Think this was the first time weβd rehearsed this in years π Can thankfully say we know it quite well now π€ΈπΏββοΈ

So, quite clearly, I left my 'Dream collabs: ideas?' notebook on the bus and someone in The Industry found it and put number one into production. If Dweeb v Tindersticks comes out in January then that confirms it, and I want a 'development fee'...
While we're all excited thinking about the forthcoming Art Brut v bis EP here's a reminder of the gig 6th February with Maximo Park Official Art Brut & bis πππ @maximopark.bsky.social @eddieargos.bsky.social
Tickets are on sale here:

bis v Art Brut "Sorry About That" EP
is 500 purple 7βs on Alcopop Records featuring each band covering each other's hits, and a dual cover of Opposites Attract by Paula Abdul.

How good are @bistheband.bsky.social ? Seriously. Incredible band and people as well
β€οΈ this π
Doing nostalgia right again, this time at the Zodiac in Oxford for a triple bill of 90s indie, starting out by putting a wrong right & FINALLY getting to see @bistheband.bsky.social, who obv want to watch Strictly & so not only went on first but also only played for 30 mins. SO ACE. WILL AGAIN SOON.
Great wee article in Music News Scotland about our gig next weekend. Incase you didn't know, the organiser of Firefly Music Festival is the marvellous Jane Chalmers from Pink Kross π€©
Our first gig for 2026 is playing with Maximo Park & Art Brut at the o2 Academy in Glasgow on Fri 6th Feb. the first gig of their tour!
Amazingly itβs a venue in our hometown that we havenβt played so far & as fans of Maximo Park this is exciting :)

YES!! can't wait for October - we're on the road with @emftheband.bsky.social and @bistheband.bsky.social and it's going to be a dream come true and buy tickets to the shows and BE A PART OF THE LOVE-IN x www.jesusjones.com/tour-dates/
Firefly Festival Scotland has early bird tickets on sale for just a few more days so we seriously think you should consider a little trip to a beautiful part of the world. Touring with EMF and Jesus Jones we're still in shock. Always fun to tour with bands more mental than us.

How hot does this look for 2025 so far?!
Touring for bands like us that aren't BIG, have day jobs and young families is bloody tough so pulling this many gigs together makes us smile. Your support makes the promoters NOT think they've made a mistake and we thank you π
