It’s been 5 months since the last blog, so it’s about time we did another one to let y’all know what’s going down at the moment.
Since May, we have played the following gigs.
Friday 10th June: The Cornerhouse – Cambridge
Friday 24th June: B2 – Norwich
Saturday 2nd July: The Cornerhouse – Cambridge
Thursday 7th July: Arch 635 – Clapham, London
Saturday 9th July: The Shed – Leicester
Saturday 23rd July: The George - Luton
Saturday 20th August: The Hat Factory – Luton
Saturday 20th August: The Arts Club – Worcester
Highlights for me include the Chilli and Chips at The Cornerhouse, The first pint after an emotionally exhausting journey to Norwich (damn that traffic near Thetford…), lots of punk music in Leicester and as always – Luton Aid in August (of which you can see a few clips, courtesy of All Sorts Digital).
Speaking of which, we played Luton Aid pretty early this year (14:30) on the PDM stage. Apart from the fact that we’ve played later slots in recent years and it’s fairer to other bands, we had to travel up to Worcester in the evening to play a gig at The Arts Club as part of the Worcester Music Festival. We arrived there just in time and were met by a very nice promoter who wasted no time in getting us pints of water to take on stage with us. However, we were hit by the “bad timing bug” as most of the punters disappeared to other gigs in the town after the band before us – leaving us playing to only a few people.
Worcester, we never knew you…
The other gigs were great fun though! Made a few friends, sold a few CD’s and loved playing. That’s what it’s all about…
Future plans… Well we’re turning our attention to writing a second album as well as further gigging. We’ll keep you updated on any developments.
For now though – we have these gigs coming up.
Friday 18th November: The Cornerhouse – Cambridge
Saturday 19th November: Retro – London (W10)
Friday 25th November: The Shed – Leicester
Tuesday 13th December: The Horn – St Albans
For the materialistic among you, physical copies of our album ‘Fierce Grin’ and the Beard-Free & Exciting EP are still available at gigs for £3 and £2 respectively.
We’re still looking to make them available online to purchase with a £1 addition to the price for postage and packaging. For now though, badger us at a gig if you’d like to make a purchase.
You can stream/download the material for free from www.prlj.co.uk or stream it from www.myspace.com/prlj
That’s all for now, cheers as always
