a Rob blog

September 26, 2009

Hello you sexy starfish, Rob here admitting that we have been truly awful at writing blogs recently.  I’d love to pretend that it’s been because we’ve been busy endlessly touring the world, but I’m not going to lie to you.  Instead, here is a list of some of the things that have happened in our lives recently:

  • I went to see Pearl Jam in London, which was literally the best show of all time.  The Beatles at Shea Stadium has been deleted from the world’s memory as it was simply rubbish in comparison.
  • Stee J schmoozed his way backstage at Reading Festival.  We’re now booked to headline in 2056.  We’ll try to be as good as Radiohead were this year.
  • Shane got all his new shiny tattoos finished off.  None of us thought they were rubbish, which must have been nice for him.
  • Marc and I lost Sonny, and so set up a detective agency.  We found him chasing spiders in a snooker club.
  • Shane had his name changed to Mel…..by us……just to annoy him.

That’s been about it really.  On the musical side of things, many copies of our debut album, ‘Lost Days & Nights’, are about to be born in a big CD factory.  Hooray, it’s about time, I know!  What’s that?  Where can you buy a copy of this incredible album with its 11 amazing songs, its equally stunning artwork and lyrics?  Well I’m telling you now that we are in the process of building a glittering new DA website with a glimmering shop within.  ITunes will probably be a good bet too.  We’ll let you know.

OR, if you really want to get into our good books, you will come to a live show, have your face melted by our guitar-driven dance rock, then buy a copy afterwards.  I will hand it over to you personally, and personally worship you for a few moments for being so kind.  Please do this.  Shows will be arranged very shortly – we’re currently dedicating 100% of our time rehearsing so we can get out there and rock out.

All in all, it’s exciting times for the boys of Dear Acetate.  We’re jazzed about it all.  I don’t have a picture of us all looking deliriously stoked, but this is probably an accurate depiction of how we’re feeling currently.

Take it easy, more news soon.  Much band love
