Male Bonding Single Launch In Pictures

As the post below indicates, Saturday was the day we officially celebrated the release of the Male Bonding/Eat Skull 7". I'd be lying if i said i was surprised by how many people turned up - i knew it would be busy. Below are some choice shots of the night, taken from a variety of disposable cameras we passed around and then some from Sean Carpenter of Disposable Youth - a good man.

This is what fun looks like in Dalston.

Before it went a bit messy.

Capitalism.

This crowd nearly broke sound, which would've sucked, but their intentions were pure.*

Male Bonding and Wesley. I have no idea what was happening here, as I couldn't see a thing*

This girl was intense.*

And she did not rest...

William on XFM

Wiliam recently recorded thier second session for John Kennedy's Xposure show on XFM. Listen to a track tonight on the show from 10pm.

William at New Slang

William played New Slang at McClusky's in Kingston last night. I went along.

It took me a long time to get there on the train. The guard tried to fine me as my travelcard didn't cover the journey. I managed to negotiate my way out of it because I'm very good at playing dumb.

I helped William load-in. The venue is massive. A cold sterile nightclub (when empty) with ostentatious furnishings. Banquet records who put on the night were lovely throughout. They had about 20 staff working and were always keen to help out.


They put on a lovely rider and were very apologetic for the initial poor turn out, which was unnecessary as the place soon filled up.





William played;

Youngun
Thomowski
Zhero
Aperture
South of the Border
Midi
DS1

I think it was in that order. They were so good they made boys kiss each other in the front row. God knows what was happening in the back row.

The next band on were Hatcham Social who I had to miss so that I got home at a resonable hour for a school night. Which is a shame because they sounded like they'd be fun when they were soundchecking.
