because i was like 'OMG LUPEN CROOK MATCHES' so sadly i've never seen him or the murderbirds :'(
i haven't heard any news from him in ages, is he still around?
yeah they went on a mini tour in new york and came back with loads of new songs, quite a few of those are up on youtube and they hardly play older songs at all now it would seem.
ace!
I'd love to see them, but they seem quite elusive, or maybe i just don't pay enough attention to the indie news and stuff, but i never seem to hear anything about them. Maybe i will now thanks to your facebook group :D:D

Some hit me in the face, which hurt a bit, but the sweet minty taste was ample compensation.

been tempted to eat the sweet minty goodness inside but I have come to the conclusion that 5 years on it may have lost all of its minty properties.
I had this
but I ate it :(.
