T O U R U K W A L E S

24/9 Exeter in which a man pulls out his penis in the background of John and Kevin being filmed for Noisey while his friend shouts "Elvis, Elvis". First show of UK tour first with new tour friends The History of Apple Pie who wrangle the feedback in to a killer show. Local heros The Cut Ups open a Cavern Club all rich with hardcore punk history and Robin's homecoming. Great show. Load out through the young, drunk Exeter.
Parting shot: "Do you want to sign any boobies?"
25/9 Wake up in Bovey Tracey. Beautiful. Widescreen sky. Children pound on a piano. Almond spread on homemade bread. The Moors. Walk on Dartmoor. Climb Haytor, an old volcano. Ponies. Climbing cows. Snacks from a farm shop. This is UK touring. Warm autumn. Notice a sticker on the back of our van says: "The Only Tool in this Van is the Driver". We're all tools together driving to Cardiff. Up against Cardiff Cheese Festival.
