Massive thanks to Colin and Matt from the Saturday show, really very enjoyable, despite keyboard dying 2 minutes before going live and a last minute change to a-cue-stick guitar. Hot discussion topics - Food band name puns and Echo the Dolphin for the Megadrive.

‘Get Some Scars’ played on BBC 6 Music by Chris Hawkins on the Breakfast Show
We are pumped (yes, pumped) that the scholar and gentleman Chris Hawkins played ‘Get Some Scars’ on his show - after plays on the BBC6 Mixtape and Tom Robinson’s Saturday night show. We’ve been in the Studio with James Barr recording 4 new tracks for upcoming release, had a wonderful time. Expect a full list of ‘food in band name’ puns soon. This is a still from the ‘Get Some Scars’ video that we have now finished. Awight.
GSS Videoshoot - 12 hour day finishing the shoot for the Wes Anderson inspired ‘Get Some Scars’ video on Saturday, much of it quite random - a complete stranger in the street offered the use of his mintcondish 1971 Moris Minor (thanks Mick) and we bumped into Javon and his mates from Peckham U11’s football team who now star, bullying Stu on a roundabout. Aces high. Megathanks to Chris Tongue. Should be done in 2 weeks or so. The song is available as a free download.
Get Some Scars on BBC 6 Music - On Saturday night Tom Robinson played GSS on his 9pm show, Wunderbar! Don’t forget chum(p)s, you can download the song for free. Pic is from forthcoming Wes Anderson inspired video that should be finished by the end of the month.
Just in time for Bestival, we’ve just finished work on a song called ‘Get Some Scars’ and have decided to make it available as a free download. We are very proud of it and want as many of you as possible to be able to hear it right away. Tis a nice bit of soulful melancholic groove. Thank to the brilliant Nathan Vernau for the artwork, again. Stu.
