Come to my band's single launch party. Everyone.

Saturday, 12th November at The Others, 6-8 Manor Road, Stoke Newington. From 8 til late. Bands, DJs and fun! Free Entry upon purchace of the single-hah! (it'll only be a few quid)

I expect to see every single London Barbelither there with bells on.

For those of us who can't make it, how do we get ahold of the single anyway?

mondo a-go-go

17:28 / 03.11.05

I am so there. Am not going to wear bells, though.

Stoatie. Stoatie? STOATIE.
(prev. Stoatie's power level is >9000)

18:39 / 03.11.05

I may wear bells, though it seems unlikely, to be fair.

00:16 / 04.11.05

Hmmm, bells. I don't think I have any. How about a gong?

Oh, yes, and I will be there, surprisingly enough!

10:06 / 04.11.05

~Well I have a bell and might just wear it. Don't forget to mention that your support is the inimitable group Owls, with jingle jangle gypsy pirate campfire magic. Will be a fantastic party indeed.

14:13 / 05.11.05

for now, we're only selling the single at gigs, but will probably sell it via the website soemtime soon.

Stoatie. Stoatie? STOATIE.

01:06 / 06.11.05

Can't you hang around outside schools and sell it there?

Hey, it worked for crack...

23:15 / 10.11.05

Just bumping this up as it's almost time. Do you think anyone wil cover "Hell's Bells"? I'd sort of like to see Mono sing that.

Stoatie. Stoatie? STOATIE.
(prev. Stoatie's power level is >9000)

10:33 / 11.11.05

That would indeed be \m/. Although I think Ring The Bells by Leonard Cohen would be more likely.

Tamara Willett Hurt

10:44 / 11.11.05

Will definitely be attending this.

Gypsy Lantern

11:05 / 11.11.05

What time will you be on stage? I might not be able to get there till 9:30-10pm... Will I have missed you play by then?

12:13 / 11.11.05

Just to get the answer in, the stage times now seem to be sort of 9pm for Owls, 10 for Morning Bride. So GL, you should be fine for time. But hurry up!

Gypsy Lantern

13:23 / 11.11.05

Cool, I reckon I'll be able to make it for 10.

15:39 / 11.11.05

super. duper.

i'm starting to get nervous now. no one is allowed to make funny facs at me while i'm singing, okay?

and i think that this will be the first MB gig without a cover song!

What's the nearest station/tube? I may saunter along under cover of darkness.

Gypsy Lantern

15:58 / 11.11.05

What's the nearest station/tube?

Ha! Stoke Newington has no need for your new fangled "tube stations"

Tamara Willett Hurt

17:20 / 11.11.05

It does have a train station though.

fridgemagnet

17:46 / 11.11.05

If anyone can't manage to be there with bells on, might I suggest a cherry on top instead?

18:06 / 11.11.05

You'll want to check your A-Z to save me writing paragraphs of ridiculous directions. It's quite easy to get to but hard to explain. I just bought a new dress and yelled at the guy who runs the venue. It's going to be fun! Can everyone please dis the artwork hanging around? Except for Adrian of course.

mondo a-go-go

19:50 / 11.11.05

Ooh Lilly, were you yelling at Mr Stoned-and-Paranoid or at Mr Too-Stoned-to-Care?

Evil Scientist, you can get a train from Liverpool Street to Stoke Newington station, which is on Stamford Hill. If you cross the street and walk up the hill, you'll come to Manor Road very quickly.

Alternatively, you can get a 73 or a 476 bus from Euston, Kings Cross or Angel which should take between 15-35mins, depending on where you board and on traffic. They also stop on Stamford Hill. You should get off more-or-less opposite the station. You'll know if you've gone too far because you'll have passed Manor Road and reached the Safeways, so get off there instead and walk back down the hill.

The Others is in a room above a pool hall, which is not immediately obvious. Some of us you'll have seen photos of, so we probably will be more immediately obvious. And I'll probably be wearing red trousers.

Stoatie. Stoatie? STOATIE.
(prev. Stoatie's power level is >9000)

00:55 / 12.11.05

I'll be wearing trousers of some sort, as well. Spiky bleached-blonde hair, glasses, a bunch of piercings, and I imagine clothes in some shade or other of black. I'll probably be holding some kind of drink.

11:45 / 12.11.05

To add to Anna's directions, here's a map, and The Others is easy to get to by rail from Liverpool Street to Stoke Newington Station or on buses 67, 73, 76, 106 (stops right outside, a 10-15min ride from Finsbury Park underground), 149, 243, 393 and 476.

Stoatie:

I'll probably be holding some kind of drink.

A pink one?

Lilly:

Can everyone please dis the artwork hanging around? Except for Adrian of course.

For reference, Adrian's is the artwork above the bar. It's good.

Also, isn't it a new exhibition now though since the Drones Club double-booking experience?

As for identifying me, I'll be with Lilly or Stoatie or Anna or any other Barbelithbarians I know who are there. Alternately there is a picture of me here, but hopefully I won't look so drunk. Oh, and I doubt I'll be wearing the shawl either this time.

Brigade du jour

14:20 / 12.11.05

Please don't hate me, Mono, but I can't make it tonight. If it makes you feel any better, I'm currently listening to the stuff you've got on the website and am now really (and rightfully) jealous and pissed off.

I shall keep an eye out (and badger Stoatie (wow, can you verb-animal a noun-animal? Well I just did anyway) IRL for information) for the next time Morning Bride grace the London stage.

Excellent, excellent luck!

17:20 / 12.11.05

badger Stoatie

Ah, if only you knew! Or you might anyway, about the Badger-Stoatie connection.

10:04 / 13.11.05

Well wasn't that a spiffy night! Thanks to everyone for a great time and to Morning Bride and Owls for a great show.
Nothing beats a fantastic new pair of shoes!

ghadis

11:54 / 13.11.05

Agreed. That was a fantastic night. Mono, your bands great! Gonna go and have alisten to that CD now! Cheers!

Stoatie. Stoatie? STOATIE.

12:04 / 13.11.05

That was indeed cool, but boy do I feel shit today. Usually the sign of a good night...

12:26 / 13.11.05

What fun indeed, and somehow an excellent lark to dress up in a suit to complement Lilly's new dress and shoes. MB and Owls were fab, and good to see a line of Barbelithbarians taking up half the front row by the end of the show.

We carried on well into the night on a raft of the MB single on repeat at least twice (well, it's the first time it's been played out on a PA in a venue, y'see) and much skatastic skanking to follow.

Stoatie. Stoatie? STOATIE.
(prev. Stoatie's power level is >9000)

13:11 / 13.11.05

And of course the guy who got kicked out hanging around outside yelling about the place being full of people in Throbbing Gristle T-shirts...

...as the only person in there, as far as I'm aware, who was actually wearing one, I feel I've garnered a certain amount of fame there...

20:53 / 13.11.05

There there, don't let it all go to your head. Stoatie I mean with the TG fame and all. I'm so tired! I've had so many people saying to me how they only got so many hours sleep. I've. Had. None. I know, my own fault for having a child and letting her get a bad cold and also for having to work, etc. but damn. I'm so tired...

Stoatie. Stoatie? STOATIE.

21:07 / 13.11.05

Sleep, lilly. Sleep well. (Review in the post, so to speak.)

09:55 / 14.11.05

thanks everyone for coming!!! it was really a fun nught and i'm still recovering...

23:01 / 14.11.05

It was a fun nught! Best one I've had in yeats!
