November 2008
Ok, you lot. The plan is this. Oi Mush is going to be a single next year. I'm doing a video and everything! Propah! The albums are getting remastered, repackaged and rereleased on my new label and a new album will be out too. So my head's right down for 2009 at the moment. Stay tuned, it'll be whopper.
In the meantime, Tantrum promotions are organising the Cardiff event for the global party that's going to happen on George Bush's last day in office, January 20th 2009. They've selected the track George Bush RIP from Costly Pills and Hash to be the theme song. This is basically Clash of Civilisations from the album I'm a Suicide Bomber in Your Heart remixed by Johan Flapsandwich, Sweden's premier electrogod.
YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE TRACK HERE FREE BY CLICKING ON GEORGE'S STOOPID FACE!!!!
The Facebook group for the global party can be found here. The facebook group for the Cardiff event can be found here.

Thanks to all those who came to see me over the summer, and a big shout out to all the stages who put me on, (put up with me...?) - you know who you are!!!
The plan is now to record a new album, release a new single with a few live dates chucked in for good measure. As always, I'll keep you posted.

If you're trying to download the new album, it's
no longer available for free!! Radiohead managed millions and 250
of you downloaded mine! So there! Hope you enjoy. Gonna have to sell
some copies now, as I'm on the road the rest of the summer. Catch you
at the next gig.
March 2008
Whoopeee!!! The new album is done, it's called "Costly Pills and Hash," and if you go to the music page you can download it all for free! I've just come back from New York where I did a few shows and had a gay old time. Interestingly enough, since I came back from the States, I noticed from my webstats that the US Military has visited this site SEVEN times! Make yourself at home boys, and enjoy the music.
Autumn 2007
Well, the cold nights draw in and all that. Must be time to stay indoors
and start recording the new album! In between bouts of dreaded manflu,
of course......Thanks to all those who helped me out and came to see
the shows this summer, espcially Tom, the Eco-Arcadia crew and Stan,
Sho and Minnie. In the meantime, kick back and enjoy the winter, and
if you're really stuck for something to do, check out the new songs
on my MySpace site. I recorded them with a Folk/Americana artist called
Dave Adamson based up in the valleys here in South Wales. Youknowsit.
April 2007
Welcome to the new site. Hope you enjoy! Summer is lookin' awful busy....
Been busy and doing all sorts of gigs in strange places. Matt and Will from Kilnaboy have been adding accordion and fiddle to some of the stuff. New recordings coming up soon!

January 2007
January?? What the heck....?!
Mad start to the year. Thanks to all who came down to Callaghans in Cardiff for the launch party of Home Thoughts From Abroad - what a ripper! Oooooo!
Gigs getting booked up for later in the year. But the main thing coming up is the Get Well Soon Party at the end of the month and National Phone in Sick Day. These promise to be the events of the year - already! Check out the GIGS section for details.
There should be some new tunes up in February and an exciting collaboration to talk about. Stay tooned!
November/December 2006
At last finished the new album! There are copies for sale - you can pick them up in the MUSIC section!!!!
At the moment, I'm doing a few political fundraisers/awareness
shows, (see gigs section) and working on some new stuff. There should
be some surprises for the live set as well…. Dates planned for next
year include the US and Ireland as well as UK festival dates.
But having said all that it'll all probably go tits up innit!..

July 2006
This month I shall mostly be in Brazil. The plan is to hang around, play some music and generally make a prize pillock of myself. Nothing unusual there, except the weather the scenery will be better than what I am used to!
I'm hoping to spend some time living in a jungle, sing on Ipanema beach and, for those of you who like your hardcore politics, hang out with this lot as well.
I'm also going to try and regularly update a new blog all about it, (net cafes permitting), and you can find it here.
The other news is that hopefully there should be some new recordings to come from the whole mission. Watch this space!
