Wow,

It's been a while!A few things have been going on to keep me from being a cyber wizard!Such as going back and forth to A&E,taking the mammoth task of learning Piano,Watching 50's B-Movies and getting sick from eating some dodgy curry,But, Alas,I'm back..

So yeah..We've had the 1000 'Scars' Ep's back,They look amazing,I'm super stoked with them!Finally the Sketty democracy is finished!It's taken it's time,but finally it's done!If you want a copy give me an email alastairjenkins@hotmail.com

The time is almost upon us,Saturday is looming on the horizon,well it's not really Looming,I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone and watching all the bands who are playing..We have a new song to play,A cover and a intro!So,i'm stoked on playing those!

We've been booking some sick xmas shows,Go to http://www.myspace.com/portraits and check them out.Come down and slam some mulled wine with me.

On the 5th of December,My good Good friend Jonathon Greenwood is releasing his doublecross full band album.Theres a release party in tommys bar Cardiff!I help Jon out by playing guitar for the live band so come down,The album is great!It's a mix between the lemonheads,Bruce Springsteen and the Draft. http://www.myspace.com/doublecrossmusic

I think thats it for now,Thanks for reading,see you Saturday for the release show. Here's the poster.. Craig Horky rules.


One love,

Alastair

So we meet again Internet!

Just a quick post to say that we have two new songs up on our myspace..we'll be uploading two new songs a week until our EP release party so you can check them out..

Tonight we're playing up in Cardiff Barfly.Someone tells me Frank Turner is playing in Cardiff tonight,but that's ok.I think he sucks anyway.

If anyone is reading this and is stuck for something to do on All Hallows Eve this year..Get in touch,we have a super swell Party/Show planned at our friend Corbin's house.

The Arteries are having a blast on tour in the states,My brother emailed me from North Carolina last night to tell me beer was a dollar.I'm really jealous,especially when i spent all day in A&E!They didn't even have any beer there..!

Anyways..Get in touch about a release show ticket if you havn't already done so,also Halloween if you want to rock out and have a ghoulish good time give me an email.

Oh yeah..My good friend Jason from Washington DC has just finished a short slasher film,we're on the soundtrack..I'll try find the link and post it here..

A great man once said..
"I'll be back...."

Oh check out the EP Artwork..It has changed slightly since,but just to give you the idea..

Hello The Internet.


So,This is the first post I've ever written on here,here I am writing this sat at my desk in work chugging on what must be,my 100th coffee in the last 24 hours!So,bare with me whilst i battle sleep depravation..I'll try to keep it short.


Basically,For the last year,We've been recording our EP,We've hit some snags along the way,but it's been a learning curve to say the least.


Last night myself and mike finally left James' place at 3.58am after finishing the final mixes and uploading the mastering copies to a FTP(webnerd term for a window you can drop stuff into)which can only described as being like going on a dinner date with that dude from simply red and chris de burgh.I hate simply red.


We get our final mixes back this evening after the nice man at metropolis mastering(The clash,The killers,The Beatles remasters,The smiths,Genesis,Oasis and led zeppelin to name a few!!Pretty crazy!)So i'll let you know how that goes..I'm pretty excited..


We have some sweet shows coming up( http://www.myspace.com/portraits )namely the EP launch which is in the new Sigma!which i went to check out the other day!It's going to be super nice when it's all finished in there.


If you want to buy a ticket send me a mail on alastairjenkins@hotmail.com


With a ticket you get a copy of our EP and a glass of Champagne on the door and you also get to see three of my favourite welsh bands, The Arteries,Bedford falls and solutions!


This weekend our new myspace will be up and running,with a new song,new snazzy cool dude look and a video.I'll keep you posted on that..
So yeah..I've written more than i thought,I'm off for a coffee..here I am palpatation city,take your best shot..

Love


Alastair
