I wanted to add something to Mr Drew's blog because the London show at the Scala was so awesome. Thankyou for making it so special, it was the biggest headline London show we've done so far and will remain in my memory as a landmark gig. From seeing my face adorning the massive poster outside to being shown the Die So Fluid tattoo on Shauna's bum in front of the stage,hehe, standing before several hundred people and feeling the energy in the air, it was such a memorable night,all the more meaningful to me now that I live in the States.There's a great review up already at www.Altsound.com with some ace pics. We had gone up to the Total Rock studios and recorded an interview with them in the afternoon, and done several interviews after soundcheck. We just heard today that we have the front cover of Nocturnal magazine when my interview comes out. Coldchester was indeed a contrast, and I ended up chastising a support act for playing slot machines through our set and carrying out their gear through the audience . It wasn't that they didn't listen, it was that they wanted pictures with me beforehand, and were all 'great set ' at the end. I just can't stand the fakeness.most people know i don't kick off without good reason, it's pretty rare. Anyway, i got an apology.I think it was an astrologically marred day as I also developed a painful mysterious lump in my arm that I was worried could be one of those spider eggs that explodes and lots of tiny ones pour out, and that evening me and mr drew got the joke shower from hell that only squirted water out the sides at intervals. i somehow whacked my head against the wall trying to turn the taps without drenching the whole room. Anyway, the next day the fan belt frayed on the van and we had to drive at a snails pace to Milton Keynes, we arrived nicely par boiled but in one piece as there's no windows that open in the back of the bus!Thanks to our best boys Frazer and Milly for getting us through this manic period unscathed. This is the rock n roll lifestyle, one day it's 'business class flight to Switzerland please, oooo free profiteroles and champagne' and the next it's 'has anyone got a pair of tights we can use as a fan belt?' Milton Keynes was not the best organised gig and ran pretty late, and our fab Dutch Black Bellies friends who flew over to see us in London had also travelled out to MK and were going to miss the show to catch their train. Black Sonic graciously swapped stage times with us to fix the situation,(they rock) and a great crowd materialised StarTrek style.i really enjoyed playing and it was a good end to that particular run of dates. I solved the heat problem by dumping a bottle of water on my head which gave me one panda Kiss eye but it gave everyone a little shower when i shook my head. We showed our appreciation the BS by rockin out to their set and getting them all shots. they took their tops off , it's unfair I can't do that! Next morning we got a replacement fanbelt and headed back to London the record an xfm session. You'll be able to hear four live tracks taken from the new album on Ian Camfields Rock Show. Today it was up fairly early, into gladrags, into taxi straight to the Scuzz tv studio to film our Scuzz TV Takeover! Make sure you catch us playing some favourite vids from the Scuzz archives and introducing Mercury to the Scuzz viewers, me with a particularly husky tone to my voice today :D I wanted to wear my green and black cowboy boots but it was filmed against a green screen and I didn't want to appear as the girl with invisible feet!
