Band news Well, a belated Happy New Year to one and all from the command bunker.
Recent attempts have been made at rehearsals to record the raw, live sound of the LCs so as to at least produce the dodgiest of demo CDs. Only Ken knows how well or badly this is going.
Neil still gadding about so not much has been happening. Jon joining the list of people to blame for cancelled rehearsals. Neil no longer feels quite as lonely.

Band news Played last gig of the year at the Flapper & Firkin pub in Birmingham. Longest set we have played in a good while. Live debut of two new Love Commandos tracks which will become a staple fo the live set. More information on the gigs page.
Attempts to record the gig may not have been as fruitful as we hoped for.
Things becoming quieter over the forthcoming Christmas period mainly due to Neil gadding about.

Band news Happy Birthday to our website. It has now been live for over one year.
Brand new gig information. Love Commandos plus special guests Cage to appear at the Flapper & Firkin in Birmingham on Tuesday 20th November 2001. This will probably be our last gig of 2001 so we would like to see as many people there as possible. We will hopefully be playing a lot of new material. We will also be recording the evening for possible live CD release so this is your chance to make yourself heard.
Mr. Jones and American Girl have been relegated from the potential set lists as we feel that, although they are both great songs, they no longer fit into our set.

Band news Firstly, good luck to Mr. Hubble and his wife-to-be as they are tying the knot in the near future. We told him that the band comes first but he chose (sensibly) to ignore us so we are on a two week hiatus.
Practice continues for the upcoming final gig of the year extravaganza. Sadly, Cage are unable to play that night so we are currently in negotations for another support act. Watch this space. Make sure that you are at the Flapper & Firkin in Birmingham on Tuesday 20th November 2001. I can guarantee that there will be at least two brand spanking new previously unheard original tracks played.
Yet another new song in the embryonic stages tentatively titled ‘She Said’. How do we find the time?
