BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Just A Band

Hey,

So we had our first practice in 8 months last Sunday and it went well, the cobwebs were well and truly dusted off, the cogs were greased and my hands were bleeding by the end... friday should be good fun. Also, in between bouts of tea, coffee and discussing the finer points of Dave's magical prowess we decided that friday would be the last gig we play as the Steal. We think it's a nice end being at the Peel, where we played our first gig 4 years ago. Also playing with Paint It Black, whose member's current and past exploits were a primary influence on us playing the music we do, is a nice touch. We think the band has come to it's natural end and we wanted to give people a heads-up if they wanted come see us one last time.

Thanks.

Keep Moving Forward.

Distractions

Hey there,

So we've been pretty quiet on 'The Steal' front of late... We're pretty savvy with this band thing, as my dad always says, "A funny thing happens when you don't promote... nothing." So yeah.
We put out our second record almost a year ago, which is the best thing we've done. Did a tour which was the best/worst tour we've ever done... best - the shows, worst - constant draining illness. Ho hum. Since then you might say we've done a total of fuck all... however you'd be wrong.

Dave wrote, recorded and released his third solo album, "Intersections" went on tour with the amazing Lemuria and has been holding it down in Kingston selling misc. genres and helping the kids dance.



Pavey has been building his DIY printing empire, creating glorious posters, t-shirts and putting on exhibitions (for good causes) with his talented partner in crime in good old Brighton town.



Lindsay has been studying hard and creating a near constant stream of music and noise in London Town. Including the mystical Tough Magic album, which he's giving away for free.



Richard (me, I) released a 7" with the other band I play drums in, Hot Damn. Released an EP with The North Pole, which I play bass & sing in and released a remix of a song luke & I did by the mighty Fall Of Efrafa... all on my housemates & I shambolic label. I've also been painting a whole lot.



So yeah, on top of all that we work and blah, blah, blah... you know, life and things. We're not planning on moving back to our parents' houses anytime soon, that's for sure.
As well as updating you on all that boring shit, we are actually going to be playing some shows! holy crapola. One is with our friends in Paint It Black and the others are with the almighty Dillinger Four. We'll let you know more when we know more. ok? Should be fun.

Uh, yeah i'm pretty bored now... hope you enjoy all the hyperlinks.

Love,

Richard.

Form a band

So the franchising thing has been done, i'm highlighting my ignorance of a band we ripped off. Oh well, who wants to start The Steal 2?

Garlic Twin Pack / Mr. Feynman

We done tour. It was good. Many thanks to everyone for making all the shows pretty much amazing. If you ever want to know how to put on a show get in contact with any one of the promoters who helped us out, holy crapola they were good.

We were fair to middling, we were ill... we didn't even get the chance to go insane. kinda figures when it's minus 11 and there's no heating anywhere. Summer tours ONLY from now on yeah guys?

I'm sure we'll put up some links to media related internet age business promotion fun times, if you have any 'shots' from any of the 'shows' we love seeing ourselves in the midsts of the high, with everyone along for the ride, so yeah, tell us where to look and we'll look.

Uh, AGAIN, we ARE breaking up... sometime around september. cheersthen.

Basically, THANKS, the tour showed us that punk rock CAN work and there are tons of amazing people out there doing their thing, doing it well and doing it for the fun of it, without any motive for reward or praise. yeah! great stuff...

(not really, they do it for the money, always for the money. the shits.)

Um, our series of 7" is starting in a couple of months by the way... they're all going to be secret. Look for clues.

New Year Tour

In a hope that we will start as we mean to go on, here is a video of a few songs from our New Years Day Kingston show to get the people up north excited. It was filmed by Treat, he is lovely.
