Calling all tea leaves, robbers, and lovers of a five finger discount! SS is at your mercy! Well, in all honesty, after hearing on the grapevine that ANOTHER band has had some of their musical equipment literally pinched from their clawing hands, I immediately wanted to join in the fruitful beheading. Happily passing Johnny Foreigner’s italicised frustrated message on to the thrifty gig-goer at their turbulent Leeds gig, I, with the band, challenge the unknown drunken soul, who got that ever bit to righteous and decided to take revenge on that chaotic night: Hi, yesterday was the most YAY!!!/NO!! off our most YAY!!/NO!! tour yet. Parking tickets and powercuts and our guitars/amps/shoes falling apart, that was a point at the end of the show where I was floating around on my back in the top of the audience with a big dumb smile realising that all this is probably worth it. And then someone robbed my microphone and sort of tarnished the evening. I’m sick of whining musicians so I'll not dwell on us being another 100 quid down, but the sentimental value of that sm58 to the person who trustingly lent it to me isn't something we can replace by jacking up shirt prices or not eating for a couple of days. If you know our band, then you'll know which we'd sooner do, and the love in the room last night was proof to us that we're justified in skinting ourselves to do this band. I reckon some drunk kidlet took it in revenge for having to wait round while the venue fixed it's flux capacitor. well done, you really showed them. We're doing a free show in December, it'll probably be billed as an apology for last night but really we just love what we do, any excuse. If you bring us the severed head of the guy who robbed our mic, we'll give you our gin. We won't have much else to offer any more. Thx leeds, 99percent of you are wonderful xxx" Singer and guitarist Alexe.
