A big thank you to our fans!

Thanks to all our fans that came out to support the Love Commandos gig at Subside Bar last night. We had a great time and although we were the only band playing there was a reasonable audience in attendance. We even managed to entice a few passing strangers into the bar with our cover of “I’m Not OK” which just shows what a draw My Chemical Romance songs are.
Thanks to Subside for giving us the opportunity to play and hopefully we’ll be back again in the future.

UK last in Eurovision, again.

Yet again the UK came last in the Eurovision song contest. This time around the song was from the stable of Pete Waterman and Michael Stock and no doubt was considered a sure fire hit by the UK selection committee. Sadly, though well performed, it sounded typically Stock, Aitken and Waterman and the rest of Europe seemed to agree. We humbly submit that the Love Commandos could produce a suitably interesting tune for next year’s Eurovision and would love to have the chance to submit one.
Interestingly Ireland fared little better finishing only two places above the UK. One wonders how much better they could have done had they chosen the Ronan Keating penned track performed by Justin Lee Collins. If there is any justice he’ll be performing for the UK next year – assuming of course that the Love Commandos aren’t successful!

Three days until LC’s gig

There are only three days to go before the Love Commandos play subside on Monday evening (31st May). The band have a final rehearsal later today to put a final polish on our set. We hope that you show up to show your support of the band and enjoy an evening of loud rock music – hey, it’s a bank holiday Monday, what else would you be doing that’s as much fun?

Take a risk. Go Commandos!
