Song, by Toad Piss Up – The Bowery, 7th May 2009
We’ve not had a bloody good Toad Night for a while, so it really is about time one was on the immediate horizon. And it is! Next Thursday – a week tomorrow at time of writing – I have put together a lineup for Tigerfest which is sort of not really a Song, by Toad Records showcase.
Meursault, obviously, aren’t bad at all, but you know them already. They have a new EP out, did you know that? Available only from Avalanche Records, live shows and from the Song, by Toad Records site.

Inspector Tapehead are a band I rate very highly, and we are talking to them about releasing their album later this year, once they get it finished. This isn’t definite yet, but I am very much up for it so fingers crossed and all that.

The Japanese War Effort are currently working with Fabrikant and have a new EP out called King of Poland but, erm, well I really like what they (he, really: Jamie Scott) are doing so bugger it.

The whole business is going to cost you a fiver, which is a fucking bargain, frankly, and will be happening at the Toad’s venue of choice: The Bowery on Roxburgh Place. Doors are at about half seven, and the bar closes at eleven, so don’t be too tardy. Hope to see you there.
this sounds like a bloody good night of music. i love inspector tapehead i do. they were awesome at trampoline. can’t wait for the album.
why is mr toad riding a tiger??
toad + tigerfest = toad’s dominance i believe
It’s not about dominance, it’s just me trying to shoehorn the two bloody things into the same image during my lunch break.
Oh, and cheers Euan. Should be a fun night.
I don’t remember a Mr Tiger in Wind in the Willows. Was he on the side of the Stoats and Weasles or summat?
Like the Tiger.
Maybe a Panther next?
I don’t often have a whine on about anything but 7 days notice for us southerners is bloody rubbish. And if I wasn’t walking up mountains in the lake district I’d be buying beer for everyone. Drat!! in a fist shakey way
Maxwell – we’ll definitely be having a launch night for your album, which you will be headlining.
Cogstar – sorry, I was a bit disorganised on this one. How much notice would sir require?
Normally 5 minutes or less ‘do you fancy a beer?’ ‘erm yes let go’. Thats how it works. But a midweeker up North maybe 10 minutes or so.. hope its a good one anyway
Shit, ‘gulp’ that meens playing infront of others! not done that for a while: other that work have been quite reclusive the past couple of years!!! i am horrified and excited! Hmmmmm how do you play My ex-identity again?
