Plus becasue of Blake's ways im now the drummer for runaround kids, im pretty exited but also nervous that my first gig with them is in london. Abi is filming the trip so i guess it'll all be on youtube at some point. we'll let you know

Love love - Rob x

Finish him!

Howdy,

Well as i was about to begin this blog i noticed that we now have 10 followers. We appreciate each and everyone of you for being interested (or seeming so) in our drone.

We have a new song and we'll be showing it the world (the small and kind audience at Inns of Court) at the Bambinos EP launch, which we are really looking forward to.

If you want to know what Rob is up to, he just typed this wonderful anecdote to me right this minute "ive just unlocked this little bowling mini game on that tekken game i got for my psp." So you all know Rob is doing just fine. He's in the process of opening a bank account too. Can you believe that?! He's managed to cope going place to place without bank accounts. Anyway another of the boring Rob trivia before we all fall asleep slap, bang on our keyboards...Oh one more actually. Last Sunday we had a Tekken tournament and well in the words of the deep, scary voice over - "YOU WIN" - (me)

I'd say this is a good place to stop talking. Well, typing.

Night night,

abi x

New.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY

s'up friends?


So it's a year that is new and here and we'll be better at up keeping our blog and be less like a child who no longer has the most excitement for their new pet and won't clean it's hutch out.
We'll be reporting all Jeremiah relating news, songs, recordings, gigs, videos, makings, friends, scandals - (the scandal will all be Rob's doing, i'm sure.)

So January has a couple of installments:




First off, our split Heart Felt has had some nice feedback so far. If you'd like to purchase this little gem containing 2 tracks from our beloved van dam movies fans, IMP and 2 from us then visit this website:

Rob and I are practicing next Saturday and having a few fights on Tekken. We've both got some new songs in the works and we hope to be playing those at our next gig which is the 31st January at the Bambinos' ep Launch. Inns Of Court, Wakefield, 7pm. Hope you can make it!

Hi.

Nothing Much

YO! well... its been a while... we dont have much to report really, the theatre gig went well, even though we were pretty dam nervous. The Heart Felt Ep is coming out mid this month so we'll have some news then.

In other news were still pretty bad at the quiz we go to every tuesday at the nation of shop keepers. if any one wants to join our team your welcome cos we need more people ahah.

Nothing much has changed really. Abi's going to uni now so we dont have as much time to practice or play, oh yeah we are stopping gigging until we get some more gigs as a full band! because we say so! because we can do that!

Sorry for the slow news!! xx

-Rob x

Putting the feeling in heartfelt.

As you may know we have been residing in Rob Slater's bedroom studio for many days recording the tracks that are going to be featured on the Heartfelt E.P alongside IMP. This is Robert Slater:

This is also Robert Slater:



The tracks are sounding really great so far! It's always hilarious and fun recording with rob and you usually produce something pretty special out of the songs you go there to record. Rob and i finished all our parts yesterday and now i'm completely wiped out. I suppose 3 hours sleeps and too much red wine the night before didn't help to keep my energy. We ate fish and chips and they were yummy so that boosted up the spirit to get going. Slater kicking my arse on tekken, did not. HOW CAN HE BEAT ME I THOUGHT I WAS THE QUEEN OF TEKKEN.

We have a busy Jeremiah week next week as we have 3 performances to do!

1 - We are doing an acoustic show at the theatre in the bar for their launch. This will include dressing classy, performing for an hour, in front of fat cats and arty associates and the like. EXCITED! (this is on the 17th and is an invite event only but im going to film it so you can see whether we made any faux pas (ha ha) haha?)

2- Next up is a FREE show at Carpe Diem in Leeds on the 18th in which we hope you all can make! Again it will be acoustic but we're going to try and put some little extras in their.

3- End of the mini tour - Yep that's right, i'm classing it as a mini tour - is at Escobar as an acoustic set again (maybe the rest of our band hate us) with Tiny Planets of which Rob Slater drums for and he drums for Jeremiah when we're a big band so we don't wanna tire that machine out! That's why we're acoustic. Wonderswan and Imp are also playing i do believe! So be sure to come down to that if you couldnt come to the other shows or you enjoy stalking us.

NEWSFLASH!

And if you all you eager Jeremiah fans out there (tumble weed enters and floats by) can't wait that long we have a show THIS SUNDAY which is TOMORROW 13TH SEPTEMBER! We are the opening slot for our good friends The Spills. It's the celebratory gig of their single launch. We will be playing acoustic as Slater is the leading man for The Spills. Man he must be sick of seeing us by now!


Okay we'll leave you alone now. But we shall leave you with this:

Sunday!

Come and put a smile on their faces.

Heart Felt Recording

Hiya! I went to Slaters (Irene Cottege Studios) yesterday to record the bass and drums for our half of the split Ep we are doing with IMP entitled 'Heart Felt Ep'. It sounds really good so far. Slater has done the drums which makes the songs 10x better anyway haha. The songs we are doing are... 'I'd Rarther be Here' and a new song which no one has heard, not even us because we havnt finished it. It has a working title of 'I Was Your Knot' but that may change before the Ep is out.

But yeah thats it really, nothing much else has happened.

Oh yeah me and Abi and also Matty Smith and Beth Chesworth went to a music quiz in leeds on Tuesday. Our team was called 'Shut up Simon' on account of us hearing someone telling someone called Simon to shut up. We didnt do too bad, 20/40. avarage? Well we are going next week to try our luck again so we'll tell you what happens

-Rob xx

this has made me happy

So it's pretty self indulgent to post things im only excited about but i'm going to do it anyway.



I am so excited for the album and i loved this video. It cheered me up a hell of a lot.

In other news:

rob is now back from leeds festival, with all his limbs remaining. So we're going to be Jeremiahing up everything this next couple of weeks. We're recording at our good friend, rob slater's house soon for the two tracks we're submitting for a split ep with IMP. We're really excited about that. The ep is going to be entitled 'Heartfelt'. That's all we really know right now. It will have a track from us no one has heard yet. Hell we havent heard it all yet because we haven't finished writing it but hopefully it will form smoothly.

A blog about free singles we're giving out will be here soon.

SWEET DREAMS EVERYONE.

abi

missing out.

Robs at leeds festival and he saw Metric today. im jealous but i won't give him the satisfaction of knowing that. I'm kinda glad im not a leeds fest this year but i would have loved to have seen Metric. I'm drawing a poster at the moment for our gig at carpe diem. I have no idea who else is playing and it doesn't say on the promoters website so i guess im just going to have to put our name on it. I don't think that would drive people to come. I'm excited for the gig. it's on the 18th september but it's without the extended family and will just be rob and i doing an acoustic set but i think we're going to plan some extras in it somewhere. If you're reading this come to the show its FREE on the 18th September at carpe diem in leeds. We might do some drawings and leave them on the stage if anyone wants to take one home. Or we might put them inside the singles we're giving out for FREE also. I'll do another blog about that with the details.

The day before that gig we are performing and providing music for the theatre launch event in the bar. I'm looking forward to that, as it's a different kind of performing/gig format. im going to take my camera and try and film it so we can post it for your to fix your goggles on. This might help as it's a private invite event i think.

I got caught in the rain today in just jeans and tshirt and the rain water was absolutely freezing and i starting getting this chesty cough and felt generally naff so i had to go home. This means i had to miss a free all dayer gig that my friend put on - Including some local favourites and Jeffrey Lewis. So i ate spicy noodles wrapped in my dressing gown listening to the rain. fun.

Band Picture

We just thought we would show you the only picture we have of us from the hop gig as a full band, its just a picture we got outside after the gig, I'm not sure if there is any pictures of us playing haha

From left to right: (If you don't already know)

Rob B, Tom, Abi, Jim, Rob S, Matty, Johnny

Also guess what starts tonight... X factor, i actually hate myself for being exited for it but if Cheryl Cole is on the telle, i have to watch it. Abi will be watching it too but for different reasons,

ey? ey?

-Robx

What she said...

I was going to do a blog about the gig but abi has already said all i wanted to say... bitch.

So instead ill talk about our audition thing we had today at wakefield theatre. Me and Abi met at the bus station at about 10 o'clock (early start, i had to bloody get up at 9:00... AM!) anyway... we arrived nervously at the theatre at about 10:20, we had to be there at 10:30 but its better to be early than late, ey? We asked for 'Keely'? 'Keeli'? at the box office and she came down to meet us. she was a very nice woman, we followed her upstairs to the bar and we played a couple of songs, these were The Wash and Juniors. she really liked them and she said she definitely wants us to play! she also said we should go into the wedding trade?

She apologised that she couldn't pay us (we didn't even expect to get paid) but she said we could have a couple of free tickets for the show they are promoting! cant wait.

-Rob x

It's gone.

The gig has been and gone and it felt brilliant!



That's right kids, SOLD OUT! By the way we couldn't move and the heat nearly melted us, we can verify that it definitely did sell out.

Okay so we had 7 people on stage and it was pretty cosy up there but it felt amazing, a massive family band super group! Hearing our once small songs with a full band sounded great. Rob Slater's drumming in incredible, it literally feels like the sound waves are going to lift you off the ground. We made some little mistakes but i don't think anyone could tell.

Our set list was:

- I'd Rather Be Here
- The Wash
- Matter Of Time
- In The Desert
- Do Whatever He Says
- Juniors
---------------------

All in all i thought the songs flowed together well. I was so nervous when it came to singing In The Desert but i really enjoyed it. It sounds super cheesy but when i was full of nerves i just looked up for a second during this song and saw jay and all my friends faces glowing under the neon lighting of that stage lights and just filled with utter joy and excitement. I felt very humbled by the whole thing. The fact all these wonderful, kind musicians took time out our their lives to help us out making our dream setup and the kind wonderful people that came to see us. MASSIVE THANKS TO TONI LINES AND STICKY SHOES. You took a risk with us and we're ever thankful for that. Our set seemed to go so quick. We will upload any photos we find hanging around over the internet when we can. I wanted to film the whole thing but my camera was just not charging very quick at all. I'm so lucky to have these experiences to be part of and to enjoy. Logically i really shouldn't have any part in making music never mind SINGING! i some how sneaked my way in there and i've sort of set up home in it all.

St Gregory also made their debut as a live band and WOW! More than i ever hoped for. I've been listening to Tim's stuff for a long time. When we both had our solo porjects set up on myspace we were pretty much the only people we had that listened to our tracks on a regular basis for a while. I've always been entranced by the songs and musical magic he's formed in from his laptop labotory.

I unfortunately didn't catch much of Mik Artistik, much by the fact i couldn't get into the room but what i heard sounded interesting. John Cooper Clarke, the man, the poet people had all been waiting for. The place was PACKED! it felt good to be a show that had that feeling of excitement and gathering at Wakefield. Toni should be proud of her self for brightening up such a washed up city.

Here are a couple of photographs i got:



St Greogry Orange whispering apologies.



Becky (one of the greatest ladies ever) with our awesome blue shirt L.A glow band members
Jim and Tom

Antonia Lines, the legend herself and me absorbing all the heat backstage.



too lovely talented bastards. i mean chaps.


Anyway that was just my perspective of the gig. I'll try get rob to update you all on his feelings and thoughts about it all.

The 19th has appeared!

Wow. The day has actually arrived. It felt like this gig was always going to be there. Some of you may know that tonight is our debut show as a full band. That's a nice subtle 7 piece band for you. 7 seems to be our number too because it is also the time we're on stage. YIKES! For the past few days i've been trying an array of sore throat remedies and i hope it all works, just for tonight. Rob came round yesterday and we had a mini practice and talked about the gig and im really excited but i dont put it lightly when i say I AM SO FUCKING NERVOUS ARGGH! it should be fun though! Some of the things we had planned for the gig couldn't be done this time round but they will if we ever get the chance to do this again. We've got a couple of things in store though. We're really excited to see the other bands performances too! - St Gregory Orange will be a treat i'm sure! i've never heard any of Mik Artistik yet and we're opening support for punk poet, John Cooper Clarke. Jeez those Sticky Shoes are brilliant indeed. I'm meeting rob about 2 and we're going to jinjas for some lunch and to share our nerves and excitement.

Oh if anyone is still needing information about this gig here it is:

7pm Jeremiah
8pm St Gregory Orange
around 9pm Mik Artistik
10:30 - 11:30 John Cooper Clarke.

This is a guest list event and it's free. AT THE HOP

In other Jeremiah news : we might be playing an acoustic set for the Wakefield Theatre launch thing. I think we're just going to be playing in the background in the bar whilst people mingle, darling. The lady who is booking us was supposed to come tonight but can't make it so we've got this audtion type thing on friday morning at the theatre. We just have to play her a song so she can confirm she wants us but she did say we're the kind of thing she's looking for so it sounds promising. We will report back with results. Oh yeah we only get to play one song for her so if you guys have any suggestions of which one we should play, do tell us!


Love and nerves

Abi x

sweat and nerves.

On sunday we had our very first practice as a full band. All 7 of us. It was a very noisy and sweaty encounter but a great one at that. It was a narrow but nice room and it became very warm very quickly and we looked like we were all going to melt into the carpet. It couldn't have gone much better than it did. We managed to play the whole set list together and go through all the songs a few times and it felt great. I'm really really excited about the gig now but also very,very NERVOUS. We're so thankful for everyone managing to take time to come and practice with us and be our kind of super group.

We want to make this gig fun and enjoyable for everyone who is attending. like a real live show. Whether we can pull it off is yet to be seen. we could get 200 tuts from the crowd. YIKES! we have a few surPRI(Z)ES. Lets just hope they work out.
