“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.

Anyway, winner of this plays The Camden Crawl.  I went once, didn’t enjoy it.  Maybe I’d like it more if I was the other side of the stage.  So…
