Hello S*M*A*S*H world!!! Thought last night in deepest New Cross was top notch. Still a pain to get to, but worth it!! Great to hear the songs live again, esp Lady Love Your Cunt, Kill Somebody, Real Sureel shame NO Tidal Wave or Take Your Breath Away Next time!! Good to ss your back or your serious or just a giigle?? Word has it your releasing a single?? What am I up to... too much... I run a monthly night here in Reading and is going really well... had likes of Bloc Party/New Rhodes/yumiyumi/The Vaults etc etc and do the odd night at the Water Rats in Kings Cross...next one December 11th with THE SOULS/INDIGO COLONY/THE RIFLES/HUNDRED HANDED ED is are not washing your hair yell. THE SOULS are an amazing you'll love them!!! I also run a tiny label with a big heart called Velocity Recordings now onto our 13th release and doing okay but kids don't buy records any more. There is always great music around just have to believe your ears. It is great still creating and NOT just consuming. I am on talking terms with Alan McGee, Rat Scabies and Roger Winslet (father of Kate!!)
If you wanna play the Water Rats say early 2005 I'll sort it and make sure it is very busy. You have to sooner or later play with The Souls. Nevile Staple rates them! www.thesouls.co.uk or check out my web shop www.vrmerchandise.co.uk

POP OF THE TOPS
Following the success of the Fairies & Pirates party in August, Pop Of The Tops returns to it's home stomping ground, Rocklands, republic of rebellious revolution.
It's another night not to be missed. Quality tunes and performance. The return of rock heroes S*M*A*S*H to London + an appearance by rising punktastic outfit Rhesus + the frantic aural and visual spectacle of Optimist Club Yer treated to an acoustic set and the significant words of Nebraska. who are taking the local kick ass vibe around the UK from October to November on the Rocklands Rounded Tour - plus special guest DJs and fellow Pop Of The Tops faves, the mighty Crash Convention fresh from launching Dirty Sounds club in Mayfair, in a legendary fashion! all on one bill!!!. Drinks at pub prices. It already rocks! Early arrival is advised. network @ forum
/ S*M*A*S*H update lowdown / Rhesus website / Nebraska info / Crash Convention website / (more on S*M*A*S*H (article) and Rhesus (interview) at Hear! Here! and so you know there was no kidding about arriving early, the Optimist Club live experience in words... "Optimist Club crunch into action. They resemble a black hole of a band which has managed to suck in Fugazi, The Cardiacs and Ikara Colt and mash them all up into a wild post punk pot puree. Absolutely demented at times and an absolute battering ram of a band at others. The singer looks like a 1970's Mark E Smith - a happy one. His energy and enthusiasm for getting right in your face but certainly not up your nose are unrelenting as the band launch into barrage after barrage of the most full on guitar frenzied, dirty, psychedelic, speed induced, racket you may ever hear. "They sound like they should come from New York" someone mutters to me (?), they come from Harrow I think, I reply?"
Oh just come and see/hear it all for yourself! Doors 8pm. £5 / £3 concessions*
