Well now you've gone and made this awkward...

We've got about a month or so of downtime at the moment so that Francis can go on holiday, James can find a job, I can move house and Adam can see how many billiard balls he can fit in his mouth, so now seems as good a time as any for an update. Tour number three of the year is now done, and the week long jaunt around the country with Calvinball and Cynics was great, with highlights including:

-A house show in a fourth floor flat
-Deep fried everything
-The two minutes a day that Giles was awake
-Matt Calvinball losing a wrestling match to Kieran
-Sketchy rollercoasters
-Dressing like Rufio
-Pointing out to the owner of a Scottish chip shop that "I'm going back to the UK tomorrow, so I need my change in UK money..."
-Conorball faceplanting a pub carpet
-Manchfester
-More things that are probably funnier but i forgot.

I think Kieran has done a quick summary on Moving North, so be sure to check that out, along with all the other fun shit on there. Obviously massive thanks to everyone who put us on, came to a show, let us sleep on their floor.

Anyhoo, our next show is on the 21st of August at No-Fest in Peterborough, and then we're back in semi-regular action in September, when we have the pleasure of supporting some of our favourite bands, including Nothington, Off With Their Heads, and Astpai (who I have a feeling are about to release one of the albums of the year). We're also ridiculously excited to announce that we will be supporting The Menzingers on their November UK tour. So, at the minute, our upcoming shows are as follows:


August
21st- Peterborough- Club Dissident (No-Fest)

September
7th- Lincoln- Library Bar (w/Astpai)
8th- Manchester- The Oxford (w/Astpai)
16th- Derby- Venue TBC (w/Off With Their Heads)

November
11th- Kingston- Fighting Cocks (w/The Menzingers)
12th- Southampton- Unit Club (w/The Menzingers)
13th- Swansea- Sigma (w/The Menzingers)
14th-Bristol- The Croft (w/The Menzingers)
15th- Manchester- Venue TBC (w/The Menzingers)
16th- Glasgow- 13th Note (w/The Menzingers)
17th- Newcastle- Northumberland Arms (w/The Menzingers)
18th- Derby- The Bell Hotel (w/The Menzingers)
19th- Peterborough- Club Revolution (w/The Menzingers)
20th- London- Old Blue Last (w/The Menzingers)

So that's pretty much what's happening with us. For up to date tour dates and that go to our myspace (www.myspace.com/leaguesapartmusic), and keep checking back here for more inane chatter. It'll be fun. Honest. Oh and go here and listen to some Astpai. It'll make you a better person.

I knew you guys were smart when you bailed out of the car.

Well the regularly updating this page thing hasn't been going too well. Oops. The last few months have been eventful to say the least, our first CD 'To Anywhere' came out on the 21st of March on TNSrecords, and you can buy it either from them at www.tnsrecords.co.uk, or from our webstore.
We will also be featuring on a 4-way split which will be out in April on Happy Days Records, also featuring Rooftops, Sammy's Fatal Mistake and This Business Is Closed.

Show wise, we've been doing as many as possible recently, including a support slot with Nothington in Edinburgh last month, North West Is Best Fest in Harrow last week , and a couple of awesome Lincoln House shows. A particular highlight was our CD launch show last week at Kro Bar in Manchester, which was also the first show put on by Moving North, with an amazing lineup featuring The Arteries, Bangers, Above Them and Just Panic. Check out their page, as they're putting on some mint shows in the future and it will help Kieran in his quest to become the emperor of punk rock.

Our first proper tour starts on the 1st of April in Manchester at The Retro Bar, and we will be in Europe from the 4th to the 11th, playing in Belgium, Austria (thanks to the lovely 7YearsBadLuck), Switzerland and France, so providing we don't all die from severe sharpie/alcohol poisoning there will be a tour diary which will be posted on here. Honest.

Hey... a math award!

Oh hi there. Welcome to another pseudo website for this band. Hopefully we'll be able to add a few cool videos, tour diaries and other crap to this, but until we steal a video camera and go on tour, it's going to be pretty dull.

But anyway, here's what's happening at the minute with us. We've just finished recording our debut EP
, which will hopefully be mastered and out by the end of march or something. We've also got a load of shiny new t-shirts and stickers if anyone would like to come to our shows and buy them.

We've got three shows this week with the lovely 7YearsBadLuck from Austria, which is going to be nice and messy, and then we're supporting Nothington in Edinburgh at the end of the month. Well that's the plan but knowing our luck we'll break down somewhere in the Lake District and get buggered to death by sheep. Stoked.

So yeah, everything's coming along quite nicely at the minute. Next time I might even have interesting things to say and not wander off into musings on beastiality. One can only dream. In the meantime, come to a show, get totally stoked then buy all our stuff. Fuck a hologram.
