So we totally shredded our faces...although now we're left with a big gaping hole that tours with very awesome, incredibly witty and warm people tend to leave you with. It's been a hard week recovering from the loss of our touring buddies. Ellen is getting through it with the help of Kinder eggs and the new series of Heroes and I've been distracting myself by watching the Stephen Fry program about America on iplayer. None of this helps enough.

We hope you managed to make it to one of the Shred Yr Face gigs. No Age and TNV are quite something live...The experience was catalogued to some extent on www.shredyrface.com

We're off to Europe tomorrow (!) where we'll be joined by our wonderful labelmates Sky Larkin and Lovvers and that's definitely something to look forward to. Mostly because of the food. Ollie's excited about apfel strudel, Tom's excited over proper pizza and pasta, Gareth's excited about the vegan restaurant in Munich, us girls can't wait for the wealth of continental cheese and Neil wants to put on some lederhosen and have a big old knees up in a beer hall. So yeah, you better still love us when we're fat.

p.s

some photos of the tour can be found here

and I (Ellen) completely cheated on this blog and whored myself out to Kruger because they pay me in pie here

I can't believe you can be bought so easily Ellen. Note my disapproval. You could've at least shared the pie.

Oh and our new release is in shops now, not just internetland. It's the prettiest thing we've ever seen and comes with lots of extra goodies....
