These people are so 'other' that I need to share them with you - hoping to see them live in the smallest city in the UK on the 27th.

You have to understand that right now it's mackerel season.

Then there's the kids... [shudders] Oh and we got a dog. [more shudders]

....."I'd forgotten about you until today."... Charmed I'm sure.

So what's the coup, Any projects on the go?

Anything on the go? Yes but I've not been taking photos (not perfected yet).
I like mackerel, one of my favorites.

I saw them in Cambridge, the guy with the long hair quietly took out his ponytail and headbanged through Back In Black, it rocked :)

This weekend I saw a local 3-piece cover Kraftwerk's Das Model with two guitars and a violin (amplified). I was impressed. L

Their Smells Like Teen Spirit is truly something to behold.
I thought that the Mnozil dudes were some kind of Mariachi outfit - but it looks like they're rocking the Teutonic-ness.

Wow, I've not heard that name since the late eighties. Some of the band members where on the gatefold of the Secret Policeman's Ball album - had them down as Scottish Ladies Front mind!

Wierd, I was wasting time on YouTube yesterday and looked at some of their stuff.
Do see The Bad Shepherds if you get the chance.
