Blimey, where has the last decade gone? 2000 and 2001 saw LPs come bursting onto the scene with such classics (and this site’s namesake) Shinobi Vs Dragonninja, and now we have this to look forward to on 4th January 2010:

Gone are the 20something baggy jean wearing wicky wicky wack boys of the beginning of the naughties,

Several hundred gigs (I think I attended a mere 40 or so of those), a few orbits of the earth, 3 drummers, a few label switches, many arguments, many hugs, now we have slick prophets, grown up prophets, prophets that have their own baby prophets,

Ok, maybe not that grown up.

Here’s to another 10 years!

Check it!

SO apparently the boys have two features coming up in January on Radio 1 for you to keep an ear out for. First will be replacing Zane Lowe while he takes a break on Wednesday 13th January between 7pm and 9pm. The second will be on the Radio 1 Live Lounge, on Fearne Cotton’s daily show, on January 22.

Stu & Jamie answering fan’s Q’s, part 2:

OH and apparently the Afan Lido, Port Talbot show WILL go ahead as normal as the part that burnt down WASN’T the part the boys are playing at

Well as of yesterday it appears that Afan Lido, in Port Talbot, has burnt to the ground. See the full news story here.

I would imagine they’ll try and move the gig somewhere else, but this late notice it may not be possible! The boys were due to play there on 1st March next year.
