Hello Grammaticians, the first leg of our tour supporting The Futureheads around the weirdest Uni’s in the UK is well and truly FIN. The good news is that The Futureheads are 100% geezer material and we’ve had no problems in the getting along stakes. We seem to have plenty in common…an appreciation of fine riders and lashings of northern wit are seeing us gel just fine.
Uxbridge was Emilia’s first gig as a Grammatic and she put in a sterling performance. The truth is, we’ve been heroically under rehearsed for this tour due to some wacky and quite baffling admin decisions that we’ll take no responsibility for. After four gigs we’re beginning to find our feet on stage…quite how Emilia has managed is beyond me, the Swedes are cut from a different cloth entirely and her life is a brave one.
Here are a few photo’s that we’ve taken so far. Believe us when we say there are some great ones on their way, we just need to take them off various cameras.

Rider No.1. More to follow.
Trev setting shit up.
Gig no.1.
So, what the fuck is going on with this single? Well, it certainly WILL NOT be coming out March 3rd, but shouldn’t be hitting the shops too long afterward. Videos must be made, artwork designed and label shiz confirmed…the powers that be have thrown us off track once more. Anyway, both recordings have been in the can for some time and we’ll have them online as soon as it becomes viable to do so. We promise it will be worth the wait…
