I’m salivating so much that I need braces just to keep my denchers in.  WHY?  It’s nothing to do with Judi Dench, or a basement filled with her illegitimate children that she likes to call her “Denchers” in a vain attempt to pretend that she hasn’t enslaved her own offspring and forced them into a life of low-in-Vitamin-A, high-in-sexual-abuse drudgery, and in fact has a team of pallid, flaky, unwashed lodgers living down there because they are afraid of dragons, which are a scourge of the area surrounding the Dench household  (a 4.3km radius) – in case you were wondering.  (She hasn’t done that, I don’t think).

NO!  It’s because in just 3 sensual weeks, on Wednesday 14th December, we will be gracing the stage of 93 Feet East on Brick Lane once again to make your ears dribble happy love dribblings.  Gosh darn it, you are SO FREAKING LUCKY.

Here’s some stuff about it and things so that you can tell some friends and their pets and their naked friends.  NOW GO AND CLEAN YOURSELF OFF.

Jinkies.

Here’s some INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHUFFING GIG.  Love eggs xxxx

Thanks to everyone who came to Cafe 1001 last night to watch us being filmed eating apples, drinking port, dancing suggestively with a balloon sword and attempting to play the new material we’ve written.  Unfortunately a series of unfortunate events made it an… Interesting show!  With a two hour delay to the start due to problems with the venue’s equipment, it didn’t bode well, but add to that Jim’s effects board ceasing to work mere hours after it was behaving perfectly, problems with Luke’s amp and no monitor sounds meaning we could barely work out which song we were supposed to be playing, and once again the world of live instrumentation has one up on us!

Alas, these things happen, and we’d just like to say sorry to all those in attendance, we always want to give everything to our live shows, so we’re as disappointed as yourselves when we’re not able to, but to add to the facepalm… It was all recorded!  Who knows if it’ll even make it to air, but if you fancy yourself a bit of car crash TV, then turn off your Jeremy Kyle and click on this link!

Kim Jong Il Looking At Things

We made a new song dedicated to the website Kim Jong Il Looking At Things with the same name.  It was adopted by the site as their “national anthem” and featured in the B3ta newsletter which was nice of everyone.  Nice like.  Listen here: http://soundcloud.com/neonhighwire/kim-jong-il-looking-at-things.

Band of the month on Little House TV

If you’re on a student network (recent change, most annoying) you can see us on Little House here: http://littlehousetv.com/.  Last I saw it had us playing Under Moonlight at the end of the show, but as I’m not a student I don’t know what’s there anymore.  Let me know if it’s changed students.  You now have a purpose.

TwoGroove Band Feature

TwoGroove wrote some nice things about us in addition to the interview we did with them.  Don’t take my word for it though, click here: http://bit.ly/ex0qiq

OMFG!  We are playing at the Playground in just over 2 weeks!  I can’t bloody believe it, CAN YOU?  I hope you’ve got your tickets and dancing mullets at the ready.  Not convinced?  Ask these bears…

Shit news everyone, a double booking at Vibe Bar means tonight’s gig is cancelled. Sorry for the incredibly short notice, but alas, we’ve had less notice than yourselves, to the extent that we’ve already carted most of our equipment down there already.

Oh and in other cheery news, Tasty Fanzine are not exactly our biggest fans.

Shitbox.

What are your plans for this Thursday?  If they’re not dancing like a shitlollipop at Vibe Bar, Brick Lane then I feel sorry for you son, I’ve got 99 synthlines and Funky Town ain’t won.

If you need any more incentive, check out this video ++ on the Youtubes.  It’s all about the straw polls, and mine does look like a straw poll, unfortunately.

“Look Johnny, sometimes people’s gonna try and tell you what you should do.  You don’t have to follow that advice Johnny, because sometimes people just don’t know as much as they sound like.  You’ve got to think for yourself Johnny, you’re becoming a man.”

“My name is Wilfred.”

That’s right everyone, today is national faux-pas day 2011!  Bypass those awkward situations by pre-empting them and embracing them like a long lost sister you didn’t realise was related to you.

Before I go any further, I’m going to fact you in the sass.

1. THE ENVIRONMENT

Heal the world.  Make it a better place for you and for me and the entire human race.  There are people dying.  If you care enough for the living make a better place for you and for me.

1. THE ELECTION

Some of the more hirsute of you may have noticed that there’s an election imminent (yo).  That’s right.  It’s almost time to vote for your favourite member of Neon Highwire so we can change the name of the band to “<Victorious Person X> And The Neon Highwires”.  Early polls suggest that it’s going to be a runaway victory with the good looking one way ahead, but with the immoral, underhand tactics of the other two, it’s still all to play for!  This vote (with musical accompaniment) will take place at Vibe Bar on the evening of Thursday 6th May.  That’s a week tomorrow!  ZOMG!  You should come, it’s gonna be great.  Oh and it’s the day of the general election too.

1. THE REMIXES

As we’ve mentioned, Neon Blink is being released as a single through Blue Dove Records.  There’s gonna be a heap of brilliant remixes on the b-sides which will be making their way for sneak peaks at our Neon Rewire Myspace page (starting with Fresh:Mesh‘s beast of a remix).  Details on release dates, formats, track listing and the launch party in THE FUTURE.

1. NEW MATERIAL

Still working on it, be patient.  Those who’ve been lucky enough to hear it so far have said “…it’s better than I thought it’d be, I thought it’d be really bad.  Can I please phone my family now to let them know I’m safe?” shortly before they went missing, never to be heard of again in an entirely unrelated incident.

Without further ado, I think of your mother dancing when I cry as it’s the only way I can get to sleep.  With your dad. (Remember what day it is people!), here is the list of upcoming shows:

I still can’t believe I didn’t get any fudge.  I LOVE fudge.  I go into fudge kitchen and pretend I’m gonna buy stuff every time I walk past.  To say I’m devastated is an understatement.  I only forgive you because you’re so incrediblely awesome.

Steve.
