OH WORD. OH MY WORD. IT’S WORLD CURRY FESTIVAL IN LEEDS THIS WEEKEND!!!
And to add to all that we have a free download of Club Smith track “Causing Doubt” available on This is Fake DIY, the website behind the label and the magazine “DIY”. It’s pleasing this as I read this website. Now it will be a bit like reading a mirror. For a little while. Weird.
You can get the download by clicking the picture below…
It’s perfect curry eating soundtrack material if you’re in Leeds…
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!
HEY! You can hear our new single being played second track in on Tom Robinson’s WELL BOSS 6music show.
It’s on Iplayer. I can’t embed it but I can send you there via this link. Yeah I’ll send you there. Creepy?
ey up,
First play of our new single “Call to Harm” is on tonight on the Fresh on the Net show by Tom Robinson on 6music. It’s on at 1am, and you can listen on the Iplayer from tomorrow. It should be second song in, looking at the tracklist the whole show looks a humdinger. Get on it.
Here is a picture of me and Tom Robinson Larking around at 6music studios:
Immediately after this shot someone in the studio turned to us and said “You two are a real couple of cards” and in unison we replied “By Jove, indeed we are”.
That might not have happened actually but it was a great day nonetheless.
Hello,
So we’ve finished our festival times now. Our last was Galtres Festival near York. It looked like this:
The organisers and audience did pretty well to battle against an outrageous amount of mud.
Now we’re looking forward to putting a new single out in November…it looks like this:
So we’ll get round to busting out the a-side later on along with some tour dates, but for the time being here is it’s runtish little brother the b-side “Awakening”.
Awakening (B-SIDE) by club smith
The nice people at BBC Introducing in Norfolk interviewed us after we played playfest in Quidenham (a great festival by the way)…I (Sam) decided to turn into a really bad thesaurus for the entire interview.
We then went to our driver/label guy/promoter associate Dudley All sorted Records’ wedding, where I took the most amazing photo of the others…(click on it to make it bigger)
So hopefully you’ve seen our video (post below)…and if you have and have re-posted the link to your facebook status or twitter or web page or whatever then Thanks! If you haven’t yet done that…please do!
Some people may be wondering how it was all done, so now it is time to show how the rabbit got in the hat, to let the cat out the bag, to give the dog a bone. That last household pet related phrase didn’t work but never mind…
One of the Directors (Danny) has put up a blog with a video of the making of the video…this may explain why Lee had such a small part, it wasn’t because he was lazy…it was far from it, he in fact had a pivotal role and did all the intensive training too…
Anyway, over to Danny…
Well, we’ve been really excited about this for a long while now…here’s the new video for our Single “No Friend of Mine”
I don’t want to say too much about how it was made just yet, but it involved 3 months training 5 days a week, full on ‘method acting’ I suppose. It’s filmed by Grizzly Bros. who are Danny North and Tim Blackwell. Hope you like it.
Worth mentioning we got some amazing support in making this video from York Boxing Club. So huge thanks to everyone there especially Lewis Gell and Pat. Check them out at www.yorkboxingclub.co.uk
