SHOP

Here are some of our older songs in a format you can own and cherish.

We’ve recently finished mixing and mastering some new stuff which is going to be floating around in various formats. Definitely on the myspace and the bigcartel site.

So check the site for other stuff we might decide to make and give to people.

Our night!

We're putting on another night with Scene not Herd! YEAH

Hello.

We've been recording.

It will probably sound like this



but mixed with this



and each one will be delivered in one of these

Fame?

I was supposed to put this up a while ago. Oooh it's only a bit of fun but what is key here, is that we had our name in the fire hazard that is the London Lite. Which puts us up there with Peaches Geldoff and Girls Aloud. Which is something to really brag about.

Beet Roots and Leaves

Check out these cheeky snaps of PatioSetUK's featured reader's wife, Gareth John.

He'll be telling you a little bit about how to make Beetroot Soup. Needless to say he can beet/beat our soup whenever he wants. ROFL. Or our roots for that matter.

(having only taken photos of the second half of my venture, you will have to imagine the first half. I've also forgotten the ingredients, so you'll have to imagine those too)




So, by now you will be boiling your ingredients over a heat with water on them.


Ensure that they remain so.




Take out your pickled gherkins and, bear with me...


HA



Stir in with GOATS' CHEESE until the two are mixed.



It looks shit, but that's cos I ain't got a good camera. In the light of day the rich, anaemic greens of the gherkins and the dull grey of the cheese are a feast for the eyes. Not just the stomach.


Return to your hot canister of INGREDIENTS and turn the hot air underneath it off.



Put it in one of these and, at this point, forget to take anyt photographs. This will ensure that the most exciting part of your evening (read: week) will not be documented.

The lid of your thing should look like this





Then simply pour it all in to nice Ikea bowls that your landlord bought and put the weird cheese and gherkin thing in.



Cloak your soup in shadow and consume with what looks like the end of a snooker cue.

I hope this helps!!!
