A little message for our friends in Japan..

Japanese Tour Dates

Here's the full list of the forthcoming Japanese dates. As usual, if you're planning to attend a show, perhaps you could take the time to 'join' the page for that show. That should make sure you get any relevant info for that event, and also it'd be nice for us to get an idea of who's coming to which gig and maybe put a few names to a few faces. Hope to see you somewhere along the way.. – C&A

Blowout in Bedford.. Well, that was one of the more interesting ways to wake up. Tyre blowout at full speed. Choice now of sitting on the grass verge or watching Murray v Djokavic on the bus TV. Andy opted for the latter..

New iOS version of the SOS app

Sing hosannas! The new iOS version of our SOS app has been approved and is now available for download. A few small changes, the main one being a new tab called 'Tour Pics', which means that anyone with the app installed can upload photos from concerts, backstage.. anywhere, basically. Hopefully, we'll get to see a few of your photos from the imminent US shows. Let's have a contest for best tour-related pic. Winner will get, as is traditional, nothing but the honour of victory..

The plan for this week.. but which half?..

"Be a mere assistant to your unconscious. Do only half the work. The rest will do itself."  – Jean Cocteau, Diary of an Unknown

[sostour]

Thought we’d try something a little moody and atmospheric, but hadn’t counted on George and his exploding umbrella.. G’night all.

A week to go before kick-off. Seems like a good time to introduce the band.. Corinne and I you're probably familiar with, so, moving on, from top left we have: Ms Gina Foster (vocals/percussion when the mood takes), Mr Tim Cansfield (guitar/random shouting), Mr George Hart (drums/occasional soda bottle), Ms Jody Linscott (percussion/children's toys/car parts/anything within reach).. and introducing.. Mr Winston Blissett on the Fender bass!
