Ireland!

So on the thursday evening me and the boys drove to practise and all around newport really to get equipment to take the practise room before going home to get ready to leave. i picked up tom and bobby at like 10.30pm, we were ment to be at joe's for 11.00pm ish, i suppose you could say that we were really on time. Ben, parslow and webbo had already left for joes about half an hour eariler than us so we had some mjaor catching up to do. After filling my car full of petrol we nailed it most of the way, the clio was shaking at one point not realy liking the 100mph i was forcing it to do! Nether the less we caught up with the boys and we finally arrived at street wise joe's country manor at around 1pm! We pretty much all hit the sack!
At around 5am we got up and got in a taxi for birmingham airport, we met up with tom and becca and had a pint at 5,40am, never done that before, never will be doing that again! Everything pretty much went smoothly regarding boarding etc, although bobby had to take his shoes off when he went through customs, because he kept beeping!
The flight itself was so short, by the time we had taken off, it was time to land again!
When we arrived in ireland, jack, fry and iano were already at the airport waiting for us, some of us went in the car, but most of us went on the bus back to thier house, i say bus but it was about 50% bus and 50% walking, good times no the less though!
On the first day everyone went into Dublin, while me bobby and joe stayed at the house and slept, they took quite a qhile in town so we started to drink early. In the night we pretty much had a party, i got really drunk so i wouldn't be able to tell you much about what actually happened, but as far as i remmember it was pretty amazing! At this point i'd like to thank anyone who looked after me when i was being sick, i really appreciate it considering i didn't know you, so thank you!

On the second day we all went into dublin town and chilled out at this park which had families having picnic's, it also had the other extreme of homeless people too drunk to walk. It also had a sweet massive pond, which also included a waterfall, and saw a lady showing everyone a bit of cheeky nipple!

After that we went to the show! Pretty much the best show i've been to in a while!
i don't actually have any photos from the show but i think that everyone knows what would have went down!
When we got back to the house after the show we watched a vampire film and chilled out, then everyone who didn't live in the house said their goodbyes, because we had to get up mega early!
so we got up mega earlier and got a lift to the airport and said more goodbyes!
yet again checking in went pretty easy so we chilled out by the boarding gate.

When we got into birmingham airport we didn't have any pounds so me and joe changed 30euro's, and we only got £18, i felt raped!
Before we left and drove home from joes i realised that i left my key's in ireland, which created quite a problem since i live in wales, my car was in birmingham and my car keyes were in ireland! so i had to ring laura to see if she could find them and post them over which is is doing and im very grateful for, thankyou!
So, i had to get our friend ben to pick me , bobby and parslow up, which cost me £35, but i suppose thats the price i pay for being an idiot and leaving my keyes in ireland!

All in all i pretty much had one of the best weekends of this year, and met some of the nicest people i've ever met! When i got back i got to thinking how the whole weekend was amazing, and id like to thank every single person i met, and people who let us stay at their house, and who made our whole weekend fucking amazing! I can't wait to come back!

ireand!

I'm going there on friday with save your breath, so check back for a few more posts!

ever since last week were have been involved with friendsn brands etc, ive been sleep, killing chilling spilling and cutting the fucking shit out of my finger! you want to hear that story?no, i'm going to tell it anyway, so i thought hmm, lets make a vegan pizza(pizza with no chese), so i was chopping/breaking dem hearts, and i slipped and chopped half my finger off, it really hurt and i passed out from blood loss and shock, when i regained life! my mum and dad were there to help me! which was brilliant, considerering i had chopped off half of my finger, it felt awesome and in was no way extremely painful! wow i' m such a man! but yeah, i'm drunk now! so see you soon!

Recording day four and five!

yo, i am back again, to tell you stories of rainy today and not so rainy yesterday.

So, first of all Day Four
i wasn't there, so i am going to document what i have been told, vocals for one of the songs were recorded yesterday, including backing vocals etc, so thats pretty wizaard.

Day Five
Since i wasn't there to take bad photos yesterday, so we took one of dave singing today, and we were going to put it and play it off as if he was actually singing but unless your a cat you are going to realise.



after pretending to sing dave found a scooter, it was pretty sweet



today Tom fucking owen recorded alot of his guitar parts





pretty much all of the tracks have most of the guitar done on them now, but when we were about to listen to one of the tracks that had been completed it was revealed that bobby has missed the drums in the intro. nightmare, if you want to send him hate texts or phonecalls for being a complete douche you can reach him at 07796374678!

a comical joke was also made on certain members of the band, romesh...



played the worlds best/sickest/radical/amazing/geart solo over one of the parts and we told the boys that we thought it should be in the track becuase it was amazing, pretty funny stuff. i guess you had to be there. we do have a video of it though so you can enjoy it just as much as we did once we find a cable that connects the camera to the macs!

so to recap we recorded guitars and watched alan partridge over and over
and over and over again
i'm tired
it was a good/eventful day

so check back for more shit tomorrow
peace
cheeeers

Recording day three!

Recording @ Longwave-Day Three

Yo, here we are again, in the studio for day three of recording...

so shortly after setting up some of the equipment for the guitar tracks




we began to rock..



after rocking for a good 25minutes, the recommended daily amount, parslow started to record his guitar parts.





we are still recording the adams guitar parts right now, right this second, so i can't really tell you how many songs we have done, or will be done by the end of the day. But, i can tell you that the on and only tom owen is up next to lay down his spine breaking parts.

Also eariler we were walking out of sainsburys after grabbing a light lunch, when a baby dropped a chocolate milkshake on the floor as dave and tom were walking past its pram, consequently the boys both received back splash of the milkshake all over thier white t-shirts while the childs teenage mother was talking to her friend about bebo or some other hip fad no doubt!

Also also, it seem's that the world does not want anyone to see footage of this recording, as the camera ran out of battery and the lead we picked up from home was the wrong one, so i do apologize. Maybe we can sort some out for tomorrow, hopefully something won't go wrong for us.

but the tracks are sounding wiiizzard, so check back for updates tomorrow and hopefully a video
chhheeeeeeeerrrss

Recording day one and two!

this was like last week, but check it ourt!

Day OneYo it is rich, you probably don't have a clue who i am, but sometimes i do merch and hang out with the lads.
Anyway, first of all i would like to apologize for the lack of footage in this blog, well i say lack, i mean NO footage at all. We had trouble with getting the videos from the camera onto the computers, but i'm sure we will find a way..sort it out by tomorrow and get some classic footage up for your entertainment!

So, it was a bright and sunny day in newport south wales, when we set sail for longwave recording studio's in cardiff.



A short while after arriving at the studio parslow, ben and webbo started laying down the guide tracks for bobby. Once all the guide tracks were done bobby started tracking the drums, he did all the drums to the intro and three other tracks, after that half of us went to the four year strong show and half of us when back home for the night, we left the drum tracks in the hands of Romesh and Rob.


Day Two

Day two of recording was an equally hot day to day one, i guess it was sunny is what i am trying to say.

The day began with bobby doing the last two drum tracks for the record, after that ben started doing his bass parts.
From then on the day pretty much consisted of bass..



chilling in the sun topless..



more bass..



and more chilling topless



All in all a pretty eventful two days , i even found out that sainsbury do a fruit bar, its a bit like a salad bar, but with fruit!



Anyway that's all for today but check back tomorrow for more updates, pictures in the sun and maybe a video duudeee
cheers

good week

nothing new!
