It's that time again! Where a local band hacks our blog system for their own sneaky purposes. You'd think we'd learn after ASIWYFA managed to infiltrate our site while on tour with Them Crooked Vultures, and Strait Laces found time to wreck havoc during SXSW. Even the lovely Cutaways attempted to take over all the way from Canada.
But this time, we're not surprised at all. Noise mongers declared they would cause "destruction... to clubs/bars/venues" on before heading of on their UK tour last Friday. And it seems they continued this rampage onto our blog...

In all my touring experiences, leaving at an un-godly hour seems to be the norm, obviously it has some benefits but the sheer amount of trips that have consisted in leaving when the streets are cold, dark and depressingly empty is an annoyingly frequent occurrence. I decided that if I didn't sleep I might bypass the horrible feeling of waking up in the worst mood know to humankind , which to an extent worked, but it totally backfired in the sense that I was living like a zombie on valium for the first day of tour.
Edinburgh was up first, and if people haven't already gathered it by our multiple status updates, we like Edinburgh a lot. It is also our first tour in our newly acquired van, which we also like a lot. So with these two things in mind, I was able to get over the mind numbing exhaustion and be happy that we are on the road again. The drive and ferry journey were relatively painless, and due to the early nature of our ferry, we got to the venue with many hours to spare.
