Grant from Toupe has been hard at work putting shows together. This is what he's sent me so far:

1st Oct – Catapult Club – London
2nd Oct – The Joiners - Southampton
7th Oct – The Railway – Winchester
17th Oct – Pressure Point – Brighton (unconfirmed)
18th Oct – Moles – Bath (unconfirmed)

Any suggestions are always welcome! :)
20th Oct - Reykjavík - Iceland?
 
I saw this TWO piece band in a very tiny ad in this months issue of Bass Guitar Magazine, and the ad said they were even sponsored by Talk Bass...whats the story on them? I have a friend who started a two piece "band" here in Denver, and it was pretty much the first Id heard of such a thing...could we be seeing the start to a new trend in music?

You'd most likely be surprised at how much that "very tiny" ad cost. :eek: ;)

whats the story on them?

Easy - they're a two-piece band with an acoustic/electronic drummer and TB's own Tosya (Amy) on a Ric whose output is split thrice into clean, effected, and distorted rigs. As if that unholy amount of bass isn't enough, they actually have the audacity to write good songs! The nerve!! :spit:

Seriously, they rock harder than a fried peanut butter and 'nanner sammich. The [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] is worth every underpriced penny and then some. I've missed them live a few times for a variety of reasons (all mine, and I really should apologize to Amy :(), but am looking forward with great anticipation to Tosya, their upcoming DVD. The next best thing to seeing pink hair live, I suppose. :D

This "new trend" is at least a few years into the mainstream (White Stripes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, et al), and has been underground for long before that with The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and others. Sorry to let you down on that one. ;)
