Friends, we're playing with the Veils at the cavernously large Scala this Monday. Without question this will be the biggest, brightest and most exciting show we've played to date. And considering our last show was at the Social where the stage was so small I literally had skin-to-skin contact with at least two members of the band at any one point a 1200 capacity venue shouldn't that much of a change of pace. Plus it will be ace to see the guys from the Veils again as it's been ages almost 6months since we last appeared on the same stage together.
As for the future, well we are playing with the excellent Exlovers at Hoxton Bar and Grill in a week or two, and after that with 4or5 musicians at the fly. We were scheduled to play with our good friends Thomas Tantrum and Haunted Stereo in November but unfortunately can't do that now. But regardless everyone should still go and see them as they're both blatantly amazing. Serious. Haunted stereo were Q's record of the day a couple of weeks ago and you wouldn't want to go and fuck off Q would you?
In other news the new website goes live in two days, or one day...it goes live Sunday. It should be pretty fancy I'm told and apparently this blog will appear on there as well. And if you're reading this post-sunday it is pretty fancy and this blog is on there/here...
This month I've been all over the show, drunk for a large part of it - but this weekend I will be at the The Victoria with my soul mates Televised Crimewave for it's one year birthday. it's free entry and should be the best fun.

SOSAYSO @ the social - Tuesday 18 Aug
Folks - we're playing Club Ugly @ the Social tomorrow. It's free entry.
We've been on holiday for the past two weeks and were recording pretty constantly up until that point, as such the break was pretty damn rewarding. But now the holiday season is over and as a result we're back in the studio recording again. New songs should hopefully be here before our very exciting show playing once again with our friends the Veils @ the Scala.
But as with when you're school and the first piece of work set when returning from summer holidays is to write about them, regarder:
I went to Norway. It was good and did not rain much. When i was in norway I visited friends in bergen who took me to the lost weekend festival where i saw kukmuthafucka who were good though the drinks were expensive. i also went to Oya in oslo where i saw accidents never happen and fever ray who were good. It was also good to see my english friends who were on the northern europe sections of their tours. It rained lots on sunday and I saw Harrys Gym who where good. i saw of beirut also who were good but it was raining so i went to the pub.
The end.

a busy couple of days
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.
