Have you heard of Dragonette?  They are to dragons what A-Z is to Alphabs.  That’s right, they’re mucho goodo, unlike Coco Jamboo.

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.

August is the month of gigs.  Not Giggs, but gigs.  Not Greggs, but gigs.  Not wist are a great German band, you should check them out!

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!
