This Saturday, the first and only Saturday of the August bank holiday weekend, they will be playing a one-off London date at 93 Feet East on Brick Lane and (not-so coincidentally) so will we.  By we I mean Neon Highwire, not we as in urea.  That would require two e’s and when it comes to spelling I do not bluff.  Hey!  It’s Sergeant BulletPoints, everyone’s favourite military entity!

• This Saturday.
• 93 Feet East, London.
• Playing live.
• Buy tickets beforehand here: http://www.theplayground.co.uk/ticket/events.php?artist=DRAGONETTE
• You can probably turn up on the night and buy tickets on the door.  Remember to say to the robot on the door that you’re there to see us.
• Dancing.
• Two rooms.
• No Coco Jamboo.
• I’ve got a sore throat

By the way, you just lost the game.

If those bullet points are too intense for you, then you can learn betterer by watching this video involving talking bears.

Other than that, we’re hard at work on our next EP which may (won’t) feature songs with titles like

• Chris; Not Chris
• Sleepy Weasel
• Tear Along The Dotted Lime (Fruiticide)
• There’s No U In Coldharbour (Oh Wait)
• Glorious Victorious
• ID’d at 54

I’m sure there’s other stuff to mention too, but I’ve got a really sore throat, like one of those ones where every swallow hurts.  I tried to get an early night last night too, but alas I kept waking up with throat pain.  There’s more remixes and stuff like that at http://www.myspace.com/neonrewire.  We did a revamp of the Myspace page as Myspace changed everything, though by we I mean Luke did.

Here’s the upcoming gig list and associated links.

At the end of the month we shall be supporting the wonderful Dragonette on their only London date, so be sure to make your bank holiday a whole pile of awesome by buying some tickets here.  That’s right, Saturday 28th August, courtesy of the coolest promoters in all of London, yes, The Playground.  It’s going to be the perfect end to the summer, collective minds will be blown.

Live in Reading?  Live near Reading?  Like reading?  Otis Redding?  Saturday 7th August we’ll be playing at the Here Comes The Sun festival to raise funds for the Rising Sun Arts Centre.  It’s a breathtaking line up with UpCDownC, Ben Marwood, The Heartwear Process and MOAR!  It’s gonna be a fun packed day with dance, comedy, poetry, burgers, open studios, zombies, workshops, artwork, apocalypse, children’s fun, world food, lasers and a marketplace.

Also, if you like North Greenwich, domes and krispy kreme (it has nothing to do with donuts, but I like donuts, I wanna donut) then come to Union Square in the minellium dome on Thursday 5th August for a night of Electronica and dance music and cheap drinks offers with free entry.

Other than that, there’s Never Enough Notes birthday thing at the end of September, but that’s the end of September so a while yet.

I really want to eat some mushy peas right now, odd.  I don’t know how my brain has moved from donuts to mushy peas in such a short space of time.  Maybe I’m pregnant or just had a stroke.  Not that kind of stroke.  Unbelievable!

2. Tonight’s gig at Roadtrip was fun.

3. Steve was interviewed by BBC News yesterday as part of Conspiracy For Good.

4. Come to this event Monday night where  Steve will be reading from his personal diary from 1997, the peak of his adolescent, hormonal years.

Geoff CAPS: “what/ Yeah alright, whatever Steven Morgan says is ture.  You gonna buy a Bigg Ishoo orwo’?”

Tell you what, here’s another Neon Blink remix for you to potentially enjoy: http://soundcloud.com/neonhighwire/neon-blink-inspiring-house-mix.  It’s also on http://www.myspace.com/neonrewire, but Myspace is sh%tontoast so what-the-unicorn-ever?  Yeah, you know, more remixes innit?  Like someone takes those source files and makes something new out of it.  Not like that, in fact, but actually that.  That’s what a remix is, see.  One thing though, and honestly, this is so exciting that I almost wanna create an animated flaming gif for its wonderfulness…

The forthcoming Novelty Music Scene remix of Neon Blink is so good that on first listen, I bit down on my teeth so hard I chipped a tooth.  It’s a small chip, but it’s amazing how weird it feels whilst your mouth aclimbatises to your new bite.  Hopefully you’ll enjoy it without this mouth based metamorphosis, but I’m gonna totally admit, it was worth it.  Honestly, keep your eyes open for that shizzle any day now, you’ll thank me.

So, if you want cheap entry on the gig next Saturday get in touch.  If you bag that shit early, you can LITERALLY get half price entry.  I’m gonna admit, I find that exciting.  If you don’t, then you evidently don’t have hernia inducing money problems and you can buy me drinks all night that night AND EVERY NI@GHT==; YOU CRUNT.  I’m looking at you, champagne boy.  Yes.

Other than that, Neon Blink is going to figure on another mountain biking video somewhere, I don’t quite get the association, but I ain’t arguing like innit like like.  That’s so vague I might as well have not even written it, but to be honest, these emails aren’t exactly concise or informative, so why change that?  I enjoy the hatemail YOU PRCK, YOU KNOW WHERE I LIVE, CM SAY HAAI!

This part is more important than the rest of it combined:

Never Enough Notes Birthday (Hot Beds, Neon Highwire & TBC)

It’s a shame that application took so long, I’ll admit I’m gutted, but fingers crossed it works out for you,

Steve

Neon Blink (inspiring house mix) by NeonHighwire

Here’s another remix that’ll be making its way to the Neon Blink single release.  You can listen to it on Myspace on our Neon Rewire page, or listen below.  You’ve got choices, it’s good to have choices.  Like the choice between listening to some earnest  singer songwriter’s new forward-looking oestrogen tinged opus, or cutting your own ears off and feeding them to a parakeet with a temperature.  I’ll sure miss my ears.

Neon Blink (CAT remix) by NeonHighwire

Now that’s out of the way, here’s the dealio.

“You’ve never been to Alton Towers, Michael Caine doesn’t follow you and you’ve never been to Spain”.

“You and I have to get out of Stephan’s way”.

“My dealer drives a three wheeler, lives in a house by the side of the sea”.

“I guess I sort of lied when I said it’s not that bad. That fly, that helicopter, that red and white van”.

“I want to be colonically irrigated, so I know how it feels not to be full of sh*t”.

WHATEVER STEVE, GET ON WITH IT.

Big Chill

We’re playing at The Big Chill House on June 17th.  It’s gonna be incredible, we’re on last so a longer set than usual which will be nice, though tiring.  I’ve never been to the Big Chill festival, but is it just me who’s all like “Big Chill? Why the hell would I go to a festival to chill?  What am I, some sort of c-?”.  So yeah, we’ll be bringing our lounge-core to the Kings Cross area and hopefully I’ll have the surgery to shoot lasers out of my knuckles complete by then too.  It’s got free entry, so come along you dummy!  For your health.

Bear At The Bus Stop

New song from us which you can hear here.  It’s short, it’s instrumental and it embraces triplets much like this sentence.  Feedback so far has ranged from “I like that it’s instrumental” to “Is it finished or ongoing?”.  With feedback like that, how can you resist?

Video

We made a video to educate you again.  No need to thank us, we’re martyrs and will just moan about you not thanking us behind your backs.  TYPICAL.  Watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5tJi0XGOdY

Twitterview

Never Enough Notes asked us questions, we gave them answers.  That’s how interviews work yeah?  Difference here is that it was through Twitter.  It’s like the future today.  386 baby, 386.  Here it is.

Remixes

As part of the upcoming Neon Blink release on Blue Dove Records, there’ve been a load of Neon Blink remixes and there are more to come.  Take a listen to some because they’re great.  Don’t take a listen to them if you eat your own farts.  You don’t eat your own farts, do you?  Oh man, if people knew you ate your own farts, you wouldn’t get invited to that thing you’re really excited about going to.  Think about it.  Just listen.

• Pimp Daddies of NoHo remix
• Sizeable Moth Hat remix
• Hail! Perestroika remix

Others

• Under Moonlight features on a Syllabus Music compilation.
• On Westside Will‘s US radio show
• Rough mix of a collaboration with Skyline Dossier that’s been abandoned, take a listen if you’re perverted.
• Playing a one day festival in Reading in August.
• Playing a special show early September, special as in sauce, not school.
• Two more songs almost finished recording.

Greggs.  I mean gigs:

Here Comes The Sun (Neon Highwire & tbc)

Steve.

If you like Myspace, then you can go over there to give it a listen, or alternatively you can just use the player below.  Enjoy.

Neon Blink (Sizeable Moth Hat Remix) by NeonHighwire

None of that matters, whichever is true, you’re reading this, so I win by default.

Here’s what you should do.  Got a Twitter account?  Follow us.  Got a Facebook account?  Become a fan.  Got a Myspace Page?  Be our friend.  Got an email address?  Join our mailing list.

Got other friends with decent taste in music?  Improve their lives, tell them about us.  Think you’re wasting your life watching shitty TV or spending way too much time at the same pub with the same person / people?  Come watch us live.  Think your remixing skills are laudable?  Email us.  Any other ideas of projects relating to the band?  Let us know, we’ll talk it over.

Of course, alternatively you could do none of these things.  If you do though, you get +10 life points for each.  Just imagine!

Oh yeah, and don’t forget to listen to our new track Bear At The Bus Stop on Soundcloud.  It’ll raise the temperature of your metaphorical testicles.
