WE ARE
.
back in action at the
TUT AND SHIVE
yeadon this
sat 18th nov
.
which is great, not only because we get to flex our rock n roll muscles once again
.
it also gives us a chance to answer the second most asked erics related query

.

WHAT IS A TUT AND SHIVE??

notice sam (below) reading one of the many letter from our loyal fan on this very subject whilst drinking warm cats urine

.

professor dave of the university of big sexy has devoted most of his adult life to discover the truth behind the question of the tut , and with the help of his laboratory assistant/experiment sam, he has found that

'TUT'

is an old giptonion word which roughly translated means

BIG

.

BEAUTIFUL

.

BOUNCY

.

BOUNCY

.

BOOBIES

.

and after much searching through the morley town hall records, our duo discovered that

'SHIVE'

was a word once used to describe a type of foodstuff specially prepared to feed the once large pigmy population of churwell who would live and work in the beer cellars of the small community

namely a large chocolate sponge cake covered in small candy covered chocolate drops

.

put together with

'AND'

which means . . . and

and all becomes perfectly clear

.

TUT AND SHIVE

means

and i quote

'a small but perfectly formed two legged horse'

.

see you at the a small but perfectly formed two legged horse on sat

LIONFEST
.
Due to circumcisions beyond our control we are not playing the lionfest this sat (11th nov) which will be held, strangely enough at the lion pub in sunny Castleford
.
There is however a number of great bands playing at this great indoor festival which raises spondoolies for the yorkshire air ambulance
the day starts at 12 noon with the last band taking to the stage at 11pm
bands will roughly follow this order
.
Silent Sundays
sorry but I dunno about these guys
.
No Mercy For Percy
regulars at the front of erics gigs, ryan and the boyz are a treat to watch, playing punked up versions of old classics and newer rock/punk
.
girl kills boy
gentle giant TANK and the lads deliver original pop/punk material in the same vein as blink 182, alkeline trio and jimmi eat world
good band
.
Dosch
these guys are apparently very entertaining and bloody great at their craft, which is r and b injected with a good sense of humour in the style of doctor feelgood, wilco and the sensational alex harvey band
.
Riff Raff
landlord H's band, and as far as I'm concerned the best sounding AC/DC tribute around, sticking to the bon scott stuff and doing the great man proud
.
Angabart
all I know about these guys n gal is that they are a female fronted rock covers band that feature malc (lion pa gadge) on guitar
.
The Spunksters
malcs back again with the spunky foursome (OOOER!!!!) to give us non stop punk classics, all delivered by the quite marvellous lenny on vocals (don't forget the bus pass) BRILLIANT
.
Cat House Creepers
what better way to end the night than donning your beetlecrushers, drainpipes and salmon pink blazer to bop along to these three rocker, rollers who were apparently accidentally frozen in muggings butchers freezer in 1955 and since defrosting a few years back have been ripping up the live circuit with their non stop show
.
So show your support by getting along
(plus lagers only £1.30 a pint)

??HATES??

.


.
just the other night, as the erics boys were settling down for afternoon tea on the veranda of eric villas overlooking the majestic gasworks of the up and coming seaside market town of pontefract, we began to mull over our pet hates
what is it that gets our goat
who or what curdles our milk
treads on our cornflakes
and generally pisses us off
.
below you will find a few of these hates, dislikes and tosspots
.
undigested chinese food
.

pushy groupies
.
backstabbing, lying, bastard cowards
.
vindaloos
.
hangovers

.

backstabbing, lying, bastard, coward butlers

.

ugly groupies

.

if you have any suggestions to add to this list we would love to hear them

just leave them in the comments bit below

LIONFEST = BUGGER!!!
.
we wont be playing the lionfest as originally posted

we only asked if we could play at the last minute and with all the other bands already confirmed there just wasn't enough room to get us on
but make sure you get there if you can
its to raise cash for the Yorkshire air ambulance and there are some cracking bands on
.
we have been promised a slot at the next one in Feb '07
.
so its a while til we are playing again up at the tut n shive on sat 18th nov
.
if you find that you need shot of rock n roll before then , why not check out the Rock of the North gig guide
.
are at the The New Roscoe this fri 3rd
or go see splinter this sat 4th at Maguires (near the roscoe)
and you may well bump into one off us, on the other side of the monitors for a change
.
