8/31 Glasgow - Maryhill Com. 9/1 Glasgow - Maryhill Com.
Not, repeat NOT from Jeepster :) From my sofa I can confirm that I've heard that they will play Maryhill Community Centre on these dates, that the gigs will be "warm-ups" and therefore were probably going to get announced in a more cosy way just before, and that Matador might get a little bottom slap. I doubt very much whether you can get tickets and such yet, but there's a detective on the case. I think the band are afraid they might be crap, sorry I mean a bit rusty (is that libel?), and so don't want this announced as a full-blown gig, but were going to tell us all nearer the time. It'll be very much a lemonade and crisps affair I think, just like the do-dah concert at the church hall. By the way lots of people were very sweet about my grrry message to the list earlier - thanks for being kind and suggesting some stuff, and also for responding to my pleas. I'm still at home and feeling a bit grotty but hopefully I'll be bright as a button soon. Oh and someone on indiepop suggested an idea that I think is brilliant, but won't be executed due to the fact it's too much trouble. But we could all bandy together to bid for Stevie's Tigermilk, each put in say 2 quid, get the damn things out the hands of some fat slug who's got more money than sense, and then have a raffle HERE amongst the people who paid 2 quid. That way someone who doesn't own a small office building may still have their very own copy. For those whose hearts are set on it. Just an idea but I'm afraid I haven't got the energy to organise it :) This one's had a lot of publicity though and so I suspect it will go for a ridiculous amount of money, and therefore not worth our while doing, but it's in a good cause I guess. They'll be some people with M.E. who go to that clinic so I'm not moaning. Over and out from me, Splat and the sofa. honey xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
