2012! We're not dead yet!

Hey, just checking in with an update to let anyone out there know we're still kicking.

End of 2011 saw us have to relocate our storage/rehearsal space and saw Knife Cutter go off around Europe for a bit.
We rounded off the year with a gig playing Nirvana's Nevermind in it's entirity as a birthday gift to our friend Mix-Up (and a treat for ourselves)
It was a blast.

But then we realised we didn't have any new music that we'd written ourselves in over a year that we didn't find re-hashed, forced or boring. So, we figured that's the most important part of being in a band and enjoying being in a band.

So since the tail end of 2011 we've not played a single gig but have now written at least 10 new tracks that collectively we're incredibly proud of and excited about. For now we're just carrying on doing that. Writing music. Concentrating on making music that takes us to new places and we're all digging.

Does this all sound like horseshit? Basically we got burnt out. We were not rocking hard enough.
Now we're getting back there!

OK, we'll be gigging again at some point in 2012.
James+Dan continue to take Knife Cutter to new places, Dave continues to fight the good fight in The Human Targets and the second we book our first gig it's going to be well worth heading out for!

In the meantime check out us being Nirvana:


And some fun had as Knife Cutter:

Nottingham. Tonighter.



Totally late to the party on getting this up on here. As this is TONIGHT.
We rocked with Latern For A Gale, Gascan Ruckus and Shuriken last night in Derby.
It was monumental. Some of the best bands we've seen in an age. Do yourself a favour and come down to this TONIGHT in Notts bruv.

Satans Mineons+KnifeCutter European Dates

So me and James from The Wickets make noise in Knife Cutter. You knew that right?
It's a 2piece caffeine and riff side-project.
Satans Mineons have been our friends as long as we've been a band.
They've just recorded an incredible new album and have it boxed up downstairs ready to take on the road. It's called 'Gnasha', is about 30 minutes long and has some of the best songwriting I've ever heard on it. It's loud too.

We're hitting Europe together for a bit, you'll be able to buy their new album, our old 10" and some T-Shirts and stuff:

We're in London tomorrow night playing The Good Ship in Kilburn with Il Brutto - Ryco Saints - New secret weapon. See you there? Mega. Right.

Cheers to Matt Hoyland for filming and uploading.

You can totally buy the new single HERE!!!!

Bit quiet at the moment whilst we figure out how loud we want our new songs to be. Once we figure that out we'll be back out there on the road.
We have a slot at the INFL Waterfront Festival in August, so prep for that folks.

Before and After

The day we left:


The day we got back (look! Money!):


Here's the last entry to our diary on Drop-D.

And a review in Dutch of the gig in Groningen...the most attractive place on earth.

A rough translation reads:
The Wickets "looked tired before the show (due to long hours in the van) but gave a very energetic show. Loud post-punk and well composed songs. A band that has a potential to reach a larger audience."

There are some great photos on there..so get involved!

COMING UP
Launch gigs for our new 7" single in Nottingham (Old Angel//May 19th) and London (The Victoria//June 9th) - - more details up soon!
