Not So Busy Bees
We must apologise for being extremely quiet of late. Or maybe you enjoyed it. Well it's not going to last...
Wills has been busy pruning his begonias so we haven't been able to get him to work...


Depending on your amount of mental imbalance we might have a nice thing on the way for you, (Don't get too excited).

PS: Got yer tickets for Fomfest and The Trip yeah?

The Loungs - Manchester City Video
Sit back and enjoy the wonderousness of innate babbling when cameras get thrust in the faces of five idiots.

FOMFEST!
We've just been confirmed to play the inaugural Friends Of Mine festival.
More info soon! In the meantime, get yer tickets bought. All together now... "Booooys!"

Back to The Zoo!
You're well aware of the deal by now... Party time yeah? Gintis album launch in St Helens... Messy? No doubt.

Seen Mancini Dancing
Massive "cheers" to everyone at the City game for a top day and for not bottling us off stage. Big shout outs and big ups to Josh our "slave" for the day (hope we didn't make too much mess)...
We would like to point out to the scary guys in the box next to us that we only wanted West Brom to score as in the picture below most of us were betting on a 3-1 result.
Hope the "dancing guys" got a free CD and we'll see y'all real soon.

The Loungs SMASH IT!
This Saturday, we will be playing a few ditties at The City of Manchester Stadium before the City game against West Brom.
If we see anyone "hanging out the back of it" then we'll let you know via the Twittersphere.

End Of An Era!
The final B-Side To A Non-Existent A-Side was sent out last night. If you missed out on them then shame on you... There will however probably be some way to download all thirteen wonderous slices of "stuff not good enough to put on a proper album" somewhere soon. A big thankyou to all of you who downloaded em, we might sort out something special just for you guys.
We'll be busy getting album 3 ready soon... No estimates of timescales shall be braved, so we'll just say it's due before the olympics.

Happy George Lamb Day!

This saturday we'll be playing at Capel Curig in Wales for the lovely John Lawrence. If you're anyway local then pop down to the best looking bar in the world. Details where they should be... Over.

Help Us Help A Friend
Jim Noir, (our old friend from the days when we worked in telesales together - see picture below) is having a little gig of his own at The Ruby Lounge on 18th November. He's asked us if we'll go down and help him out by bringing some people down, so we'll be playing a little set early on to get the ball rolling for him. Be nice if you could come...

Next Stop Camden

Gooood fun in Llanrwst... Big thanks to Gwion and all the Jen Jeniros...
Yr Ods were awesome, but not as awesome as Tir a Mor. Hell of a chipshop...

Next up is Camden (there's been a change of venue - check Gigs for info). Hope to see some old faces down cos its been a while... (Do they still think £5 for Double Vodka Redbull is an offer?) We've got plenty of pound coins to buy jokes off the irish homeless guy, so at least we'll be entertained, whether or not you will depends on if the Double Vodka Redbull price has dropped... L8ERS!

Long Time Gone...
It's been a long, long time since last we spoke. We are delighted to annunce we will be playing at Gwyl Gwydir, alongside the legendary Meic Stevens and Jen Jeniro (check out their album now for a special kind of brew)...
We're also playing darn Larndun in October, more details soon. Stay classy.

Visit the myspace for all details here.

Festival Fun!
Disgracefully late in putting this up but here goes...
A bastardised version of The Loungs will be performing at:

Amazing Video #4
The fourth installment from the Big Wow Mobile Video Library... No Ratboy this week, its out but instead we've got Mind Yer 'Ed Laaaaaaar! No expense spared, inspired by Avatar and Waterworld. Here it is...
Thanks to all who came to the Citadel, apologies for the lateness of the vid this week but I've been a bit ill... Don't fear, the next B-Side is being polished as we speak, just need it cutting into the wax cylinder then it'll be in yer inboxes...

"Not so good Al!"

Buy My Album...

6 Good - 6 Bad
6 Good
6 MORE SLEEPS TIL BIG WOW!!!
Unless you can get down to St Helens on Saturday where Kaleidoscope Records will exclusively be selling it early for the bargainous prix of £8.

6 Bad
BBC Muppets closing BBC6 Music. Adam and Joe is the only reason worth getting up for on a Saturday morning, and since they've been on hiatus I haven't. I'm still in bed from 10 Saturdays ago. Not just that, but it's home to Guy Garvey (NTL's best mate)and Marc Riley (Who was nice enough to put us on), and basically every show on there is infinitely better than ANY other radio station.
Hop over to http://www.love6music.com/ now and DO SOMETHING! ANYTHING!
BBC 6 is a platform for new bands to get a break and a place to hear some GOOD music (whatever that term means), instead of having Dross-Muzak-Drill-Pumped directly into your shit-filled-ears... If the BBC wants to save money, they shouldn't have bankrolled the promotion of U2's last slab of MOR-bland-as-you-like-sunday-driving-doing-the-laundry-shite... The band who earned more than anyone else last year should foot the bill for 6music. The government should bring in a "Bonotax"... Everytime he hypocritikilly bangs on about saving the planet he should have to pay either (and I'm being fair, I'm giving him a choice... I'm no Tory) £65,000,000,000 or have 30% of his bones broken live on TV by Barry Shitpeas...

In all this "cool music furore" let's not forget the closure of BBC Asian Network too. I'm not going to go into how much I love listening to it (some of my best friends etc...) because I truly never have, but surely it gets more listeners than BBC 7 and must supply more of a service to this nation than Chris Moyles bleating on about god knows what, (I'd like to mention a 'piece' he does daily but having never listened to the king-prole all I can think he does is drool loudly onto a mic'd up desk whilst his 'lackies' throw darts into a copy of The Star and read out whatever words they can pronounce on that page. They probably say the word 'random' a lot too.) every morning (yes thats right we were in parenthesis there for a while, better go back and see what the sentence was about) just so some hung-over-off-cool-cider-braindead-arse can "perk up" on his way to whatever he does to earn enough money each month to buy himself some stuff to make him feel better about being a worthless drain of oxygen.

This was a fartly-solicital blogcast from DTL. Apologies to people offended by the swearys, but I couldn't give a flying fuck. Please buy the album.

We've a couple of gigs to celebrate the launches of Big Wow and Fresh Hair Records, details in the 'GIGS' section as you'd expect...

We'll leave you in the knowledge that the next B-Side is being prepared as we speak, (just needs to brown on top now) and that we will not leave it another 3 years before the next album.

Just Two Guitar Bands...

Friday 5th Feb, The Royal British Legion, Wigan, £3 : Can't say fairer than that really...

Its not far off the release of Big Wow so soon you'll be able to get on down to HMV and demand they get you a copy... Or go somewhere where a man who knows too much about the career of Camel and Budgie will laugh at you... It's your choice... I know where I'd go...

This Is It!

Merry Christmas One And All!


Remember to save some money for "Big Wow"!

Winter Wonderland! B-side and a Gig!
Christmas Cloud Sounds is almost upon us. A very special one it is too... Our advice is to get there early if you want to get in...
The second B-Side to a Non-Exstent A-Side will be released 1st December... Guess the theme! You may say it's the only song YULE need to listen to all year! Get signed up to the mailing list skiddlers and you can have your very own slice of the mince-pie!


A: Christmas, it's a Christmas song...

Last Minute Gig!
We'll be playing at The Baker's Vaults in Stockport this Thursday if you can make it down... We were getting bored so decided to crowbar one more gig into the year...

If you missed Spooky Wooky (the first B-Side to a Non-Existent A-Side) then fear not... There's another coming along shortly, so get signed up to the mailing list ASAP.
See y'all soon...

Spooky Wooky!
If you're one of the literally tens of people who've signed up for the B-Sides to Non-Exstent A-Sides on the mailing list then check yer inboxes for the first installment.
If the track you get is only 1 minute long then try again, there seems to be a problem with the host at the moment. You will get the full track, not just a snippet... Although after a minute you may have had enough Spooky Wooky to last you a lifetime...

Don't forget, tonight's gig has been cancelled so why not just stay in and enjoy the last few days of "proper" teletext. My favourite page? P407 on Channel 4...

Friday's Gig Cancelled
Due to the closure of Indiependence in St Helens, the gig on Friday will be cancelled... After all the trouble we went to slashing ourselves for the poster too...

But never fear as there's still time to register on the mailing list to receive the very first B-Side to a Non-Existent A-Side EVER!!! Which will hopefully fulfil your Halloween needs.... Aaaaoooooooooooooowwwwwww!

Peace and Love, peace and love...

B-Sides To Non-Existent A-Sides!
