BORED??
.
i know that the erics are having a (nother) rest before the three horseshoes gig in headingley on sunday 12th aug at 8pm
.
but thats no reason to sit in front of the TV with a bargain bucket, a sticky toffee cheesecake and a crate of stella
.


MMMMMMMMMMMMMM
.
stella
.
why not get out and support some of the local live venues and bands
.
take this fri the 3rd,
it sees erics buds the BARE ESSENTIALS at the LION CAS , if you don't know the band, they're quite a lot like us as they've also got a big bald bloke playing geetar for them
.
(in the rather sexy shape of les)
.
plus the other guy on geetar ex eric phil (theres a clue in the name) has something very familiar about him too
.
on sat the 4th it is our very own drummer paul 'THE GOBs' barfday
.
(38 and he dosent look a day over the hill)
.
the picture below shows him helping out with the care in the community project in armley
.
sat also sees THE REAMS play the CROSS KEYS MORLEY , these guys also have links with the erics as one of them is big and bald
.
plus they do come to see us a lot
.
(hoping to get to see them sat)
.
and if that was'nt enough, on sunday 5th our very own sam 'THE KNOB' hirst will be playing with MOJO down at the Duck & Drake leeds
.
so get out and support your local scene
.
.
and speaking of penguins, we were all sad to hear that mike reid had died
.
(the good one unfortunatley, not the tosspot DJ)
.
seemed like a nice fella

SONGS IN THE KEYS OF MORLEY
.
another amazing gig at the cross keys morley
.
heres what they had to say on the pubs website
.
sat saw another hot steamy night at the keys with THE ERICS pulling out all the stops with two superb sesions in front of a packed house, and the movers and shakers were bopping from even the first number. The band introduced four new numbers not heard at the keys before, with an a exceptional rendering of going for gold from the boys from york SHED SEVEN nice to see they`ve re-formed , plus a well covered version of natural woman
.
The second set got off to a big start, by the third/forth number in the guys stormed into 99 red balloons, the lads had issued nearly everyone in the keys with a red balloon, most went bang but the rest filled the room as the song entered its first chorus(excellent sight & a good all round idea)
.
Special mention for little sexy dave & his flying high wire act on the seat bench backs & paul who went through the pain barrier to-wards the end of the gig with an ugly looking blister, but went through two encores ( ill mention it in despatches to the queen), big sexy dave & sam their impecable selves, all round, ferkin great night guys
..
great night, great review

NEW SONGS SHOCKER
.
yes, there have been (as yet unsubstantiated) claims in the music press and world media that the next erics gig at the CROSS KEYS MORLEY will see the band perform a total of FOUR new songs
.
at this moment, press restrictions dont allow us to publish any details of the new material, but after minutes of legal wrangling
(and a bribe to the court officials of two babs striesend tickets for ullerskelf working mens and a slap up meal at naseebs curry, pizza and keebab emporium)
it was decided that we were allowed to give you clues
.
the first song is a belter, a real singalong by a band called the....................
.

the next track is an old classic revisited after BSD's tour of the indie bars of shagaluf, plus they're local lads, the band is..................
.







the next one is a classic that just about every bugger knows, the band are the .................
.
and last but by no means least is a song first done by...................
.
but given a punked up reworking by...................
.
more info to cum

BSD over and out!

DON'T FORGET
.
?? HOTTER THAN JULY ??
.
first off, the tut gig on friday was a belter (and a melter) it was that good that it actually got LSD and PAUL THE GOB rather worked up into a sexual frenzy
.
(thank god for pay per veiw)
.
and could sunday teatime at the duck be any better, or hotter
.
and the answer to both has got to be a big FAT yes!!!!
,
the place was rammed with erics buds, roscoe regulars and all manner of music fans inbetween
.
(even BSD's twin made an appearence)
.
the first set was as tight as a ducks chuff, we did'nt need the extra lights for the end of wont get fooled as sams near orgasm made up for them
.
and everyone was up for a boogie during the second set including those at the back who were bouncing away like mad bouncing things on a hot bouncy plate
.
.
we do hope that no-one was offended by the BSD licking LSD's head pic
.
if you were
.
.
here it is again
.
.
in full colour
