IT'S HERE

Posted: Tuesday 9 November 2010 | Posted by SON OF A BITCH : the athens polytechnic blog |

It's finally here. The papers wanted to stop it, the punk rock establishment wanted to stop it, the bands whose tunes we ripped off wanted to stop it, hell, most of our parents wanted to stop it but in the words of one more eloquent than us 'the lady is not for turning'. We would not be stopped.


Thanks to the herculean efforts of Ski and Jake at Lost London and the boys and girls at Paragon Management Incorporated 300 brand new copies of 'Selling Out Fast' are being smuggled over the border marked as UHT milk as we speak, and you can get yours from Friday (BUY)HERE(BUY) or (BUY)here(BUY). However, If you're one of those who favours next second delivery why not go to Rough Trade East/West, stand in front of the record and talk really loudly about how awesome it is for a few minutes before you make your purchase, we'd really appreciate it.

This little vinyl biscuit contains such fan favourites as LAST GOOD CITIZEN, WHERE DID ALL THE YOUNG MEN GO?, AND I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH IT AS WELL IF IT WASN'T FOR THOSE MEDDLIN' BOOKS, OTHER SHOES and THE KIDS WILL NOT HAVE THEIR SAY, not to mention featuring the full original line-up of CATHOLIC - VOCALS, AMERICAN - VOCALS, JEW - GUITAR, ARAB - BASS, PROTESTANT - DRUMS. Don't miss out, we're strictly limited to 300 copies and we're sure to split up soon.

Talking of splitting up, we're playing a few shows soonish (they always tend to hasten the inevitable) including Grrrnd Zero in Lyon on the 16th, possibly a secret venue in Lewisham on the 18th (watch this space) maybe a record release gig/art show/buffet at Goldsmiths College (if we can be arsed to organise it), perchance the Victoria in Hackney on the 9th of December with some cool garage bands (if they guy gets back to us) and definitely THE HARD SKIN CHRISTMAS SHOW AT THE GROSVENOR IN STOCKWELL ON THE 17TH!

Wrap up warm x
