In the Hurt Locker - This is our drummer Wicksy's new phrase for being chronically hungover which he coined one morning when he COULD NOT MOVE FROM MY SOFA. There's a photo on facebook somewhere so look it up.
ANYWAY. I know, I know, it's been ages since our last blog. I've been busy, alright, bigdealwhatdoyouwannadohaveafightaboutit?
So plenty of news. A member of the Barlights went down to Abbey Road for the musicians' masterclass. Labryinth was there. Brrrrap. Also gave a couple of albums to Tom Robinson and Steve Lamacq.
They make splendid coasters.
We've been practising hard for a little tour we're doing in April to mark the release of a download single from our second album - the single is going to be Colour in Your Eyes. HEY - check out this cover we did. The photo was taken by our uber-talented friend Bish:
Pic A: Super, agreed?
The actual dates we'll announce on the bookface shortly. Hopefully we'll be able to hit a town or city near you.
Time for a new calendar:
The Barlights, having become bored with the regular way of counting years have decided to redo it. Frankly, the numbers are getting too high and it's getting harder to add and subtract years when you're working out how long it's been or will be since or until something.
Still with me?
SO. It's based around our bassist. For those who know him as Chase, it's probably best to advise that for the last or so months he's become known as....Bice. Due to idiotic reasons that started with a pronunciation by a northern girl, moved through a computer game played by one of our more amusing friends, and finally amended one last time due to another computer game and then shortened. Deep breath. SO WHAT YOU KNOW AS 1982 is YEAR ZERO. We are currently in the year 29 AC. Jesus, if you believe that sort of thing, was born in 1982 BB. Par example:
KEY: AC - After Chase / BB - Before Bice
I'm making it my mission to do more blogs so expect another soon which will include the recipe for the the world-famous "Pasta Sheeeeeeet". I say world famous, I mean Wicksy and Stu famous. (Stu is my housemate. he's in Thailand....hello Stu, if you take time out to read this).
In the meantime, before the tour, we're at the Relentless Garage (London N5, near the Highbury & Islington Tube Stop) on 17th March so come alongalongalong.
So, signing off for now.
Love, tBl's.
