HUGTOBER

WOW! THE POSTERS SO FAR FOR HUGTOBER HAVE BEEN SO, SO BADICAL TURBO IT'S GOING TO BE VERY DIFFICULT TO CHOOSE A WINNER. PLEASE DO KEEP THEM COMING! YOU KNOW YOU HAVE IT IN YOU TO CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS SOMETHING SO SIMPLE, YET ULTIMATELY HEARTWARMING! BEEP! BLOW YOUR FUZZY LITTLE MINDS!

HUGTOBER(AT)GOOGLEMAIL.COM = YAY

wE JUST PLAYED THE LAST NIGHT OF OUR MOST RECENT EURO TOUR AND TO SAY WE ARE TIRED AND WEARY AND LITERALLY COVERED IN BED-BUG BITES IS QUITE THE UNDERSTATEMENT OF YOUR STINKING LIFE. DON'T SAY IT THEN, OK?!

HOWEVER, IT'S STRAIGHT INTO A VERY BRIEF REHEARSAL TOMORROW, WORKING ON THE VERY BEGINNINGS OF OUR NEXT FULL LENGTH, BEFORE TAKING A WELL EARNED REST FOR A FEW WEEKS (I'LL BE IN NEW ENGLAND USA GETTING ROSY CHEEKED WITH THE MISSUS).

IT FEELS LIKE OUR JANUARY TOUR WAS JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO. LOOKING FORWARD LOADS TO HUGTOBER THOUGH. I HOPE ALL YOU DUDES HAVE SOME STINKY TICKETS! THINGS ARE LOOKING GOOD. WE'LL BE TOURING FRANCE BEFORE THE YEAR IS OUT TOO. NOT TO MENTION ALL THE EXCITING THINGS WE ARE LINING UP FOR NEXT YEAR. OH GOD YES. HAHAHAHA LAUGH. HOW ARE YOU?

Birmingham gig

Hey Everyone!!!

Last day of the tour, in Berlin, it's been pretty amazing so far. Hamburg made it into our top 5 sweatiest gigs. Good work guys!

Next thing we're doing is this in Birmingham, it's free and over 14's!

THE DANANANANAYKROYD BOOK OF POSSIBLE DOOM

Part 1 in a series of 239

FIRST ENTRY:

TILBURG 18/09/09

DEATH AVOIDED!

Gaahl, formerly of really ugly pervert band GORGOROTH was staying at our hotel.
I'm pretty sure he wanted to kill or rape us (or both) but we escaped unharmed.

GIRUY, GAAHL!

'HUGTOBER 09'

Hello dudes and dudettes! How have you all been? Oh yeah. We've just kicked off our Holland/Germany tour and are currently relaxing in Amsterdam eating crap and talking crap and just being biffters, yeah. Nice!

We're all getting super pumped and excited for our upcoming October UK tour. It's our first tour of the UK for a little while and will be our last of the year. We're calling it 'HUGTOBER 09' because we are all a bit silly and also because we like hugging! PSYCH!

ANYWAY! We've put together a simple, yet very lovely little competition, just to get you peeps contributing and helping make HUGTOBER that little bit more special for everyone involved.

THE COMPETITON:

We never really have especially good tour posters or flyers, so, for a change, we're asking you to design one and send it to us. THAT'S IT! EASY! All you need to do is design your poster, include the upcoming HUGTOBER dates (which you can find here - DANA MYSPACE - and we will go through them, put them in a special folder on our Myspace page and eventually choose our favourite one as a winner that will see HUGTOBER kicked off in possibly the best style imaginable!

THE PRIZE:

'Hey Everyone' CD album
Some seven inches
Sissy Hits EP
T-shirt
A pair of passes that enables you to get into as many dates as you want on the HUGTOBER UK tour

So, there you go. We will pass on some information on how to submit your poster to us as a comment to this very blog post soon. Good luck!

Oh aye, tickets for HUGTOBER are selling fast! Pick up yours today - SEE TICKETS!

whip it!

Hey duders,

There's a video of us recording Whip it (by Devo you fools!) for an Aussie radio station here -

Those 3 festivals were great, we had a pretty close call with John's arm, when his tshirt was being ripped off. But a nice security guard completed the rip, inadvertently saving john's arm. Yay!

We also got to see Ems from Popcorn Catering, she pretty much our estranged tour mum. Always amazing to see her, partly because it means the food coming your way will be spectacular.

Love you! Thanks everyone who came down to see us. Next up, Offset!
