It’s been a while.  Maybe too long, or potentially too soon even.  Who knows?  You’re a load of people and I am one.  I know you’re busy, you don’t have time for rambling preambles (or brambles), so I’m gonna give you executive types some bullet point love so you know what is what within the Neon Highwire stratosphere with MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY.  So without further ado, here is a poem (limerick) dedicated to a kitten:

Mittens, you were cute and furry.

Mittens, with your wrath and fury.

My arm is still bleeding.

You had to stop breathing.

Mittens, you tasted great in curry.

And now that mortifying tale is out of the way, here are those bullet points, and by that I mean three words that rhyme with ORANGE:

DERRANGE

SYRINGE

RICHARD GERE

Seriously though, I know you’re busy, busy like Jason Statham in that film Crank which I haven’t seen, but think has the most ridiculously wonderful concept and wish I could have been there in the original pitch meeting.  “No, nothing like Speed“.

• Official Video for our recent single Bear At The Bus Stop.
• We’re playing at Powers on Nov 19th & 229 on Dec 1st.

• An interview for a magazine that was rejected for being too offensive.
• Live video of us playing Neon Blink at Never Enough First Birthdays.
• We didn’t play 6Fest.
• We did play Scala.
• I met the head of the BPI and am now probably on a list.
• Luke and I made an awful video.
• I recorded cheesy vocals over a Mogwai song because I was bored.
• I promise not to read from my diary in public again.
• I disappeared for a week.

I could elaborate on all of those things, but that’s what the website is for and never let me be known as someone who says things twice.  I will not gain the reputation as someone who says things twice.

Maybe not wise, but heartbreakingly true,

Steve.

We were supposed to spend the day working on our incredible set for this Saturday at Scala, Kings Cross (believe me, it’s awe inspiring) but then Jim got all rock n roll on us and phoned at 16:00 saying “Oh man, I’m so rock n roll, check me out and my rock n roll lifestyle, I’ve just gotten up” or something to that effect.

In the meantime, Luke and I were all like SEVENTY TIMES THE NATIONAL AVERAGE of productivity and got so much stuff done that this one guy knocked on my door and was like “I can feel the productivity seeping out from under your door, it’s incredible, like nothing I’ve ever experienced before”.

You know who that guy was?  BLACK FRANCIS from the past traveled to the future.  Take that M Night Shyamalan!

Anyway, so as we’d been so productive, we thought we’d make a quick video too (Luke was spending ages sorting out a vocoder part and I was bored) which can now be viewed on the Youtubes RIGHT HERE.

So other than that, remember to buy your tickets for next Saturday’s gig right here as we’ve sold through our first two allocated batches already and LOVE SELLING THINGS TO YOU PEOPLE.  IT GIVES JIM THE RAGING HORN AS HE IS A SEX CRIMINAL.  We hate drummers though, fascists.

Hey stupid face!  Haha, that got you riled up didn’t it.  Look at you there with your face of the stupid.  Man, sometimes I’m so funny people forget to laugh or smile! Hello! Zing!

Buy tickets to our gig on October 23rd online here.

Here are the celebrity endorsements:
Dave: “You’ve been acting like a real dick lately, don’t think we haven’t noticed”.
Daisy: “Please stop calling, it’s not healthy, you should really get some help”.

WAIT THOSE AREN’T ENDORSEMENTS AT ALL!

Here’s the poster for it below, it’s well sexy lush, though I thought something was missing so I added an edited one below.  Let me know which you think is the best.

Steve’s new and improved version:

Naturally that was a rhetorical question. The second poster is the greatest work of art mankind has ever produced. Everyone can stop now, I have won the art.

You can buy tickets to our upcoming October show with Pete And The Pirates online here: http://bit.ly/ppiratesneontix right now!  Each order comes with a free copy of our EP Luminescence.

On Saturday October 23rd 2010, at Scala, Kings Cross, London, we will be playing on an immense line-up also featuring Pete And The Pirates and DJ sets from Bloc Party & The Maccabees.  ZOMG!  Tickets are on sale now, but as an extra insentive to those with excellence ingrained into their DNA, if you buy before the end of September, you get a free copy of our debut EP Luminescence thrown in absolutely free.  Just £12.50 for the whole lot.  I feel like Billy fucking Mays right now.
