SATURDAY!







































We're starting to get pretty excited about D.I.Y D A Y now.  As detailed on  the beautiful poster and in a previous post  PLEASE , GOLDEN GRRRLS , PRIZE PETS ,HUMAN HAIR & MAZES all play LIVE. 'The Shield Around the K: the story of K records'  gets its first Manchester airing and GOOD GRIEF!  will be selling their wares. Furthermore the Salford Zine Library comes out of cold storage for an afternoon. So whether you're a browser or a buyer we've got your back. As far as the BBQ goes- we've heard there're gonna be some to-die-for Halloumi-skewers as well as the usual meaty suspects (sorry morrissey). 


Here're some videos of the bands:

Adios 'GREETINGS', Hello 'SEASONED

Okaaaaay so 'GREETINGS' the 13-song debut long-playing cassette by FORMER BULLIES is now completely sold out! Fear not though as the excellent SUFFERING JUKEBOX have cherry-picked 3 of its ill-est jams for their second 7" (hot on the heels of one by MAZES). AND but furthermore FORMER BULLIES are back with the perfectly-titled 'SEASONED' comprising the 10 best songs written* and recorded in an Edgeley cellar probably ever*. I don't imagine this one will hang around for long either so you'd better order it here. The cover is again  beautifully  screen-printed by Lucy Jones. 






































Also before summer's out there Former Bullies will have another slab of vinyl out in the form of a split 7" 45 rpm with WAITERS. And on top of full time jobs and being in other gnarly bands. Who said slackers? 

*1- We cannot fully guarantee that they were written in the cellar.
*2- If there're better we wanna here them.
