A tour poster for the Dead Pioneers UK and Europe tour in 2026. Yakkie are supporting on the UK shows. 26th Feb Bristol, 27th Manchester, 28th Leeds, 1st March London, 3rd Arnhem, 5th Wiesbaden, 6th Stuttgart, 7th Cologne, 9th Zurich, 11th Vienna, 12th Munich, 13th Berlin, 14th Hamburg.
Yakkie are playing the UK dates of the Dead Pioneers tour and somehow it's 4 venues that (I think) I've never played???
"Mind the gap" on the edge of a train platform, which has been repainted over with a new stencil which says "Mind the Gap" with a capital G. The bigger G misaligns the whole thing and enrages L'Ankles (not pictured).
Why would they do this
I don't know who needs to hear this but there are LOADS of fairly cheap returns on Twickets for St Vincent at the Proms tonight
A screencap from Wikipedia. The sub-heading is "Personal life" and the only content is "She is bisexual."
The most powerful kind of sub-heading on Wikipedia
ICON Ankles in pink tee, shorts and rucksack
ICON Dora the Explorer in pink tee, shorts and rucksack
The other day some kids outside Tesco were shouting "Dora The Explorer" and I was really confused until I looked up what she looks like

A poster advertising a gig. Text reads: YAKKIE. Friday 11th April Album Preview Show. The Victoria, Dalston. 7:30pm, £10 advance. Support from Tarantina and Jay Cavalier. Sneak a peek at some of the sickest riffs in DIY. The main image on the poster is singer Janey Starling and bassist Laura Ankles performing at a previous gig, both wearing Palestinian football shirts. The image is grayscale on pink.
This is my next gig! We're getting ready to record a full album next week so come be our riff Guinea pigs. Also buy shirts so we can pay for said recording of the album 👀 www.eventbrite.com/e/yakkie-and...
I have written about the sentencing guidelines shitshow.
Infuriating to see yet another Labour government seek to appease a rightwing voter base by reinforcing the “tough on crime” doom loop that has gridlocked our justice system for the past 30 years.

It's very 90s Ant and Dec
Brian Eno 2h. On the Arrest of Young People at a Quaker Meeting House Last night, six young people were arrested by police during a peaceful gathering at a Quaker Meeting House. They had assembled to talk, reflect, and organise around two issues of overwhelming moral gravity: the climate emergency, and the continuing destruction in Gaza. That the police chose to forcibly enter a Quaker space-a site known throughout history for its deep commitment to peace and nonviolence—is both alarming and telling. These young people were not disrupting the peace. They were enacting it. We live in a time where the greatest threats to our future go unchallenged by those in power, while those who speak out are increasingly met with suspicion, hostility, and force. When the state begins to treat moral concern as criminal intent, we should all be paying close attention. The people arrested last night were not extremists. They were citizens who care-young people who see the interconnected crises of climate collapse and human suffering and refuse to turn away. They gathered not in violent defiance, but in peaceful conscience. I stand with them. I believe their voices are not only valid, but vital. If the institutions meant to protect us cannot bear to hear these voices, then it is not the protesters who are disrupting order—it is the silence of those who look away. - Brian Eno
Worth sharing with alt text. Brian Eno's response to the Quaker arrests.
Definitely wasn't cool enough to at that age!
They used to sell them in Holland and Barratt! Haven't seen them in a long time though (and tbf I think last time I had one would have been 12+ years ago so can't remember if they were good!)
Maaaaaan I listened to so much Fugazi in my teens. So hyped for this show

So honoured to support Shilpa Ray’s sold out gig at the start of her tour - great night all round inc opening act Aloha Dead.
Hahaaaa it's actually quite a shock to the system to have virtually all your travel costs go up by a third in one fell swoop
Thought I'd be young forever, but RIP my Young Person's Railcard. Never gonna be able to get the tube for a quid ever again rosecolouredrecords.bandcamp.com/track/tube-f...

New gig alert! For my first gig of 2025 I’m supporting Shilpa Ray at The Grace London on 31st Jan. I’ll have the Actual Band v1.3 with me aka Mar K who played bass on the album and @headoflondon.bsky.social from all-the-bands. Further info and tickets at alt.tkts.me/tl/bagk
They keep us humble!
Laura and Jasmine Kennedy off of Grace Petrie's band playing guitar and bass respectively, shredding on their knees on the floor in the classic folk tradition.
Think Grace Petrie's Lefty Christmas was my final gig of the year? THINK AGAIN! Joining @charleston51.bsky.social on drums supporting Ye Nuns THIS MONDAY at the Lexington! Couldn't find a pic of me on drums so have one of me playing the stringed and fretted drum
Paul McCartney’s song “Wonderful Christmastime” is a good song but Michael M’s “The Moon is Right” is a great song. Hope the moon is right for you all today! youtu.be/Rt0dflSPD5o
A selfie of Laura running, with eyes closed and a goofy grin. She is wearing a bright red running jacket and a big pair of headphones. A muddy flood park is visible in the background.
A raised path, thick with mud. There are trees either side on the lower banks, and a lake visible behind the trees on the right hand side. Fog hangs over the scene, obscuring the greenery further back in the photo.
Laura's legs, shot from above. Her trainers are absolutely caked in mud.
Muddy Christmas to one and all
Still can't believe I literally got in the sea last week
A photo of Laura from around 1999 at Christmas, posting with a plastic toy guitar and microphone. There is a big plastic Christmas tree in the background. You can't tell from the picture, but it was nicked from a closing down shoe shop.
Hyped for Lefty Christmas with Grace Petrie tonight! Here I am elsewhere on tour.
Coffee #23: oat flat white, the cafe at the end of Eastleigh Parkrun. Exactly what I needed after coating myself in mud. 8/10
