More gig news, bit annoying this but the promoter at the Glasgow gig 12th November was not responding to our agent so we had to pull the gig, we hope to be back oop north soon.

BAD NEWS!
The London gig 19th October at Death Disco (Notting Hill Arts Club) is not happening! There was some kind of awful mix-up which meant we were omitted from the lineup. We’re suitably disturbed by this incident and hope to book a replacement gig in the big smoke. Sorry to anyone planning to come, fortunately it was free entry so no ticket returns issues…
GOOD NEWS!!!
We got a video for our b-side done by our good buddie Steven Carter…see it below!
Well, our new single got a play from Tom Robinson on 6music again last night. I was confused to think it would be tomorrow what with it being early morning but I misunderstood that when the clock strikes midnight we are thus attending Sunday, so I missed it. But tis on the iplayer fear not.
Anyway, you can hear the new single right here:
Aggressive isn’t it. God we are SO angry. Most practice sessions are ruined by outrageous outbursts, mainly because Lee doesn’t seem to understand the vital relationship between the sugar and the stir when it comes to making a good cup of tea. It makes my blood boil. One day, he may learn, but until then the music’s probably going to be right knarky.
So, we’re going to be ridiculous busy now till the end of the year, which should take the edge off the ridicule I invite in other areas of my life. We’re writing an album and then we’ll record it, and we’re also touring this single…which is out on 7th November on All Sorted !?! Records on itunes and ting. It’s a record label we are very close to, the man who runs it drove us around on tour with Pigeon Detectives until we had to leave him in Bristol because of his suffering from absurd food poisoning. We shoved him into a travelodge like a stray dog at the pound and then wiped down everything he touched with disinfectant. That’s love for you. Surprised he still talks to us.
Here’s the tour…we’re adding dates to it all the time…yeay!
Wowzers, our gig at City Screen tonight was totally wick.
We have another gig in York coming up…it’s a festival on bank holiday weekend in Crayke near York…check it out on the link below:

The Charlatans are playing our day. Sweeeeeet. Anyone have their album Wonderland and think it was AMAZING? I did.
Anyway you can get in cheaper for the weekend or day tickets by entering a discount code when you pay for your ticket. The discount code is:
CLUBSMITH1234
And if you buy a ticket entering that code we get a bit added to our fee. It’s like when you pay something to charity out of your salary, except we’re not really a charity, and you’re not getting paid anything, and you’re actually paying for something instead, so it’s not really like that actually. But it kind of is.
Go get a ticket!
Hello,
Club Smith play two London sows in 8 days starting this week…find our more details on the link below…
Holla,
Is that how you spell it? Club Smith are playing some festivals starting next week. AW SWEET! Here they are:
Live at Leeds – Saturday 30th April
This is a festival across the city of Leeds. It’s AWESOME. We play the Faversham at 6pm. Plus two days later there is a Live at Leeds 5 a side tournament which sounds epic. We’re in a team made up of The Faversham promoters and a band called the Officers and All Sorted Records. Nice. We’ll lose. But the gig will be amazing!
Tickets £17.50 from www.liveatleeds.com
Liverpool Sound City – Friday 20th May
Alright Alright calm down. We’re only playing Liverpool’s own city festival. We’re playing The Masque Ink on the Friday. Apparently Peter Hook is a key note speaker for this festival’s conference thing. I once met Peter Hook at a songwriters thing for the BBC. I asked him what his favourite song he’d been involved in writing was, and he said he didn’t know, and I suggested World in Motion, and he didn’t like that. We ended on great terms though, he liked my music.
GREAT STORY.

Play Fest – Saturday 28th May – Norwich
Well our Norwich gig with the Pigeon Detectives was fairly insane so hoping this is just as good. It’s a new festival in Norwich featuring Futureheads, Frank Turner, Darwin Deez, Little Comets and more. We’re on the main stage at 2pm.
More info and tickets at www.playfest.co.uk
Keighley Rock and Rail – Sunday 12th June
We are pretty excited about this gig. It’s a festival set across a railway route…the vintage one in Haworth. So you can come and have new age fun with a vintage feel! Oh yes. We’re actually playing on a train…a moving train. A moving train, with us playing on it. I have no idea how it will work but it sounds ridiculous and perfect.
Tickets from http://www.rockandrail.co.uk
Kendal Calling – Friday 29th July
Don’t need to say a lot about this apart from…we’re playing the same day as House of Pain. That’s all I need to say. How awesome. We’re playing the Calling out stage, late afternoon time, oh and it won small festival of the year last year. I kept on saying stuff didn’t I. Still typing now in fact.
