BOOM THE CAT REMIX
Boom The Cat's remix came in last week - stop/start computer game minimalism and a cutup squeaky Dan on top. We decided it's the MARIO REMIX

YES SIR IDOL REMIX
Idol rewrites EVERYTHING in this fanstastic offbeat Halloween remix - like Toxic, or Dandi Wind, but also like someone's about to kill you

LEO NEVILO REMIX
Austrian electronica from Leo Nevilo - starts like a giant 70s starship before stop-start robot beats and vintage vocoders make it go all amazing-prog-dance on you.

SKG REMIX
Screams, evil clowns, carcrashes, police sirens, modem synth lines and um...Dan. EASILY the strangest and scariest so far from Reading's SKG.

THE LOVE YOU TIGERS REMIX
Synth pop with ADD, changes every ten seconds, all with cool 80's Catchphrase drum bits and toy bleeps.

TOMAS J REMIX
Off-kilter synth lines, unmolested drumbeats, really weird blips and distorted vocals from Tomas J. He says he fucked up our song. We like that.

MILAN Prada City Welcomes BAF

We went to Milan this weekend to play London Loves. Apparently, simply EVERYONE has played London Loves, and it was extra exciting as we were their first gig of the new season. We kicked off the weekend with cheap torygraphs and easyjet flights (we're not really 80 year old conservatives, but you got free water with the torygraph, and we have no morals)





The flight was quick. We knew we were almost there when we saw the mountains.



The best thing about the Linate was the crazy wide buses. We want one. Do you rekon you can get crazy wide tour buses? This time next year...



We got picked up and taken to soundcheck, and then to our hotel. Here is Tobias's hotel room.



We had a few hours to kill so we went for a wander, but then we bumped into the owner of the club, who took us for pre-drink drinks.



After that we went to the club where our wonderful hosts gave us more drinks. We drank an awful lot of drinks. Here are our wonderful hosts...




After all those drinks, Club Pastic's fantastically painted walls did not help our journey to the stage. We hope everyone watching was a drunk as we were. At one point I accidentally tripped over Tobias and pulled out all his effects. Oops.



The next afternoon we went wandering around the immediate area of Milan. We managed to fit in a bit of touristing, but we didn't have time to figure out where the centre was. We just wandered around our suburb and took some photos.




And then we went home. I think we were all a bit hungover.

SPREE VIDEO

LOOK!! The guys at True Grit did a video for Spree, intended to accompany our File Under WOLVES EP release. But then things all went pear shaped and confusing and we got sidetracked.

BUT HERE IT IS

We took the high road...

We went to Scotland at the weekend - och aye it was fun, pal. Yup. Here's our ship's log. First, we drove for ten hours using dubious directions from Ian's Dad that involved Carlisle [that's on the OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTRY from Edinburgh, doh]



Ten hours is a long time, so obviously we needed to stop many times for food and toilet breaks. Especially Mark. He's like a small child.

We got there really late, just before soundcheck for the first gig at Dogtooth. The people of Scotland were aware of our arrival and were very welcoming.



Of course, being Cornish, Tobias empathised with them and all was well. So well in fact that ALL the people of Scotland danced.



We played songs and Suzie G took some photos of us. The stage was low so we got to dance around in the crowd. We NEVER get to do that any more...



The Dogtooth girls played more tracks, everybody drank beer and danced, and I managed to take the only half decent photo of the night. Then some band played, but we'd never heard of them. They were RUBBISH




The next morning, we surprised our hosts by taking horrible photos of them on their laptops.



And then we went Touristing. Tobias is incredibly good at Touristing, and we always try and get a bit in when we go to new cities. He went to Edinburgh Castle.



and Greyfriars Bobby



He saw some bagpipers



and went down a close



and sampled the local culture



At which point, we all went to the pub for some Real Ale.



And then we played our second gig of the weekend, at Cabaret Voltaire. It wasn't as busy, but it was All Ages, and the people there were moving like Dance Bastards. It was great. But we don't have any photos of it, so here's us sitting in their REALLY NICE dressing room before the show.



One of the great things about All Ages nights is that they all end quite early, so we could all go out and drink afterwards. Tobias was so happy at this, his face melted. Mark and Ian watched in awe.




And then the next day we drove home for another ten hours. We took a tiny little road that took ages, but the screnery was well nice. It was raining though...



Ah, so Edinburgh was supersupersuper. The people were all lovely, and the dogtooth girls were AMAZING for putting us up BOTH NIGHTS. You should all go to Edinburgh.

The End

BAF on 20 Jazz Funk Greats

Okay so i'm back from Bestival, and i took a break from work to do the regular trawl through my favourite mp3 blogs, when I was halted at my very first destination, 20 Jazz Funk Greats and saw that the new post was about our good selves and some band called Late of The Pier. Whoever the fuck they are.

We get namechecked and endorsed by one of the best mp3 blogs online. Mmm my black Tuesday doesn't seem quite so bad now. Don't do K kids. Start a band instead.

Here is a video of System Shock



This is a key influence of Bolt Action Five. Watch and learn
