I had a Lightspeed Champion show and Princess Leia was already taken,so I went for Han. At first they were going to give me random jedi,which I was not happy about AT ALL. It is marked in my book under 'grudges to keep'.

This one was ridiculous. We drank free cocktails and almost got blown into one of two pools. Later we played a pretty boring real gig in a real venue and went to a restaurant called Spaghetti Warehouse. That's right, Warehouse.

We played at a shop and the backstage was the staff green room which which was basically the room from Empire Records. The people who worked there were pretty much the cast of Empire Records. I was so excited I didn't eat my jelly beans.

We played at the Bowery Ballroom with a band called the Pigeon Detectives, and a band called Your Vegas, neither of which were from America. You can take the band out of Camden, but it will find you.
IN these pictures: It literally took Euan 35 minutes to write this setlist, Franny uses special powers to sell merch, we filled the your vegas mailing list up with some hilarious email addresses
