i was thinking more like this:

I REALLY WANT ONE, PERSUADE ME TO GET ONE BY POSTING NICE PICTURES OF THEM PLEASE.

Or have they?!

Hey my band are playing a couple of shows at the great escape this weekend. 13th May- Artrocker Stage @ The Hope, Brighton w/ Jaguar Love, These Monsters, The JCQ 15th may- Holy Roar Stage @ The Pav Tav, Brighton w/ Throats, Brontide 16th may- Edge Of The Wedge, Portsmouth w/ Throats Both the brighton shows are FREE and access whether you have a wristband for the festival or not. If anyone can make it down, come say hi! Matt

phwoar i couldn't do that long. I like my creature comforts too much. best of luck booking all those dates!

[quote]Pardon my cheek, but if you couldn't hear the drums in that configuration, in what sense did you not have enough headroom? Are you maybe referring to problem with clipping/distortion?[/quote] well the cab was right next to me head. I like to have a massive jump from my clean to my distortion and with this amp if we had to play a show with no PA when i played distorted it was out of control and completely unmanageable ...

[quote]I had the same problem, until I was made to realize that the head really wants 2 or 4 ohm loads. Much more oomph than with 8ohm, believe me...[/quote] mind you, thinking back to one show we did in a basement. I Plugged into two 4ohm 410s and i couldn't hear the drums! But still, the amp didn't have enough headroom for me.

i could never get it loud enough

yeah, to be honest nothing seems out of the ordinary. They want to be able to make videos and be allowed to film gigs and stuff and other stuff. i think i'm just freaking out because i don't want people relying on me.

I've recently been offered endorsements by a couple of companies and I've been sent PDFs filled with all the requirements that the companies require of me and what they promise to do etc. am i over reacting or am i right in feeling a little pressured? i think i have to just keep reminding myself that its cheap sh*t! i know people on here have had endorsements in the past and i've always dreamed of having one... does anyone have any horror stories? thanks, Matt

i was meant to buy a diago before i go on tour but i had to leave work so i just wacked it on a piece of wood with a doormat on it. new additions= boss EQ and DL4 pretty unexciting but it works for me!

i think i'll have to agree with that. but i can't get enough of rolo and throats!

[quote]Good sound, tiny stage.[/quote] yeah, the sound was amazing! it would have been better had we turned up to soundcheck! [quote]I live just around the corner from that venue yet ive not been there for years. It always seemed to be very crowded on a Friday night. We used to go and see the house band after the strippers pubs. Oh to be young again.[/quote] yeah, there was actually a queue outside by the time we finished playing, there was a clubnight on after the gig so it was a nightmare loading out!

played the Old Blue Last, london on thursday last week. it was packed because we were supporting a band which featured members of big bands. in the photo it looks pretty empty but that was because i was on the floor because the other bands refused to move their stuff to the side for me. the crowd was to the left and stage to the right. we were horrendously late (turned up when we were meant to be on stage) and in the process of loading in my amp got wet and is now broken. I had to borrow a trace elliot, good god it sounded disgusting. but still a good gig which we've had a lot of good feedback from.

[url="http://www.myspace.com/runwalk"]http://www.myspace.com/runwalk[/url] recorded at serafina studios, Eastbourne. for the recording i used a Fender MIJ Jazz w/ an old 1980's bridge USA Jazz pickup wired straight to the jack. into a peavey mach 3 into a loud inc. 410, an orange rockerverb 50 into a 412 , selmer treble n bass 50 into some random 115 that was lying around the studio. the song is callled "Back Of My Mind" due out on Holy Roar Records on the 15th of March please let me know what you think!

Our label is putting a Free show on at The Old Blue Last, old street, shoreditch, LDN it was curated by Gordon Moakes, the bassist from Bloc Party (who happens to be my hero) who wanted an opportunity to unleash his new super band. Anywho the line up goes like this: Friendship Legionnaire (featuring Gordon from bloc party on bass, William from la roux / brontide/ iwasacubscout on drums, and Paul from the automatic/ yourcodenameis:milo) run,WALK! (my band) this gig is free entry, doors are at 8. we're on at 8:15. This show will be packed so get down early!
