Like A Bull At A Gate
How do we follow the sad news in the previous post? It hasn’t been our most pressing concern, but it has crossed our mind. This wasn’t the plan… However, time marches onwards and needs must when the devil’s son drives into town.
The band is playing a gig at the Bull & Gate in Kentish Town (London), next Monday evening, July 5th. Stage time is 9:15pm and there’s a free guestlist. All we need is your names in the comments for this post by midday on the day itself.
In other news, we filmed a video for forthcoming single Devil’s Son on Saturday. The picture above shows a tired and achy band relaxing for five minutes in the late afternoon sun, before diving back into the hottest venue in the world for a final take.



if i wasn’t working like a cunt for some company i don’t necessarily care about i would make it down to this just to make the most of the free guestlist
i work till 9 mon-fri so until i book proper time off i won’t b able to see you guys :/

PEACE&STRUMS (as ever/always) x
Is it possible to stick 7 names down?
Chris Lilly
Alice Bigelow
Ruth Lilly
Jonathan Lilly
Michelle Frank
Alison Philcock
Sarah Burgess
Dorian – some other time. We look forward to it.
Chris – no problem… the more, the merrier.
I wish I could get to London for the gig. Looks like I’m going to have to wait until Latitude to see you guys play next.
Looking forward to seeing the video, I love the new version of the track! Browsing through a few old blog posts I came across the pics of you filming the video for Pirate’s Wife, I was wondering if the finished product may surface soon?

Hi Dan. Earlier on this year, Pirate’s Wife was a contender for first 2010 single, hence the video. Then we realised that for various reasons World’s End was a better choice for a song of that tempo.
We’ve tucked the PW video in our back pocket for now, along with the one that was made for How To Murder Birds last year. It’ll see the light of day later this year.
The new album has twelve tracks. There’s a madly ambitious plan to do a video for each of them! Devil’s Son is the fourth and we’re already talking about the fifth…
Yes please dears. Any opportunity to dance like a mad thing xx
Ah Yes! I remember the How To Murder Birds video. Would be great to see them at some point. But for the moment I guess I’ll have to sit here and get excited about the album. Thanks for the info Hg!
x
Nick Roseblade +2 please?
I can’t wait to see the new video and hear the new album. When are they both coming out?
I was wondering what happened to the How To Murder Birds video, I look forward to seeing it.
Can you put Daisy Parris and Ashley Jordan down on the guest list please?
Thank you!
Okay I just read somewhere that the venue is over 18s so I may not be able to come anymore
yes please x
BOOM! Fliss Winkley and Andrew Shields please… x x x
Just realised I’m losing count… Lest We Connect is on the album too, so that’s FIVE videos already, with the sixth currently being planned.
All being well, we’ll be releasing the Devil’s Son video on Monday 12th July, alongside the single itself. Just got the second set of footage from Dave Wise; frantic editing to follow.
All I can say about the album so far is “later this year”…
Keep those names coming!
Lisa Duck please! X
Seven names Chris Lilly?!? I may as well stick mine down as well then please – Samantha Findlay. Thanks
Me too please – Lorraine Walton. Thanksx
Could I get Rachael Baggett and Joanne Clarke on there please?
<3
Ruth Duffy
Olly Lewis
Just sat in my favourite spot up on The Great Lines, watching a bird of prey hovering and swooping, listening to ‘Affair To Strange Bizarre’… Bliss! Monsieur Driver and I would like 2 guestlist places si vous plait, and yet another grand opportunity to steal merch to trade on the black market. Thankyou punk frockers! Xx
Paul Legon +1 please
Thanks
Can you put us on the guest list even though we can’t come? It would make me feel better about it x
Can you add Lucy Parris to the list as well please x
Thanks for the names, everyone. Any more?
Slap – I’ll have my eye on you.
Silvia – I’ll buy a drink for you too, tho obviously I’ll have to down it myself.
Daisy – no prob, hopefully this means the over 18s thing wasn’t an issue?
Hg – you can have one drink for me, one for Paul and a double one for Lizzie and then sing the entire LC back catalogue loud enough so that we can hear it – we’re not too far x
Keep a weather eye on the horizon Hg.
Silvia – best not tell the bar staff one of my drinks is for a toddler, eh?
Slap – I’ll be paying close attention to the vanishing point in particular…
Best not. She’s not even a toddler yet! She’s also not allowed alcohol or teeth until she’s 30 at least.
I’m not sure there’ll be a vanishing point Hg… Maybe just a grey area where things swap hands.
Can I add Sylvia Gitau and Eddie Bowen too? The crew is slowly growing..x
Julia Grant + 1 please.
Hoping to increase on that plus one though. Working on it. x
Plus one’s name is Debbie Craxton. Please, thank you.
One for me please lina pereira c u soon x
Hope is well folks, if you could chuck Frank Kinsey down with a plus 3 if poss t’would be amazing, gonna see if I can drag some folks down.
Crossing me fingers ‘n’ toes I’ll make it, sbeen too long!!
Just one for me please Julia Pike
Sean Redmond plus 1
one for john. merci
Thanks everyone. List has now been submitted to venue. Any last-min stragglers can still have a go; if we manage to see the names in time, we’ll add them later. No promises!
Unfortunately, Bob’s ill so tonight’s full-band gig is becoming a solo performance instead. So sorry for the late notice, but it’s doctor’s orders and you don’t fuck with the doctor.
Looking forward to seeing everyone there.
