He’s a really great guy with really great looks and a really great smile.
Oh also he’s been experimenting with ambient electronica and trip-happy visuals under the alias of Raynor and you should totally watch his new video STAT.

Lastly, just a friendly reminder from your friendly neighbourhood band, we are headlining Lambda Lambda Lambda with support from Moonjog at the Alhambra lounge in the valley tomorrow! More details HERE
Peace out, A-town.
Meanwhile, on Mars…

With Josh in Malaysia teaching English (he’s such a good Samaritan) the band is working hard on readying a new song for our Alhambra gig on the 7th of July. It’s gonna rock your socks off and all that, so GET KEEN YOU GUYS.
Also, since you have ears, here is an early acoustic demo of Elvis playing Mallrats, with mistakes and ad libbing and all!
And listen to how far it’s come

Huge thanks to everyone who came to our Zoo gig! Had a killer time, you guys were the balls.
We recorded the whole show so hopefully we’ll have a few live tracks uploaded in the coming weeks.
We’re heading back in to writing, just in case you were sick of us playing the same songs (UNLIKELY).
Stay tuned as over the coming months we should have some new in yo face material that’ll have you seeing more heads roll than an executioner.
Also Clive is working on a demo for his side project ‘The Lomographers’, so everyone look forward to that. EVERYONE. Otherwise his self esteem will plummit.
LOVE FROM TLC
Just another present

The Institution
// November 24th, 2009 // Comments Off // gig
TLC loves you all for coming, for moshing, for drinking with us until the early hours. That was the most fun I think any of us have had at a gig yet! To see photos of the night (and to find out how to put your own photos on this site) see The Mallrats Party.
For those who didn’t realise, we played a new song on the night called The Institution. It is a fairly different song for us which saw Geordie’s debut on drums and Hugh back on the guitar for the first time in more than a few months. Continue Reading
