Screwball, Fringe Festival, New Band, Old Band, Dutch Tour
It never rains but it pours. Fringe Festival print deadline is Sunday, the last week has been a desperate scramble to get events confirmed, details on the website updated, promoters chased etc. So far we've got 48 fully confirmed events on the website.
In the meantime we've been booking acts for Screwball, a very difficult thing to do because we started so late and so many of the best local bands had already been booked. That said, we've almost completed an absolutely amazing line-up and as far as I know we haven't got anyone who is playing another fringe event which is quite an achievement.
And we've got the second ever rehearsal with the new band tonight. The traditional "can't think of a good name" discussion is ongoing. Hopefully we'll end up with something unshit this time...
The old band, Müf, have a reunion gig on the 22nd August as part of the fringe so we've been arranging rehearsals for that. We might actually have to learn to play the new song we wrote in the studio. If anyone could listen to Epitaph and tab my bits for me that'd be great.
I've also recently recieved a load of contacts to talk to about the dutch tour but I have got absolutely no time to do anything with them at the moment.
