Hooray for Reading's Purplest Turtle! having recently moved house to within a projectile vomit of it's hallowed and cherished threshold I now find myself booked in for a run of gigs there with White Sunday and Müf over the coming weeks that should please ladies and gentlemen as well as children of all ages. Le Dimanche Blanche are there this Friday (9th Dec - or "tomorrow" as one wag put it earlier today), going on stage at about 10pm - this show was due to be staged at the Boxing Club, but I'm guessing that the promoters (beautiful and lovely people) finally got sick of putting up with the BC's management/staff's shite and upgraded venues. We were already booked in for a gig at the Turtle on 4th Jan (the day after my birthday) alongside the very excellent Audio Runway, so looks like double bumper fun all round! I understand from Mikey's secret morse-code messages (passed to me via a wire taped to my leg) that Müf will also be getting geological at the Turtle on 17th Jan? This should be an extra special night in celebration of Luisa the promoter's birthday (21yrs), don’t know if it has been confirmed but if we are booked Mikey has promised to spring naked from a giant birthday cake as a surprise for all concerned. So yeah - the Purple Turtle; because everyone should have a porpoise in their life.

The Whizzle Suzzle should have our new CD available at tomorrow's gig, piping hot and packed full of nutritious vitamins and minerals. Mmmmm! Get 'em while they are hot, they're luverly!
We also did Linda Serck's "Detention" radio show at Blast 1386am (going out on Sky TV channel 913 at 3-5am on Sat morning!) recently, which was not only a wicked laugh but also a bit of an academic success with us getting a record, best-ever 9 out of ten questions right on Linda's pop quiz! Result. The delectable Ms. Serck played two tracks off our new demo CD and let us get the guitars out (Brent stylee) to do acoustic versions of "If You Got Soul", "Take the Fear" and "Common Life" - very cool to play in the studio, as it was like playing a gig to Linda (easy to forget the mics were broadcasting it to.. However many people were listening!). I made a dodgy start to the show by asking Linda if she was going to make us do lines in detention, but this was expertly swept under the carpet without any undue fuss..

After that we went and checked out the results of a photo shoot we did with Fern, our adopted image-capturer to choose which pics would be accompanying the new CD (as well as filling out the gallery on our website). Against all the odds, there were some beautiful pics there, and much deliberation was taken over a pub lunch in Winnersh before decisions were made. Fern is also sorting out the demo for us artwork wise, she's in line to winning "White Sunday Employee of the Month" for her efforts. At the photo shoot we did at her place she cooked me sausage beans and chips - she obviously clocked the way to my heart from the moment she saw me. I wish I wasn't so obvious - what I wouldn’t give for a little mystique..
