Sorry.
Got way too slack on updating this site. I will really try hard now to keep it updated much more regular from now on. Am hoping to get some PHP code on here so I can update the news and gig dates from my work computer cos it ain't always the easiest to find time to update it in my spare time.
Quite a load of stuff going on at the moment. We've just been out on a mini tour with Hi Tech Jet and went to Plymouth, London, Derby and Stoke. Really enjoyed this tour, had a really good laugh and had some great gigs. Special cheers to Darren from the Once Over Twice in Plymouth for letting us stay at his and taking us clubbing and sight seeing by moonlight around Plymouth after the gig. We had a load of fun - cheers dude! If you still haven't managed to see Hi Tech Jet, make sure you do soon cos they are so bloody good. Got our last date of the tour with them in Newport on Saturday, really looking forward to that one.
The split with K-Line is just waiting for Ed Wenn to get back from holiday to record his guitar and vocal parts (we recorded our tracks ages ago!) so things will get moving when that happens. Will let you know as soon as we know anything more definite than that.
We've also been working hard at writing some new stuff and we got probably about ten new tunes so far so things are starting to look very promising for us to start thinking properly about putting out an album. Still want to get a few more tunes in the bag and re-arrange some of what we've got so far before we book some recording time, but we're hoping to get it all together for summer time.
Also, we have a Killerest babyon the way! Big congratulations to Ben and his wife Sarah who are expecting their first child!! We're all dead happy for you mate, well done.
Have got a few more dates coming up, will update the dates page soon when they're all confirmed.
Take care,
Gav

Ok, quick update for ya. Been getting it in the neck on the forums for being a lazy bugger so here you go.....
Gigs are a bit few and far between of late, been trying to get to the studio more to get some new tunes down. The few gigs we have done have been pretty cool, most notably the IATDE alldayer (very drunk) and playing at the Monarch Barfly with Right Turn Clyde and B Movie Heroes. Theres a review on drownedinsound (here) if you'd care to have a look. Will be cranking back up the gigs situation in the new year and are looking to sort another tour for feb/march time. Anyone thats up for putting us on in the new year, please get in touch.
Still waiting on the split with K-Line to come out, this will probably see the light of day in Jan 2004 now (finger crossed) so expect to see a load of gigs happen with them in the new year too.
Ok, thats all for now. Expect the next update in about 6 months time ;-)
Take care,
Gav

Sorry for the lack of news updates. I've recently had all my fingers removed cos they kept getting in the way. Makes it a bit difficult to type though.

AND we're out on tour between 8th & 17th of August, please check dates page to see if we're playing anywhere near you. Start saving your pennies now, cos this tours gonna be a bit special!

After a brief quiet patch to get rehearsing properly again and get some new tunes written, we've gotten all busy and sorted out a shedload of new gigs all over the country! Justing waiting to get confirmation on them all and I'll post them all up on the dates page. Just quickly tho, we'll be playing Cambridge, Cardiff, Brum, London together with a mini tour in Wales and a full tour is being set up for August which will be with The Next Autumn Soundtrack and sponsored by Punktastic. Trying to get even more gigs sorted as well, really want to fill up May, June & July as much as possible so if you are or know a promoter, please get in touch.
Also, and this is well exciting, we're going to release a split e.p. with the very cool K-Line to be released jointly by IATDE and Boss Tuneage. Big thanks to Aston & Mark for making this happen. We'll be heading back to Nottingham at the start of July to record 3 tracks at Pristine studios with Paul Yeadon and Jonny Carter once more. Can't wait! We got a load of new tunes written so its gonna be pretty hard to choose what to record. Hmm........

So here we are, a new update, sorry its been so long, its all gone a bit tits up here, we are all trying to move house, well all of us except ben he already has one -Sid is trying to sort out a house he has bought, gav has moved in with his missis and im trying to rent somewhere new with some people -much hassle- not fun at all! Been a bit quiet on the band front becuase of all this and will be a little quiet for the weeks to come as well.
We have had a couple of gigs recently which were all fun, It feels kind of wierd though becuase we are not rehearsing as much so its just like every once ina while we do a gig -but its good to keep your hand in so to speak!
On Friday we are off to Cardiff to play with the Take at the Oz Bar and then Saturday we are playing with the Take again and the mighty Tiny Elvis in Bath at the Trailer Park Trash B'Day gig so looking forward to that. It would be good to see some faces at those gigs so come down and say hello.
We have also been added to the Crossfire gig in Leicester March 22nd, with Steel Rules Die and K-Line tickets available from Crossfire (look it up on a search engine -I cant remember the address right now) There is a shindig at A skate Park in the day with bands then a gig on the night -we should be be at both and playing the night do. I might even dust off my ol' deck roll around the floor telling kids about the golden days of skating, Hokus Pokus and bringing out random quotes such as "what you doing Jeff?, getting a rat -im hungry" or singing old Sub Society songs and wondering how kids manage to skate on decks so thin!!!
Just been asked to do a gig in Nottingham with Pulley at the Old Angel its on March 25th and should be some fun!
Big thanks to Both Joe Ninety and The Leif Ericsson for the few gigs we did with them over February it was much fun and great to see them both play so often! you can also now check out new releases by both those bands and they are both truly incredible so make sure you get a copy soonish.
We are currently looking at booking a tour with Hitechjet for roughly June/July time -this will hopefully be sorted out over the course of the next month or so so if you want us to play in your area please get in touch and we will see what we can do.
Anyways, keep in touch, thanks for your support its much appreciated.
all the best

Well, this is the last update of 2002 and what a great year its been! 2002 has seen TKE sign to In at the Deep End Records, record and release our debut CD, get some great reviews, go out on our first proper tour, play with some really cool bands and make some really good mates with a load of very cool people! How could we ask for more than that, eh?! Here is the roll-call of people who have been very cool to us and we'd like to sat a BIG thankyou to: Mark IATDE, Paul Yeadon, Jonny Carter, Jim Dailo, all the boys in Sist, My Awesome Compilation, Hi Tech Jet, Jerry Built, all the great IATDE bands, Punktastic.co.uk, Punknews.org, Matt at drownedinsound.com, Mike Haber for the cool photos, Cecelia, all the people that gave us floors to crash on and everyone who has helped us with gigs this year.
Hopefully 2003 will be just as cool. So far we are planning to tour again early 2003 and we will be getting some new songs together hopefully to be released this side of the summer.
Thats just about everything I think, hope you all had a good Christmas, please make sure you have an especially good New Year as well.
Cheers, take care,
TKE - Gav, Damion, Ben & Sid.

Very quick update! Tour went really well and had a cracking time. Some great turnouts at most of the gigs so a big thanks to everyone that came out to see us. Played with a load of truly great bands and met a lot of very cool people. Big thanks also to everyone who sorted us out with floors to crash on. Cheers! Damion wrote a tour diary which I will post as soon as its typed up. Loads and loads of photos too which will be up as soon I get chance, which should be some time after my job as a Xmas tree seller finishes (very soon methinks, its far too cold!) Anyways, all of you take care, spk soon. Gav.
Hello from damion as well, I would also like to thank everyone for the ten most beer soaked days Ive ever had, special cheers to Steve from the Yokel collective for helping us out at such short notice and Dave & Vanessa in Leeds for letting a few of us crash, again at very short notice! I would also like to wager a guinea that gavs new job as an christmas tree seller will end soon as this type of work tends to be a bit seasonal!
We still have a few T shirts left with the roller coaster design off the album, in red, yellow and grey (S, M, L, XL) just email us for what colours we have in left in what sizes and payment info ( its 6 quid) if you want a CD as well (6 quid) you can get both for a tenner -P&P included, or you can get the Cd from www.Assemblylinemusic.com www.Inatthedeependrecords.co.uk or record shops good and bad!
Check Gigs page for December -Feb gigs then we might have a month or two off to try and write another record (to be released on CD) sometime next year.....hopefully.
And well done to Ben the Guitar monkey for drinking five litres of cheap-as-you-like perry in one afternoon - job well done mate.

The Cardiff gig on Friday 29th November has been cancelled!!!!! Bit of a cock up at the venue!But we hope to be down that way in March i think - so sorry! if you had any plans to go.
Instead of Cardiff we will be playing at the Appletree in Worcester with the incredible This Aint Vegas and Meg - many thanks to Steve Fessey who has saved our lives at the last minute. CHEERS!
Being the devious little gits we are it looks like we have wormed our way onto a few gigs on the Leif Ericsson/Joe ninety tour in Jan/Feb next year -this is partly due to the fact they are some of the nicest people you would ever wish to meet - but also something to do with the fact i kidnapped thier girlfriends who are locked up in the cellar -and when the gigs are over, they get them back unharmed - its as simple as that!
T minus 5 days till the tour.............

WE GOT 4 K'S IN KERRANG!!!!!
Just got our first review for the the new CD "Four Days..." and what a relief.....its a good one!! Check Kerrang! out this week and you'll see us get 4K's and a great write up. That nice man and altogether fantastic journalist Mike Griffiths writes "positively crackles with melodic malevolence, and by the time 'Everyday' fades out in a howl of bile and feedback you'll be picking your jaw up off the carpet and reaching for 'Play' again." To see the full review click here or go out and buy/steal a copy of the mag. Loads more reviews expected soon, we'll post them as soon as we get them.
Playing with Down By Law and Travis Cut on Tuesday next week (16th July). Very exciting!! Try and make if you can cos its gonna be ace!

Things going nicely. Playing loads of gigs at the moment which is nice and selling copies of the new CD by the truckload! Haven't even had the thing reviewed yet!! All the promos are going out this week so we should start seeing reviews coming through very soon - keep a lookout in Kerrang, Fracture, Metal Hammer, Drowned in Sound etc. Will post reviews on the site as soon as they happen.
Looking forward to the support with Down by Law on the 16th July in Derby, also just had confirmation of a support with Douglas in August. Douglas are one of the bands we've been dying to play with for ages so it should be wicked. Played a great show with The Icarus Line in Nottingham last weekend, The Old Angel must be the sweatiest little place we've ever played! Check out the photos page for pics from the show cos theres some great ones. Really good to meet up with Jonny and Paul again who recorded our CD for us at Pristine studios.
