Happy New Year to one
and all...welcome to 2007 and the latest in 'Yob updates.
First off; here's a
couple of bits of feedback from gigs we did towards the end
of last year...
We had a bleedin' marvellous
time in Germany at Menfis pub in Neustadt. Our grateful thanks
to Sindy and Bigge for their hospitality. It was a great night
with a quality mix of bands on the bill. We've never had a bad
night playing in Germany and this was no exception. Quick photo
for you from after the show with our host taking centre stage.
---------------------------------------------------
We also had a crackin'
time at our gig in Valencia in Spain shortly before Christmas.
A massive thank you to Pablo and his crew for their excellent
hospitality - for driving us about, putting us up and introducing
us to the Spanish way of life.....booze til very late, stay
in bed til late and then get up and eat and drink all afternoon
til it's time to go on the slosh again...marvellous.
Here's the flyer for
the gig....
As the flyer says,
Frankie did a one man show as well on the old joanna....it's
a rare old sight to see a room full of skins doing the conga
round the place I tell you. The other band on the bill was Pablo's
band The
Glory Boys, who put on a great show seeing as it was only
their 5th gig together. It was good to see some of our friends
over from Blighty too - Ian, Alison and Lee made the trip and
2 out of the three of them managed to keep their trousers on.
Here are some photos

Would
you let this man put out an Oi! Comp CD?

The other gig we managed
to sneak in just before Christmas was down the Bear and Ragged
Staff in Crayford. Another good night with a top turn out....thanks
for all of those who came down in support. Couple of pics; again
courtesy of Alison.
Dunno who were dodgier
looking....the band or the crowd!!!!!
---------------------------------------------------
As first mentioned
in the last update we've got our latest recording sorted out....the
song 'Sweet FA' - our modern day rant against money destroying
the once beautiful game of football - has been mixed and mastered
and is currently winging it's way out to discerning ears in
the media in promo format. We've set up a MySpace account so
that you can hear what we've done - the first new Superyob recorded
material in 4 years.
Go to http://www.myspace.com/superyobsweetfa
for your listen.
Feedback has been good,
but please feel free to drop us a line here at Yob Towers to
let us know what you think. If anyone is involved in the sporting
media and thinks there may be an avenue for widening the listening
circle of the song - again, please drop us a line.
---------------------------------------------------
Other news on the recording
front, the new British Oi! Comp being put out by the trouserless
gentleman pictured above is close to completion- he tells us
he's not far off now and is only waiting on tracks to wing their
way in from 2 more bands. More news as I get it...sounds a very
exciting prospect for the scene in the UK. Some of the bands
involved will probably surprise you.....look out for our track
'Rough Justice'.
------------------------------------------------
We've marked our own
cards for a band meeting to discuss programming in the long
overdue recording sessions for the new Yob album. The Bank of
Frank has announced there is enough funds in the kitty to commence
proceedings...all we need to do is sit down and thrash out when
we can get the demos practiced up to scratch and plan the logistics
of it. Not as easy as you'd think with Frank's work commitments,
Stodge's satanic child and the availability of the studio and
engineer to negotiate around. We'll keep you posted.
------------------------------------------------
We have a pairof gigs
in the offing. First one is supporting the mighty COCKNEY
REJECTS at The
Concord 2 in Brighton on Saturday February 10th. Other band
on the bill is the EAST
END BAD'OES. Gig finishes at 10pm, so if anyone is planning
to travel down from London there's ample time to get trains
back. Ace is unavailable for this gig so we will be unveiling
our new temporary drummer for the show - none other than Street
Punk legend Mickey Drummer of The Business fame. Mick is a neighbour
of Haystacks and has been doing sod all on the drummer front
since withdrawing from Business duties 3 years ago. Always looking
for a new project after he'd had a few beers in the pub, he
finally got the call up. We've got a busy bout of practices
lined up.
Mickey will also be
playing at a show we have lined up in Milan in Italy for Saturday
17th February. There's a local mob there who've formed Pull
The Trigger Records keen to put on bands from all around Europe
- they've obviously started with their sights a bit low as they're
entertaining On File this weekend Jan 6th, but things are sure
to look up. Support is from Italian band Prima Linea - check
'em out here.
------------------------------------------------
Not a lot else happenning
on the gig front at the moment as we have to prioritise new
recordings. We're waiting to hear from Sheffield Dave about
a jaunt up to Yorkshire for later in the year and as soon as
we know when we might combine it with a few other shows.....perhaps
taking another trip up to Scotland. Once we've got the logistics
of the recording and stuff sorted we'll build some gigs in around
it.....honest!!!
------------------------------------------------
As you are all no doubt
aware, we still have our most recent single doin' the rounds.
Jump to the MERCHANDISE
page for details of where you can still get it along with other
Yob odds and sods. Please note that all 3 CDs are now sold out.
We do not have any more and there will be no re-pressings. If
you've got one, I spose you'd better hang onto it cos it'll
be worth a fortune one day. If you're after a copy of Ghetto
Blaster, please drop us a line as we are aare of a few floating
about the world somewhere....you never know your luck.
We now have the new
T-Shirt design in all sizes too.

matter please click on this here photo of us at Niagara Falls
to peruse through Frankie's Tour Diary of our 2004 jaunt to
the US of A.
THE
CONCRETE GODS
|
By way of a quick mention, Haystacks
and Ace have a new band on the go called The Concrete
Gods. Also featuring Stodge on bass, they now have their
debut album 'Anglo-Centric Generation' available and will
be soon gigging at a town near you. Check out the latest
news HERE.
