Willie and the Hand Jive

e just got this mail through about the show we did in Dorking a couple of weeks back...

"...hey guys, it's Joey here. This afternoon, after I finished my first (well, technically second) day as a Biffa binman, I went to deliver the money to the Us In A Bus charity office. They were just about to have a trustees meeting and I gave the lady Janet £1460...raised by us, with help from you and Heroic Doses also. It was the money from four shows in total I think. Anyways, I thought you'd like to know and could maybe put something on your site. The website of the charity is www.usinabus.org.uk . Thanks again for playing. Joey. x"

amazing. If you're in a band, go play Dorking.

The NME stuff is going a bit weird, we got a few emails about the photo shoot and that and we're not sure about how they want to portray us... I think they're trying a play on words with hardcore but we're really not sure about dressing up as builders... hmmm.
