Hahaha oh, my darlings. My day has been so vomiting rainbows and singing kittens glorious and massively, arse clenchingly slam your head against the wall disappointing, I am just haha in a fucking daze. That could be the also a result of the incredible afternoon drunk that Strays, Inc™ achieved today that I'm trying to stabilize from. That's what ( Read more... )

Settling back into the routine today. Feels weird cause the last two weeks have been just sort of...flouncing around while we waited for Paul to come back from his holiday to finish up our EP. Thank god we're back starting tomorrow, I am bored out of my small mind.

Had Midday Monday Mandolin Madness lessons with Lin, which was always a delight. ( Read more... )

Mmmm Del just set the sleeve of his pullover on fire trying to soder or weld or something. I don't know what any of this shit in here is called. It smells like someone lit one of Cher's wigs on fire. Unappealing. Oh, calm down, he's fine. Though I probably shouldn't laugh too loud or he won't agree to help me fix this pedal board once he's done ( Read more... )

Alright, Boners. Let's do this.

After a weekend of drinking and feeling rather sorry or ourselves and doing piss poor piss up performances in Del's garage to the new Kanye West album we've decided we're going to start playing out again because we haven't done a great job of that. Come watch us dry out and play you some songs at our old stomping ( Read more... )

I am cashing in ALLLLL of our Karma Points right here and now.

So, Paul, our glorious, producer has been slumming it with us at night and fitting us in between jobs, because, amazingly, he genuinely believes in The Strays and wants to help us get somewhere. He also just finished a gig for his actual day job of producing legit bands with legit deals ( Read more... )

Strongly considering staying in bed all day, seeing as I think this is the first time in a month I've been able to sleep past 9am...and clearly now the motivation to get up and be productive has left the building. Along with my liver, possibly. And the new super soft sheets I put on the bed yesterday are not doing anyone any favours ( Read more... )

Awesome fill in on Sunday.
Storming gig tonight.
Lindsay will learn the violin. (Pip and I will have matching head wounds when we swoon and fall into a bookcase.)

I had the best post-gig drink tonight.
I'm going shopping at lunch tomorrow.
And the strays have two - count em, two - meetings with producers this week.

Headline spot at the Barfly on Friday.

This week has been a bit mad but I'm so hyped up right now I can't sleeeeeeeep so I know tomorrow at work is going to be a joy.

Last night I went out and had drinks with Cakes that I don't even have to say somehow spiraled out of control because it was a night out with the two of us. I have been eying up my tea pot wearily all night.

I played a bit ( Read more... )

Hellooo. So unless you've been boycotting us or under a rock (the latter is probably a better idea) you know about our hostile take over at Reading. I couldn't possibly tell the story better than Dajve did on her LJ so I'll leave it at that. <3 But boys are pussies and Dajve is the most entertaining person I've possibly ever met the end.

Also I'd ( Read more... )

I have 57 drop cards with our single and two of our studio demos on it for Reading. I have my most fuck me heels and a dress that even Beyonce would deem worthy to rock and sohelpmegod if Dajve is giving me the chance, I will hustle my arse off to get something rolling ( Read more... )
