>Ashtray Navigations! "Todd's mastery of everything even remotely in tune with psychedelia is here in its spangled, sprawlin' glory though he never shoots even so much as a backwards glance - Ashtray Navigations are pushing on into the 41st century and bucking "revivalism" so hard I got saddle sores" - Outer Space Gamelan

Thank you! Great news.

[jon boy]

taking shambolism on the road.

[Iain]

I'm crossing my fingers for a Cardiff date. If not, I may travel to one of the other dates. Bristol is closer but the London date sounds more interesting.

[jon boy]

why dont you put them one on?

[Iain]

Well, I told my friend Carl about it the other day (he puts gigs on and that) and he was keen to do it. I gave him a gee-up email a couple of minutes ago. He was going to check available dates at a venue today so hopefully he'll arrange something...

[jon boy]

great news. hope that it comes off.

[Smokers Gifts]

It's now confirmed that the London gig will be at Gramophone near Liverpool Street Station, and Ashtray will be playing along side the newly resurrected A Band!! We think this might be the first time the A Band has ever played London, but I might be wrong!
However, we are working on a Cardiff gig also.

Thanks a lot. I'll be there.

[Glice]

I'll weigh in with the general tone of 'huzzah'. Doubly great is that I can actually WALK to go and see a VERY GOOD BAND rather than having to travel to smelly old London.

Which date?

[jon boy]

any i supoose.

[Smokers Gifts]

Right, it looks like Friday 17th is Eastbourne now then. Bristol has kind of fallen through, but we're working to get it back on.

A Newcastle gig is also loking likely, maybe with Culver.

Oh, and Ashtray Navigations' new album of Nirvana covers will be released soon through Starbucks. Kidding!

[Iain]

Are you looking for gigs between the London and Manchester shows?

[jon boy]

what! and i got all worked up for that one as well.

No, because Mr Todd is back at work then. just dates between 6th and 20th August(that aren't full already).

[Iain]
