NISENNENMONDAI ON TOUR YEH!


Since February we've been aching to get NISENNENMONDAI back for a show, and finally next week the band embark on their first proper tour of the UK. Their last gig was a crush of mesmeric noise and swirling motorik psychedelics, in short seriously jaw-clanging!



As you can imagine Monday is going to be epic. Fortune is indeed smiling as BEARDS from Leeds and the irrepressible PLEASE are also going to play too, with live actions commencing from 8.30pm. Here are the tour dates for you if you want to stalk them around the country:

PEACE PUNK BADGE

Whoo Upset People!

You probably know Matthew Thurber as the gangly saxophonist par excellence in SOILED MATTRESS & THE SPRINGS - hands aloft!

But he's also an amazing cartoonist, you can see some of his work in their new album for us. Along with his Ambergris publishing umbrella, he is also responsible for the unbelievably surreal comic series 1-800 MICE and the saucy title BICYCLE FLUIDS, both through Picturebox.

As you can imagine we almost died when he drew a badge for us featuring our favourite Rudimentary Peni-loving character Peace Punk, in a way don't we all love Rudimentary Peni, in a way aren't we all Peace Punks?


The badges are being made right now by our friends in Glasgow and will adorn all our clothes next week. They will be available for free with all mailorders and at our future shows too.

THANK YOU MATTHEW!
