Hello everyone,

Is the weather as hellish where you are as it is here in Leeds?

We're experiencing near monsoon conditions chez TONKA, and my hedge has needed trimming twice since June.

That's twice more than I normally strim it in a year.

Cud's tour is now little more than a month away, playing all of Asquarius and then a whole heap of old-time and new-time favourites.

I've asked them to learn some Iron Maiden songs to play as covers, but they're not having it.

Poking my head 'round the door of the rehearsal room, I did happen to hear a couple of rarely played-out old classics that they must be adding to the set.

Musn't tell, some of us enjoy a surprise...

In other news..

In the shoppe..

The summertime mega-bargain deal on Tees, which saw them all priced a third off, is finishing Sunday 2nd August.

And "Victoria", on yummy banana-coloured vinyl, with free download is going to be just £5.00 for a week or so..

Also some very unusual merchandise is coming, to accompany the shows.

If (big IF) any is left after the shows we'll put some on the site (We'll put it up even if it sells out, so you all can see)

 

I'm off to bed now, I've just spent all day painting the rather fetching backdrop that the band commisioned me to make

to accompany the upcoming shows, and I'm bushed..

Hope you have a nice weekend wherever you have your weekend
