GLASTONBURRRRRRRY

So we got asked to play the BBC Introducing Stage at this years Glastonbury festival, so we thought we’d better to it. Cue tears of overwhelming joy and anxiety.

We got the coach down to the festival site which was STRESS. FUL. So when we got to Glastonbury we indulged in some retail therapy. Rosie bought a tshirt with owls on. Hooters for her hooters:::

Smit isn’t one for shopping so he scarpered.

While he was gone we found this and it was one of the most thrilling moments of our lives…as this photo aptly demonstrates:::

You can’t see clearly as we only took disposable cameras, but that is our band name on that massive poster covered in shit. Honest.

A little later on we felt a huge sigh of relief as we found Smit wandering around in the Green Fields:::

It was lucky we found him when we did as soon it was time to play. We got ourselves geared up backstage. Nerves were rife:::

The tension was not helped by the fact we were hanging out with some right weirdos backstage:::

Rosie had to take some homeopathic remedies and felt much MUCH better:::

She also took a minute to check all her equipment was working. She was confident it was:::

And yet when it came to crunch time, the equipment got the willies more than we did:::

Turns out the stage hands at Glastonbury are the nicest ever and all the issues were soon ironed out and it was time to play.

IT WAS IMMENSE:::

So good in fact we indulged in some totally hot (totally legal) graffiti:::

To celebrate playing the best freakin’ festival EVERRR we got crunk drunk:::

Then went for a relaxing two hour walk up to the Stone Circle, but it was totally worth it:::

The last day of the festival was HOT. Some would say too hot:::

But Smit seemed to have no qualms with getting down with his bad self in the heat:::

Rosie was so thrilled she donned some pastels:::

We also got invited to do an interview on the legendary Worthy FM. We were all so excited, but their excitement waned when they realised that we were turning up and not Diva Fever.

One can see how they would get confused:::

Totally get why they were disappointed… It’s ok though, we were casual, breezy and professional and managed to saved face:::

While we were at Glastonbury we bore witness to some truly amazing things, and for these we will be forever grateful:::

(let it be known I did not take the above photo, although I did encourage it)

(the same applies to this one, except I both encourage it and took it)

SO that was our weekend in a nutshell!

The fields need a rest an so do we.

NEWBLOGGITYBLOGBLOGBLOOG.

Hey Sistas. Been a while since the last blog. So I dug up some moving pictures, frozen in time, for you. Stop. Look. Listen.

YOU'RE WELCOME:::

Also, here are some delicious photos of the day we realised Rosie's ACTUAL THUMB IS A COCKTAIL SAUSAGE. Watch the magic unfold:::

You are so freakin' lucky. I wish I was looking at this for the first time.

In other news Smit has had a haircut. His first since 1996.

This inspired Rosie to take on the near impossible task of counting all of the hairs on her head.

Ellie has remained largely the same. Neutral.

BUT there is exciting news to come about recording and gigs and what not, so keep your peepers peeled my juicy bowl of sugarplums.

THE BLOODLESS EP TOUR: Part Six

We woke up having not gone to sleep and went for a truly horrifying breakfast:::

I think at this point death would have been a blessing:::

The the final straw:::

We were however pulled back from the point of no return by this:::

THANK GOD we found a wig shop. Smit had started to get the shakes. Needless to say we bought our fresh lace wigs HERE...

...6 smooth and enjoyable hours later in the van we arrived in Walsall. We couldn't believe our luck:::

Our spirits were soon cheered by the arrival of the Bethan 'best-heighted-person-to-hug-in-the-world' McKnight... AND she brought us homemade bakes:::

WOW:::

OH WAAAAOW:::

We were pretty tired. Rosie sailed away to Hushabye Mountain:::

She got there in the arms of a flightless grey-winged bird.:::

This was definitely the best night of the tour*.

THE BLOODLESS EP TOUR: Part Five

Thursday brought us to the big smoke. But first we enjoyed a power nap:::

Suddenly Smit had to take an urgent call:::

It was OK though, it was just Willy Wonka calling to warn him about the pubes in his sweets:::

Finally we arrived, full of beans, at XFM in time to do our live session:::

In our family portrait we look pretty happy

Lets play pretend, let's act like it comes naturally

I don't wanna have to split the holidays

I don't want two addresses

I don't want a step brother anyways

And I don't want my mom to have to change her last name:::

Smit ran away pretty soon after that photo was taken. We looked for him everywhere and eventually found him hiding in this tiny box:::

Rosie's mouth got cold because she left it open too long. It had to quickly put its coat on:::

When our beady eyes clocked this gem, we CRIED*:::

We all reached the speedy conclusion that we had embarrassed ourselves long enough and busted a groove. When we got back in the van to drive to Brixton Helen seemed different somehow, distracted:::

Smit thought he smelled something fishy:::

But Helen insisted she was alright so we trundled on to the Windmill. This is one of our most favourite places in the world. We played with the wonderful Local Girls:::

And the gorgeous Something Beginning With L:::

The gig was as hotter than the hottest quiche you have tasted and after we had had our fill of Lorraine we went back to lovely Jen and Johns hoose from SBL. Whilst we were there we all had to squeeze on one sofa. Thats just the way it is:::

(Ellie had been slipped some moonshine)

Marble Arch. That's right mother:::

For much of the evening, Rosie and JenFuse looked smug in the kitchen. When Jen drinks wine she HAS to stand at a right angle. Thats just the way it is:::

We discussed the importance of being earnest:::

and Ellie and Smit got married:::

But then quickly divorced after Smit witnessed this display:::

I feel there's not really anything left to say anymore other than SHOW US YOUR SWANS:::

Morning Hair:::

Shower Hair:::

None of us washed on this day.

*IN OUR PANTS.
