last night kerrigan and myself went and saw our good friend Mimi Leung's exhibition. it's very much worth a look. After this kerrigan went on to Notting hill arts club to see dansette junior while i went home to watch twin peaks.
Tuesday is rapidly approaching and we are getting very excited to play again with the wonderful hjaltalin. Coupled with the fact that we will be recording this weekend it's going to be a busy couple of days.

Tuesday 21 So Say So @ the Lexington w/ Hjaltalin
We're playing once again with the wonderful Hjaltalin this Tuesday 21 July at the Lexington. as you all know this is an auspiscious day. Not only does it mark the day Hetrostatus Set fire to the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, but it also marks the world's lowest ever reocrded temperature (-89.2 in antartica) and the day man that man first walked on the moon. just a bit of history for you. you can't fuck with history.
anyway - i don't know any more details for the gig but if the last time we shared a stage is anything to go by this will be another mark in his.......[I refuse to finish that sentence].
In other news we've been rehearsing a bit, wriiting a little, and enjoying having a studio lots and lots. It's our aim to get some new recordings done so as soon as the vocal booth and the control room have been built that's what we'll do.
Sunday past was graham's birthday so we all went to the alma street festival in Kentish Town to celebrate. Roots Manuva played...it was rubbish...well i think it was roots manuva. by 6 o'colck the PA had blown and I couldn't tell what was going on. whoever it was, they were rubbish. Following this we all ended up at the Torriano where Kerrigan has a cocktail named after him. Fact. It tastes like Hubba Bubba.Fact.
For anyone going to see Emmy the Great this August Kerrigan will be playing piano for her at a load of festivals. I can't remember what festivals but I'll find out and post i on here.

I promise...
...that i will never go 6 weeks without an update again. I promise i will never go 6 weeks without an update again. I promi...you get the picture.
but a lot has happened in the past 6 weeks - too much to recount in one post. Its like when you don't go to the hairdresser for half a year and they ask you how you've been...
'...erm. I've been to bournemouth. that was alright.'
thats my stock answer. to be honest I don't think i ever have been to bournemouth, and to be extra honest - not that honesty is something quantifiable - it's not like you can be more honest or extra honest, you're just honest or you're not. its the same with deception. i think. it probably is, but this is too metaphysical for right now so i'll get back to the point in hand which is i 've never really got the hang of hairdressers. I'll go into one if I'm aware i need a haircut but never with a desired outcome. its quite a recipe for disappointment.
but in So Say So news, we have a new studio. it's big and bright and doesn't make you want to throw up when the pub next door flushes their toilets. I'm looking at you redchurch street.
in other news our good friend alex turvey has been receiving some ridiculously good press lately such as this and this. so congratulations to him.There's nothing better in this world there seeing a successful half greek-cypriot, because god knows their aren't many of us.
and also in other news our friends portasound are on a Huw Stephens compilation also featuring our friends hjaltalin.

Borderline in two weeks
Two weeks today we're playing the Borderline with Hjaltalin. To the left is the fyer - i don't know how to make it bigger on here but I'm sure you get the idea. I can't wait for this. Having two months off has been productive and its been great to relax so much but I want wo get back playing shows. Anyhow, as you probably can't make out from the miniscule image tickets are £7.50 in advance and you can get them from here. We have cheap list as well so message us if you want that.In other news, Glenn, Caroline and myself went to Thorpe Park last weekend. It was pretty ace truth be told but i felt well sick by the end of it. All the rides induced instant hangovers despite the fact i hadn't drank the night before. The best was this big old pendulum type thing which just swang forth and back repeatedly.
Our friend Dansette Junior is playing Punk tonight which we'll all be going to. If you can make it down I believe he is on at 21.30 and entrance is free before 21.00.
Finally, I've been listening to loads of Bullet Union recently and spending loads on comics. Plus we're all at the Breeders ATP next weekend.

rehearsals mate
just over two weeks since a post this time. I'm doing well. And i still can't decide on a font.
We have maybe four new songs we're working on that moment and they're all sounding pretty fantastic. watch out for Matters - it's going to sound amazing.
In other news...I saw The Big Pink at the ICA last night. I think they were good - my friend has just started doing vocals for them and when i know someone in a band I generally lose all objectivity.
...Anvil is amazing. I went to a late night screening at the rio the other day. It's a truly beautiful film.
That's it - we're reharsing all weekend so will probably miss out on the best of the sunshine but it'll be worth it.

May 21st
Almost two weeks without a post - I assume this to be a long time in the blogosphere (blogasphere?).
So updates:
We're now on twitter. A website I'm still in the process of loathing, though I'm sure I'll come round. Follow us to receive up 160 characters worth of eloquential literary joy.
As mentioned in a previous post we're not playing live for a bit as we continue to work on new songs...but when we do come back we're playing with the brilliant Hjaltalin at the Borderline on the 21st of May. Tickets are £9 on the door - but only £5 on our cheap list.
And in other news:
I caught up with Haunted Stereo the other day at their show in Kilburn. They are actually my favourite band in the world at the moment and their new stuff is sounding brilliant - dark and sexy but still vibrant and organic. They're playing in Putney at the Half-moon tomorrow. Also playing tomorrow are our good friends Portasound at the Victoria which I think I'll be venturing to. Oh - and of course the brilliant The Good Gods are playing Cargo tonight for Attitude Is Everything which I'll also be going to
Finally - I've been watching a lot of this show recently. Now I don't have a television so I don't know basically anything about whats on these days, but I think its safe to assume that this is probably the best thing on it.
