Things

There's a new out-of-sync camera video of us doing 'Cameron Youth' (the single?) up on youtube, posted by some mysterious stranger who brings Athens Polytechnic to the children of the world and asks nothing in return. CHECK-IT-OUT-HERE-WHY-DON'T-YOU?

Also, here are some links to bands we played with the other night and some crazy mixed bill show who actually turned out to be really good. Merely select your preference, ecstasy pills or a night fiddling about with electronics in the shed, and enjoy. Unless of course you don't trust us.

Holiday Plans 2010

Yeah! The recording is done, ten tunes (including a Kraftwerk cover) of some seriously non-heinous punk rock and roll will be on its way to you as soon as Ski emerges from the spliff bunker with the masters (we left the last lot in a taxi somewhere in Greenwich Villiage).

We're also taking a little hiatus now to allow everyone a well deserved holiday. Ben is off to Devon as he's a firm believer in putting his money back into the economy at times like these. Tommy has a wedding to attend at one of Silvio Berlusconi's Villas in Tuscany and hopes to fit in a little cycling if he can. Zak is going back to Chester to try and make his peace with his estranged childhood sweetheart before the alcoholism finally shuts down her internal organs one by one. I am planning a little sojourn in rural Limosin, as true AP fans will know the French countryside is my biggest inspiration as a lyricist. And while I'm not sure of the exact dates I think Crocks is planning a bit of sex tourism in a failed west African state.

Until the next time a popular band pulls out at the last minute, adios!

tape name updates:

13 Pint Programme to Destroy America, Taste of Lewisham, Athens Polytechnic 4 - Wall St. 0, Momma Said No Hippy Shit, Flawed but Fabulous, Raoul Moat, Repeater (ad nauseam), A Retrospective, The Dance of Life, ALways Outnumbered Never Outfoxed...

if you like us, you wont after you hear this...

This may seem like a bullshit plug for our gig with them* (and maybe it is) but you well-bad-need to check The Electric Red Drive. They're playing a bunch of shows all over our fair city flogging their new EP and judging from the track (click the link) it's gonna be a belter.

*AP will be humbling supporting The Electric Red Drive at the Kings Cross Social Club on Saturday July 17th.
