OLO WORMS IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS!!

BONG!! THIS IS THE NEWS!! We have quit music and have moved into politics & banking (according to the Evening Post website below 'Bristol bank' !??).

This is pretty crazy. I don't really know what to say? errmmm..probably the most insane thing thats ever happened in my life! Our music and my rambling chat was broadcast into THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT!!!???!!?? The MPs were having some kinda debate about the BBC/6music and were all listening to us in there from 7-8pm. we didnt know bout this til after. shame they didnt hear 'Barber Shop'. I got interviewed on the phone and quoted (below).

In the evening post..


On their website..


OLO WORMS - BBC 6MUSIC LIVE SESSION


Yep!! We were on live radio! We performed live for Marc Riley on 6Music. We played 4 songs (1 of which was saved for Gideon Coe's show later). We had a little chat too. It was weird, but we loved it. Marc is a top guy. Bit strange meeting him having grown up listening to him.

We played..

Back From England
Neutral Zones
The Barber Shop
Sphinx

You can listen to the whole thing HERE (for another few days).

We have recorded it and will be posting it up for you to download soon.

Check out the tracklists, our photos, and some screengrabs of the webcam below..

SILVER COLUMNS REVEALED

TOXIC WAIST BAND TOUR - COLLAGES

"Men who look like they only took Pritt stick, some old technology and a Red Dwarf DVD box set with them on their travels" ..was how Platform.com described us yesterday when they posted our collages (below). Before the tour they had asked us to document it with photos or a written diary for their website. We thought we'd mash all our photos together so HJ made some 'orrible collages (using only the tour photos) as you will see below. They also asked us to introduce the results, which we did. You can read what we had to say by going HERE or enlarging the image below..
