NEWS *FLASH*

1/6/01________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Well it seems everyone has forgotten about and lost interest in the competition. If I am wrong email us or leave a notice in the guestbook. If I am right we could just cancel the whole thing. Tell us your feelings and how we should resolve this time-stretching competition dilema. 22/5/02_______________________________________________________________________________________________________ The competition final will take place on Monday - watch this space and we'll annouunce the winner! 10/5/02_______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Kenny Kerr has contacted the band to confirm that he recieved our message of not playing any gigs till after summer, even if this means......turning down supporting Mark and Lard's band the Shirehorses! Oh well. He will hopefully get us a gig after the summer. 8/5/02________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The competition is now finally closed! We've had some tough competitors but in the end we've whittled it down to two finalists: so congratulations Daniel Black from Yetholm and Rosie Stewart from nowhere really. Daniel had the correct theory but Rosie's was very well presented so we have had a bit of a tough challenge to decide who will become the final winner. So we are taking it out of our hands and into theirs as they battle in a fight to the death, with the survivor being the one that wins the artwork! Or they can play paper, scissors, stone. You know, which ever is easiest for them, we don't care. ************************************************************************************************************** 29/4/02_______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Well, we would normally close the competition now but I'm afraid not ONE of our entrants included their address to where we should send the prize! So this means we will extend the deadline until the 7th of May so people can enter again WITH THEIR ADDRESSES and others can enter for the first time too. Don't be so daft this time you daft people who couldn't even get a degree at daft university and are now busy trying to cure their daftness in the city of daft!?!!?!?! aaaaahhhhhh, pure rage I tell you!!!!!!!!!!! ************************************************************************************************************** 21/4/02_______________________________________________________________________________________________________ The band has decided to calm down activities until after their exams. This means you'll just have to wait for a while before we play our first LOCAL gig. But, don't worry, we'll keep updating the site so don't be to dishearted. ************************************************************************************************************** 18/4/02_______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Kenny Kerr has got in contact with the band to say he has received our demo tape, has listened to it, and thinks it sounds really good!!! He is going to try and fit us into a gig somewhere, possibly in Berwick as a support to a Glasgow band with Radio 1's Mark and Lard in it. Here's hoping........ Also, so far for the competition we have had ONE entry!!!! We never expected it to be such a success. As a result we have extended the deadline so everyone can get the chance to enter. This deadline is 28/4/02, so keep them coming. ************************************************************************************************************** 14/4/02_______________________________________________________________________________________________________ It's competition time!!!! And the prize is great - Oral Entertainment artwork signed and fondled by the band. All you have to do is simple. Tell us your theory about whether you believe 0 is a prime number or not. Whoever we feel has the most convincing theory will win!! Just send your theorys to paranoidandroid59@hotmail.com and we will notify you as soon as possible if you have won. Make sure you include your names and addresses so we know where to send the prize to. Good luck!!! (shit, that's a tacky ending)************************************************************************************************************** Pre13/4/02:___________________________________________________________________________________________ Full band line-up is finally chosen with Alex, Andrew, Nina, Fog and Lois all cutting the final grade. We automatically decide to try out our talent with very little practice and enter the TYNESIDE BATTLE OF THE BANDS. We finish second but win the BEST LYRICS AWARD for our own songs. We also play at varous independant gigs. Soon after this website is set up. We have now decided we want to try playing more locally so have entered a demo-tape to Kenny Kerr, the Sound 4 U promotions dude and hopefully will be asked to play shortly. The demo tape included an extract of our own song, Sweden, from BOTB's, a cover of a Pixies track and a Manic Street Preachers track (this was done under our old band name, The Tokyo Gnomes though) and some of our other own material including Feel and You Never Wash Up After Yourself.......................................
