Man, someone has definitely put some kind of crazy voodoo curse on the band: getting back on track at the arse-end of 2004 has been tough, cos some prankster god keeps throwing things in the way...

The latest bad news is Rich avec bursto ear-drum following a pair of drunken f**kwits attempting to mug and beat the crap out of him and a mate in Chester last weekend. Not nice, especially when that injury affects the music he plays and loves... He's having a hard time listening to the TV at the moment, so looks like gigs are off for the next few weeks at least until he finds out whats the next step for that all-important flap of flesh in his inner ear. Unfortunately, this includes the Xmas party, which has now been cancelled.

So, all together now, wish Rich a whopping Get Well Soon from all of us.

Take care all,

P
