TITS OOOT
.
.
sun early doors saw us play our last gig for landlord alwin at the new inn churwell as he is leaving, its not the best venue for a live band layout/spacewise, but in a lot of ways it is one of the best gigs we do
.
and thats down to our mates, locals and piss heads who always turn out in force whenever we play there
.
and there were a lot of 'em
.
cheers to 'shake and vac' mal of the SPUNKSTERS for getting up to warble his tonsils on a song about w*nking
.
and cheers also to the chunk of hunk from THE CATAPILLAR HEROES that is crusher for his panty dampening performance at the end of the night
.
we had a belter and hope you did too
.
if you missed it get your arses over to the carriers morley on fri 4th april for more of the same

LITTLE SEXY HERO
,
myspace.com/theericsrock
.
yes, our very own dave of the sexiness of the little kind stepped up to be counted recently
.
on visiting the famous cas vegas strip to check out gud buds THE CATAPILLAR HEROES in the crimea he found them in a bit of a state, they were due to go onstage but their bass player had'nt turned up and could'nt be found
.
and seeing as he knew none of the songs and had never played bass before, he agreed to stand in, and did a sterling job
.
crush made this statement to the castleford fishing and ferrets weekly after the gig
,
'i never realised how sexy the little one was until today and i now want to make babies with him'
.
high praise indeed!

BIG BAD BIKER BASH

.

.
but we did managed to get off site just as the snow began to settle
.

A BIT LATE I KNOW
.
.
sorry about this but i only found out last night that for some reason we are still down on the new roscoe website to be playing there fri 21st march, this is a date that we never agreed to do as we have been booked for the east leeds lions bash for over a year on that date
.
sam phoned the landlord a while back to get him to remove the date from the site but its still there
.
if you were thinking of going down we are definatley NOT on!!
.
if you were the kind of person who saw bad in people you may come to the conclusion that in leaving our name on the site he is sure to get a full pub
.
hopefully this is not the case
.
as stated earlier on fri night we ARE DEFFO playing the east leeds lions biker bash
.
the line up is
.
.
.
MOTUS - 8pm
.
erics - 10pm
.

its predominantly a bikers event (£18 on the gate for bikers) but there is a £5:00 a day charge for anyone who wants to come and see some of the regions top bands (does not include camping) there is a pub on site but also a bar in the marquee and food stalls and assorted traders plus a rock disco between the live entertainment also featuring the famous Lions foam cannon
.
there is a car park which the pub will be charging a fee to park your vehicles on
.
(Fee per car, so bring some friends and make it cheaper if you must come in a car "limited space") and remember this event raises money for Yorkshire Air Ambulance....
.
more details and directions at the
east leeds lions site
.
it might be an idea if theres a few of you to try a taxi as the car park may already be full + that way you can all get ratted
.
we are also hoping that little sexy will wear his slash hat, its not called that because it looks like guitar hero slashes hat
.
its just that we all piss in it when we're in the back of the van on long journeys
.
NICE!!

PULL THE OTHER ONE
.
.
As often happens in matters of great pubic importance, erics towers was inundated with mails and calls to provide a statement to appease our ever growing fan base over one of the biggest rock n roll divorce cases of the century
. and after a lot of soul searching, hours of talks and much deliberating this is what the lads had to say
. ‘The erics would just like to say how over the moon and ecstatic they are that the long john silver of the tree hugging fraternity, Heather Mills, has been awarded 24 million quid in her divorce from big hearted, bloodhound faced, used to write good songs type bloke sir Paul McCartney’
.‘Maybe now she can just shut up and f**k off’

SPOILT FOR CHOICE
.
.
we have decided to cancel the wembley stadium gig at the weekend due to the amazing demand for tickets, it was deemed by those in the know that the gathering of 70,000 sexed up hot and horny females may have ended in trouble, so we are having a well earned rest instead, but does that mean the you have to go without your recommended dose of rock and er roll?
.
does it chuff
.
for fri night sees erics big buds (even tho they're 'ickle) NO MERCY FOR PERCY strutting their sexy thang at the royal oak, glasshoughton, castleford
.
.
.
whilst on sat night our vey own sams supergroup MOJO will be giving it a bit of blue for the gathered punters down at the fox n newt leeds
.
great boozer this one, with a cracking atmosphere and some great beers, run by gerry and trish
.
lovely couple, but they do talk funny , not like wot us lot frum up round here do like if yer know wot i means spud!
.
.
.
then to wind the weekend up in a fine stylee it is over to the 70's - 80's rock/punk/glam boogie sexgod machine that is AFTER DARK strutting their stuff over at the lion in castleford, it has been advised that ladies wear double gusset big knickers as the band actually cum with a government health warning due to their extreme sexyness
.
(think of a mixture of brad pitt and the chuckle brothers)
.
onstage 7pm ish
.
the week after we play a private do on the sat, but we are headlining the East Leeds Lions Easter Rally on the fri, everyone welcome at £5 a ticket and for that you get four bands in a massive (up to 2,000) marquee
