Gutted.
I went to see Pretty Girls Make Graves play a heartbreakingly mediocre show last time TMS played Manchester and I'm not sure I'll be in town for the next one :'(
PS: Can I plug a gig?
Worth The Wax presents SJ ESAU plus guests and an aftershow booze up. Thirsty Scholar, Manchester. 26/3/07. £4. myspace.com/worththewax
Oooh.
That Manchester one is the day after my birthday! Though I don't expect I'll be able to hoodwink anyone into going.
I was listening to them for a bit on the bus today and the way that '2am' sounds makes me feel officially weird.
Coventry Gig
Is with Souvaris no less! That's at least two reasons to go now! Can't wait!

The Railway in Winchester on 28th April!
If anyone cares, Ejector Seat are putting it on...
