We'd love to come up to Bonnie Scotland again. There's just one problem and that's arranging several dates that would take us up to Scotland and back to London without losing the very little money we have ! Hoping to get shows in North Yorkshire and maybe Durham/Newcastle and then we can attack Sottish promoters for shows... hope you understand, it takes a lot of organising & contracts etc. Vice Squad x

What's the craziest thing that happens in your hometown?

2011-07-13T13:53:00.001-07:00

Absolutely everything goes here in London - there is nothing that goes on here regarded as crazy.. it is seen as the norm !!!
Being mad-crazy PunkRockers that suits us just fine........

Ask me anything

Do you believe in fate?

2011-07-11T15:11:00.001-07:00

No.. I think it is easy to look back and say, a person was destined to do something or was unlucky etc. I believe that privilege and wealth - family background, schooling etc have a far greater impact on a persons fate than something mystical !!!

Ask me anything

What do you think would happen if apes took over? #apeswillrise

Nick you'll have to remind me before we go on as I tend to forget! Bring a piece of paper with 'Happy Birthday Barbara' and wave it at me, it's the 14th song (after 'Ordinary decent'). Wish her Happy Returns (to the bar!) from me.

any Chance you could play the Fleece in Bristol?

2011-06-08T08:17:00.001-07:00

We'll play Bristol when we're successful! I'd like to involve the original rhythm section, Mark and Shane,in some way and play somewhere bigger (like the Col'snaw if it's still open) so it's a memorable homecoming and also a proper tribute to Dave Bateman.

Monday June 29th - A long, arduous drive to Salt Lake City was relieved by coming up with our 'Vegas" names. At a New Jersey hotel in 2001 the receptionist misread Lumpy's details on his passport and called him 'Rodney London', which the rest of us found highly amusing. This tour we decided that everyone has to have a Vegas name so Nick now goes under the moniker of Lionel Smooth, Wayne is Ronnie Leather, Big Mike is Larry 'El Grande' Dwight, Beki is Tina Maccaroni and German is Engelbert 'The Ram' Ramirez. We are collectively known as 'The Twat Pack'. We've also given LCB Vegas names: Deke Saturn, Long John 'The Blond' Jeblonski, Dean Marty and Dicky De Vere. Brats merch man is not dubbed Dwaine 'the dollar' L'amour... Ah well, little things please little minds!!!

We had a great show at Salt Lake City, the Monday night crowd were brilliant, and made it worth the long hors stuck in the van.

After the show we drove till 5am then checked in to a hotel and tried to get some much needed kip.

Vice squad tour update 3

2009-07-02T18:41:00.001-07:00

Life on the road can be for the most part boring and very tiring. Aside from listening to music and trying to raise spirits the band and crew tell jokes and come up with weird and strange stuff - like inventing imaginary things to buy from truck stops when re fueling etc. Examples are Elvis beef jerky Sandals, Musical Nazi commemorative dinner service, and See thru Umbrella bottle opener combo.....yep...driving 6-8 hours a day drives you crazy.

Friday 26th June - we were totally spaced out as the hotel in Portland seemed to cater for 24 hour noise and party merchants which is not ideal when you need to catch up on sleep.We did not sleep till around 9am and then the hotel piped dance music at full blast thru the balcony speakers...not nice !!! Don't get me wrong we can party with the best of 'em but we hung out with fans / strangers till 4 am after a storming 100 degree sell-out show at Satyricon so we can't be accused of being 'lightweight'. We made it to the Veggie Chinese which was amazing and even the meat eaters loved the food and could not believe how realistic mock chicken, beef and prawns were. Stayed in a posh hotel 2 mins from El Corazon in Seattle. The gig was very respectable, great crowd and a success. We found English Cider and wow...that was it.. everyone partying till early hours again. We had some snotty looks from the hotel receptionists and guests when we checked out next day all looking like the punk bastard living dead. Headed out to Spokane for saturday gig, only just managed to get rooms as there was 'Hoop Fest' taking place where hundreds of basketball teams come from all over the world to compete on the streets of Spokane for competition prizes etc. Small show at the Cretin Hop but what a fantastic show. TC and the guys made us very welcome and comfortable. the fans were top. Only problem was not being able to get beer as we needed passport i.d. No worries a convoy of band and fan vehicles went back to TC and wifes house for another drink fest. We got in about 5am !

Vice squad tour update 2

2009-06-25T20:56:00.000-07:00

Now thursday and we are currently heading into Portland - looking forward to playing tonight. Been to the Satyricon and we have been here twice before. Also in Portland is the best Chinese restaurant we have ever been to. It is a dedicated Vegetarian chinese where the food is shaped and textured like various meats and fish. Hopefully we will have time to swing by before we leave for Seattle tomorrow.

Previous two shows were in San Francisco on Sunday and we had a good amount of people come out despite them having a weekend of punk shows in the area. Thee Parkside is a smaller gig but is much fun and the crowd lapped it up. Next day was Sparks / Reno area and the turn out was fantastic it was really full and a Monday night too. The Brats ripped it up as usual and we kicked it big time. Had a party back at the hotel / casino in Reno. Vice Squad and LC Brats hanging out till 5.30 am, we sunk some beers alongside the guys and our tour manager Big Mike and driver / tech German, who are both totally awesome guys.

Tuesday day off so we hung out some more and hit Reno and the excellent Hideout Club till late. Weds journey took us to Medford to play our first ever record store gig. What a fantastic show too - the kids were amazing - we had over 100 sweaty and crazy fans rocking out in probably the hottest show so far...... some kids hitched from 100+ miles away and to them and all the other Medford Punk Pirate Crew - we salute you.

Tour update from Vice Squad

2009-06-21T10:47:00.000-07:00

Well, today we are heading off for our 3rd gig on Vice Squad's US West Coast jaunt. Santa Barbara is nothing short of heaven, shame we have to head off first thing to San Francisco but hey..that's life on the road. We have a great road manager in 'Big Mike' and wonderful crew guy 'German' who looks like a young Robert Trujillo. Nick Savin is our drummer out here and I can't put into words how nice, down-to-earth and talented this guy is. There is definitely a difference in how US drummers play to UK ones they all have certain quirks which is great for us to experience. It is gonna be hard finding a trunk big enough to fit him in when trying to ship him back to the UK...ha ha...

I hope to post some photos and video soon, please subscribe to our blog.

We've been continuously writing and recording in the last few months and as well as finishing a brand new album we've also written a load more songs for an EP. If we go ahead with the EP idea this will be a VERY limited edition,the CDs will be burnt and hand-numbered ourselves........we intend to take D.I.Y to it's logical conclusion!!! These EPs, tentatively entitled 'Advance Britannia' are sure to become collectors' items so watch this space for more info.

The U.S tour is now confirmed. Thanks for all the offers from venues and other bands, we really appreciate your interest and support and have passed your details onto our U.S agent.
