Break/Brake!

Alright!

Once upon a time a guitarist called Ronaldo got battered and went for a merry jaunt down Blue John mine... well, it just so happened that the Mine had not eaten for such a long time and it’s favourite snack was Heavy Metal guitarists’ arms... no sooner had young Ronaldo started his descent, dressed in his shiniest sequin flares, 8 inch platforms and sparkly face paint, than the cave gave a mighty rumble and started to chew on Ronaldos arm...

...so basically something like the above actually happened, which means that all my previous talk of ‘The Plan’ was only true for literally a couple of hours...

Turns out that Ronnie’s arm will take about a month to heal and then at least the same to re-strengthen...

What this means is that we will have to cancel all outstanding gigs and have to relinquish the idea of playing shows until late July at the earliest. Now, while on the surface ‘The Plan’ may seem to have been obliterated, here at MOTM, we are far more conniving than you might at first think.

All it means is that we will now spend the rest of May, all of June and most of July writing new material and hopefully – hopefully – book some shows for the last week of July and the first 2 weeks of August.

We also hope to get some recording done. We have a couple songs ready to record and as soon as we have another tune nailed we will, again hopefully, head into the studio, record them bad-boys and release a couple of them on Myspace and put together a new demo to sell at the shows in July/August.

We’re all proper gutted as we all feel that in this short space of time we’ve played some really good shows and have been received so warmly by so many people that it seems such a shame to have to stop this freshly-set-loose beast in its very first steps...

We hope you keep an eye on us, as we will be pushing some bits and pieces (there is talk of doing a mini ‘documentary’ of us in the studio and perhaps some new artwork will be flying around), and bare with us...

In true Manly style, we are looking at this as a positive opportunity, as a blessing in disguise; come July/August we’ll be back with a load of new shit. We’ll give you all a wee taster, a glimpse of what the crack is, but then we’ll be back in the studio August/September and then in October will come the real push...

In the meantime, send money, sexual favours, fashion tips and anything that makes you dizzy...

See you soon!
