DO YOU LOVE YOUR LOCAL SKATESHOP? We love ours. It's called LOST ART and they're so awesome that they don't seem to mind when those without jobs spend entire mornings in there talking absolute rubbish, drinking barrels of bitter black coffee.
Our friend Nick Brown who loves pointing cameras at us has started a sweet little youtube channel in conjunction with Lost Art called Lost Notes. So far he's only uploaded a few music clips but be sure to check back/subscribe to see more content documenting the more wonky things that happen in and around our native Liverpool.
I did a small performance of Mark Magill's (SSS, Grampus Eight, Meow Meow) Sea Shanty Number 9. We'll be doing our very own Lost Notes Hot Club de Paris performance in the nearest of futures.
Speak soon,
Love Paul.x

THURS dAY FRIDAY JOAN OF ARC SUMMER
Hey the kids.
Look at the weather! Have you seen it? It looks a little bit like THE SUMMER.
We are playing some shows! We have played some shows! Three out of four of those shows have been with/will be with JOAN OF ARC who as some of you may know are a completely AWESOME band and part of the reason why HOT CLUB DE PARIS exist.
Thanks to those of you who turned out to see us and them and Johnny Foreigner at Fighting Cocks in Kingston last week. We had as much fun as we always do in Kingston.
Thanks to those of you who came to see us, The Heebie Jeebies, Blacklisters and that other band that sounded a bit like DOG EAT DOG at the Harley in Sheffield on Sunday.
Tomorrow (THURSDAY 4th JUNE) we are playing with JOAN OF ARC again at the Independent in SUNDERLAND. As some of you Sunderland kids know, we swerved our last show there, which is something we hardly do. Sorry about that. But we're back! TOMORROW! SRSLY.
And then on Friday we play with JOAN OF ARC and SHIELD YOUR EYES in our hometown of Liverpool at the Kazimier. I think this one might be one of the best Liverpool shows ever, so be there.
Just think, it might be as good as the first time Mates of State dropped jaws at the Slaughterhouse, or when the original line up of Dananananananananaykroyd destroyed Korova, or seeing Minus the Bear get their knickers in a twist at Heaven and Hell whilst Broomo from Walk the Plank played his guitar upstairs, dressed as a pretty convincing Rocky. It might be as good as the Down and Outs first ever show or when Architecture in Helsinki delivered the goods at the Masque, or when Enablers stormed through their journey on the hottest day of the year sometime during the 24/7 days. It might be as good as Lungfish! Municipal Waste! The Wow when the Magnet was tiny!
Just as a side note; Remember when you used to be able to watch a Deep Elm band everyday of the week?
OK. HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON.

NOWSER!
Right. Teenage Lust did a compilation that you can download for a quid. We made up a song called Extra Time Then Sudden Death which is featured upon it. All the other songs are good, as far as I can tell from the tiny clips on the site. Totally buy it and enjoy supporting truely DIY music please.
Lately, our friends have been saying things like "Hey, isn't it rad that you guys are playing with Joan of Arc in Liverpool, Kingston and Sunderland?" and we have been saying things like "Yeah, it is totally rad! JOA are partly responsible for our band existing in the first place so playing shows with them will be a supreme honour." Look at our forthcoming dates to see when you can clap your peepers upon us and them on our MYSPACE.
What else? Oh yeah, we've almost written our next record. We've been recording demos but today our computer broke down for seemingly no reason. Computers are pricks. Anyway, we're going to find some sort of way to make our music come into the world and towards your ears in the near future.
Good things of late:
1. Our roomates Bendal Interlude and Bow & Arrow both turning in beyond awesome sets at the Zanzibar last Sunday.
2. Married to the Sea throwing a severely wonderful party and entertaining us with a dead along set of terrific covers last Saturday.
3. Cold Ones at The Picket, Liverpool on Thursday.
4. I got a new bike.
That's it. What's happening with you?
