Despite a cumbersome six man line-up the War boys have appeared at seven of their eight scheduled shows this term with only personal injury preventing a clean sweep of gigness. They have been joined by excellent DIY students Silent Front, Frau Pouch, Death Pedals, Data Errors, Calva, Commungos, Ragweed, Cherry But No Cake, Houdini, Bogong In Action, Common Deflection Problems, From Great Height, Plague Sermon, Lamp!, and Fat Bicth and proven to be a fine example to others, even with t...

We're going to be joined by Hellish Flavours and Crows PLUS the amazing Palehorse will be headlining - its going to be sweet as fuck!
The gig will be held in the basement bar of The Constitution, 42 St Pancras Way in Camden...
A little bit of bad news, David our newest member will be leaving us at the end of October to concentrate on his rather excellent main band Pulpo - so with that in mind we now only have two gig left in 2011 (so you'd better make the most of it!).

A real shame as it was a great night with Phil taking Yokozuna down to replace us (mighty fine job they did too) and stunning sets from Frau Pouch, Laps Around The Sun and especially Bad Guys!
Never fear though, we think James will be recovered for this weekend where we take part in a two day marathon with Silent Front, Nitkowski, Plague Sermon, Lamp! a...

DIY, the buzz word in music right….NOW! Closed Recordshops, labels playing it safe and promoters persistently acting like leather jacketed Gordon Gekkos – hardly a fucking surprise musicians need a new angle, an outlet for their wares so they don’t feel shafted like a cheap Westminster rent boy.

Our Next Show will be playing the newly created Mother Boy night at The Unicorn in Camden with the always exciting Frau Pouch and Houdini (plus one more special guest tba).
