN A BIT PUNX.

*FIGHT-POP IS A MADE UP GENRE THAT CAN SORT OF PORTRAY (IF YOU REALLY OPEN UP YOUR EARS) A STYLE OF MUSIC WHERE MELODIC AND POP ORIENTATED MUSIC IS DELIVERED IN AN "AGGRESSIVE" (VERBALLY) MANNER, OR A SITUATION THAT MIGHT USUALLY INVOLVE A BIT OF ARGY-BARGY INSTEAD INVOLVING HUGS AND DANCING. LOOK OUT.

SNAIL JOKE CORNER


Why was the snail crying?
Because he was robbed by a pair of naughty turtles!

What is the difference between a slug and a snail?
One's a Catholic, one's a Protestant.

Why couldn't the snail use her Boots Advantage card in the jungle?
Because there aren't any branches of Boots in the jungle!

A slug says to a snail, "Please buy a Big Issue from me." And the snail responds, "Bolt ya jakie basturt".

What was the snail's favourite Beatles song?
Michelle.

Why was the snail deaf?
Because he didn't have any ears!
