Hey all, just a reminder that JF are doing a free instore at Rough Trade East, off Brick Lane, East London this Monday (26th - album launch day!). They’re on stage 7pm sharp.. wristbands available during the day, but should be fine if you just walk up to the shop (it’s pretty big) from 6pm…
Hey there, as per the last tour, we’ve got an allocation for tickets for the upcoming shows (supported by the awesome Internet Forever) in November.
You can get them from the usual place. Unfortunately, two of the shows we couldn’t sort, so there’s just links to the usual ticket places.
Otherwise, for Southampton, Stoke, Guildford and York these are the cheapest tickets - with only a £1 booking fee.
See you on tour.
In other tour news - we’ll be announcing more UK dates in the coming weeks for next year - we’ll get to most territories eventually!
Hi everyone. Thank you very much for coming to the shows in the last fortnight - the biggest and best the band have done, in many ways. To celebrate, we’re going to go do some more in the UK very soon. Here’s a new poster to look at.
Ticket links from this site very soon - otherwise available from the usual outlets.
Hi, yesterday was the most YAY!!!/NO!! off our most YAY!!/NO!! tour yet. Parking tickets and powercuts and our guitars/amps/shoes falling apart, that was a point at the end of the show where I was floating around on my back in the top of the audience with a big dumb smile realising that all this is probably worth it. And the someone robbed my microphone and sort of tarnished the evening. Im sick of whining musicians so I’ll not dwell on us being another 100 quid down, but the sentimental value of that sm58 to the person who trustingly lent it to me isn’t something we can replace by jacking up shirt prices or not eating for a couple of days. If you know our band, then you’ll know which we’d sooner do, and the love in the room last night was proof to us that we’re justified in skinting ourselves to do this band. I reckon some drunk kidlet took it in revenge for having to wait round while the venue fixed it’s flux capacitor. well done, you really showed them. We’re doing a free show in December, it’ll probably be billed as an apology for last night but really we just love what we do, any excuse. If you bring us the severed head of the guy who robbed our mic, we’ll give you our gin. We won’t have much else to offer any more. Thx leeds, 99percent of you are wonderful xxx
