Song, by Toad Christmas Party
Well well well, this should be fun. And messy. And fun. But probably mostly messy, I should imagine.
I’ve booked out both floors of the Queen Charlotte Rooms down in Leith, so we are going to have two stages. The downstairs room will be with a full PA, with Jesus H. Foxx, Inspector Tapehead and Meursault playing. And the upstairs room will be a bit more acoustic, with Yusuf Azak, Rob St. John and The Savings and Loan. It won’t be entirely acoustic, but the room itself has no sound-proofing so we’ll have to keep things relatively quiet so we don’t get the Queen Charlotte Rooms in trouble.
Tickets are going to be limited to about 170 or so, so I guess it’s probably wise to buy them up in advance. There will be DJs too – probably myself for a bit, and I would imagine Michael H. Foxx, but if anyone’s specifically up for it then feel free to let me know and I am sure you can have a turn on the decks. Or CDs. Or iPods. Or whatever else you fancy I suppose.
And erm, that’s about it, really. Good bands, getting pished, and erm, I’d recommend taking Friday off work because it’s eagleowl’s party the next day and then Kid Canaveral’s after that. Sunday may need to be entirely slept through I imagine!
Tickets can be bought in advance from here.
And for those of you who don’t visit this site all that often, here are some songs from the bands who will be playing:

do you know what the capacity of each room is out of curiosity?
Well about 170 in total, but the upstairs room can only hold about eighty, so we’ll have to be a bit sensible and accept that not everyone can see all the acoustic bands, I think.
Love the artwork, wish I could attend. Is it too early to say happy holidays?
Not until at least after my birthday, which is next Friday. And holidays? It’s Christmas innit? I’m no Christian as you well know, but I find all this pussyfooting around kind of annoying. It’s not even a Christian festival anyway.
I will reserve my well wishes till next week then. Weekend Birthdays are sooooo much better. There’s always more people out to buy you a cocktail then say a Tuesday night. Mine is the Thursday after, Thanksgiving Day here in the States.
That could be quite mental if managed properly!
Great poster!
The creepy drunken Toad Fairy does it every time!
This sounds all kinds of awesome and a really braw poster! You should design things for a living…
Oh and thanks for the Droney Mitchell song. It has really whetted my appetite (see, I’m not a dick all the time!)
I thought you were photoshopping your head onto a lingerie model!
Happy pagan midwinter festival!
Yeah, an overweight Toad in a tutu was the best lingerie model I could find, sorry!
Every culture on Earth has a midwinter festival. Christians can fuck off with their stupid myths.
Actually, what happens on the darkest day in Scientology? I bet it’s fucking awesome!
…any chance muggins here could have a turn on the decks?
Er, I think that would be rather splendid, go for it.
Thank you!!
Could I use your vinyl decks, please, iPod is being very temperamental…
Decks? Ah yes, I should sort out some decks, shouldn’t I.
Scientology? They probably just disconnect.
