Thank You!
Current mood: happy

Thanks to all for supporting us at V Festival in Chelmsford and Stafford this weekend.

We'd like apologise for the absence of guitarist Lee Gaze for the majority of the set on Sunday at Stafford. He was at a nearby hospital with his heavily pregnant wife and dashed to the festival site as soon as he was able to play the last few songs. Everything is fine with all the family.

Again, thanks to everyone for your support.

SIDESHOW CIRCUS DJ DANCE OFF TONIGHT OVER 21 WARNINGGG

For all those who are gonna come hang out, just wanted to let you know that its OVER 21's. Sucks i know, but that's how silly the law can be. There's also a dress code of sorts, nothing specific but you have to look like you made an effort, or you made an effort to look like you havent made an effort. You know the score, just look rad. If it was my club, i'd only let people dressed in bear costumes through the door.

So if you do wanna come down, be 21 or over or look 21 or over or have a really cool fake ID and dress fabulous.

UH OHH, MADE IN HELL LAST CALL FOR ORDERSSS!!!!

Peoples, peoples, peoples, we are down to the wire. Our custom MIH shirts are almost all out so i wanted to give you guys a heads up just in case.

I have only 30 Made In Gold left, and under 100 of the other three designs. These will never be reprinted and you will be one of only 500 people in the world owning one if you grab one.

They are all printed on American Apparel and the sizing charts are up on the page for anyone unsure. They each come with a custom lanyard, signed laminate and pin badge also remember. We ship worldwide.

So yeah, again, the support has been amazing, way beyond what i expected, i cant thank you guys enough, seriously......blew my mind.

Even if these designs dont float your boat, then add us anyway and spread the word. Its constantly evolving and you never know, there might be something in the future that tickles your fancy. Like spacebikes.

go check it out and add, because friends are fun.

Dancing on soap stars with ice skates

I've had a few of my mates txt today and a few messages on here asking about a piece The Sun newspaper ran today about me apparently being involved in the next series of skating on dance skates with ice. As funny as that thought is, its total bollocks, and i've been trying to think how they even came up with it all day. Still havent figured it out. Anyway, sadly you wont see me acting like a cunt with a load of soap stars acting like cunts on ice on skates on tv anytime soon.

And for anyone who even thought there was a gram of truth in the article, shame on you.

Now if it was rock of love 3.......

THANK YOU SPANK YOU

To everyone who came and supported over the weekend at Download. It was our biggest show to date, and was amazing. The crowd were fantastic, the lasers were searing and the pyros were totally explosive. It means a lot that so many of you came out and had a good time. Now we go back to finish the album so we can come and tour properly with sweet new songgsss.



Also wanna say thanks to everyone who supported and checked out MADEINHELL.

If you havent had a look already then go see

www. myspace. com/wearemadeinhell

The demand was way above and beyond what we expected, so thank you so much. Designs are flying out, which is blowing my mind. If you fancy getting one then you gotta be quick, cause we are almost sold out. We are only printing 500 each of these bad boys, and then thats that, no exceptions.



Just a reminder too, that these are just PRE ORDERS at the moment, so it may take a little longer to get your sweetness, but nevertheless, once they are gone, they are gone.



More goodness soon....

IAN LAUNCHES WEARABLE ART EXPERIMENT, "MADE IN HELL"

Over the years, I've been approached by various people and companies about starting my own clothing line, and I've always said no. Do we really need another guy in a band selling crap teeshirts just to pump up his ego? It seemed a bit cliche.

But, as you may or may not know, I used to be a graphic designer and still do all the artwork for the band - album covers, single covers, merch, website, logos etc etc (Jamie helps with illustrations sometimes because he's an awesome painter). Naturally, I've amassed a lot of ideas and designs that couldn't or haven't worked in the context of the band. I looked through them a few months back and realized it would be a shame to let them go to waste.

That said, I still didn't like the idea of being another guy in another band putting his name to crap.

Through my studies of graphic design, I've gotten well into art and collecting it whenever possible. My favorite is mostly street, urban stuff like Banksy and Micallef because I love the way that when they make something, it's limited and unique. The person who owns their work has the pleasure of knowing that there are very few people in the world who have claim to the same thing.

So I had an idea. What if I did something with my designs using this limited element - to make these shirts more than just shirts - make them actual, special works of art (that also make you look rad).

I don't really want to call this a company. I see it more as an experiment, an event. There wont be any big marketing campaign, no big promo, no giveaways. This is something special that I am doing myself. You won't be able to get my shirts in stores or through any other outlets. I don't feel the need to advertise it any further than telling you guys and letting you spread the word...for the time being.

Each cycle will consist of four of my own designs, as well as one collaboration with another artist. I will only produce a limited number of each design. As each one sells out, the screen will be destroyed, never to be produced again. That's it, done. Once all the designs are gone, a new set will go up. Each shirt will be made to order - there's no stockpiled warehouse lying in wait. Every shirt will be numbered and custom made, and will come with a sticker and a badge. Every design will come from my brain via my hands through whatever medium I feel like using at that moment. It's a way to get my ideas out and have other people be a part of it - looking fucking awesome while doing so.

The chances of seeing anyone wearing the same shirt as you are slim to none, and when people start complimenting you and asking where they can get one, you can smugly tell them they can't. They are gone. They are shit out of luck.

WARM UP SHOWSSSSSS

ok, so im not sure why these dates havent been on here, but its better late than never. There may still be tickets left, im not sure, worth a shot though cause these shows are our first shows in a year and it will be a crazy laugh (probably at our expense).

As always we have amazing supports, this time we got Attack Attack and The New 1920 who this time next year are probably gonna be massive and cool as shit. Also for the astoria show we have the mighty megalolztastic Flash Flash Flash Photography helping us out. Remember these are just little warm up shows not a full tour, so thats why we arent going to every city. When we do tour we will go everywhere trust me.

Anyway, if you havent got tix yet, go get em, and if you have, then see you there.
