NEW WEBSITE, NEW CD!!!!

the more observent amongst you may well have noticed the new site. its pretty much there, a few bits need to be sorted but here it is. let us know what you think. our first few gigs of the year went really well and we have some really exciting shows coming up so keep checking the shows page. the new cd is done and will be sold at our upcoming shows and can be ordered via the site, give us an e-mail and we'll see what we can do. its gunna be about £2.50, a lot cheaper because we pretty much recorded it all at home, we're really proud of it and feel it captures us a lot better than the last one, tracks featured are, 'bring me down', 'kind of day', 'feather duster' and a live version of 'janders'.the old one is still available, just e-mail us about it, we're selling the two cds together for a special price of £5! in other news we're in talks about trying to sort out a mini tour, playing shows and supporting bands down south in easter, so keep em peeled. hope to see you all soon, its been too long, peat xx

Shamone mutha fucka. wassup whi choo foo? The Peat would like to take this opportunity to wish each and everyone of you lovely people a very merry christmas. Merry Christmas. Our last show of 2002, will round off a skavoovey year for the band and will be held on sunday the 22nd at Edwards No.8 in B'ham, supporting the almighty Captain Everything. It's gunna be an Xmas Xtravaganza, so be there early to catch all the bands. The 'meet the band' section has been updated to include a very special band member who, in just a short period of time has become very dear to our hearts, as we nearly lost him a few weeks ago- he was sick in a saucepan. its good to have you back man. New photos, new site, new songs all coming in 2003. See you all on sunday, have a great christmas and have one for us, Peat

21/11/02

hey all. its been a busy month, well for us anyway, but it has all been worth it. we've played with some amazing bands like Farse, Adequate 7 and the incredible Fishbone. We are now taking a few weeks out from playing to really concentrate on getting some new material written and finishing off our CD. All being well we should have some rude new songs in our set for the next time we play. Keep checkin the gig page for shows, so far we are playing with 4ft fingers on 7th Dec and Lubby Nugget on the 18th Dec. We are working on a new website aswell, exciting times people, exciting times. Hope to see you all soon, peat.

11/11/02

OK people. Here is the flyer for the FISHBONE show. If you are going next week please click on the link below, pint out the flyer and hand it in on the door. We get credit for those that are handed in. Much appreciated.

FISHBONE FLYER

02/11/02

This is a plea on behalf of Peat Bog Man. Firstly if you want to go to the FARSE show next week please email us and we can sort you out with tickets. They are five pounds each. By buying through us you can avoid the booking fees that Midland Box Office may charge you.

Email us for your FARSE tickets

Secondly, if you want to go to the FISHBONE show the week after please check back to the site because we are going to upload the flyer for the gig. For every flyer handed in on the door we get some money (which unfortunately we need to pay our debts - boo.) So please check back and download the flyer when we post it. Cheers people.

22/10/02

Well its taken us 9 months but as said, back in our second ever posting, we have finally blagged not one, oh no, but two support slots with local heroes Farse. Not only that, oh dear God no, but we are finally playing at proper show at the Rock Cafe and not a Jam night. Wu hooo! Tickets for the Farse show in Wolverhampton and the Fishbone show in Birmingham are availiable from such sites as Ticketweb.co.uk and aloud.com. Yes that is Fishbone. The very same californian ska/funk rude dudes who toured with the Chili Peppers and featured on the Mother's Milk album (RHCP) and Hang-Ups (Goldfinger.)

20/09/02

The gig with Five Knuckle went really well and there's more to come. We are finalising arrangements for our next CD and adding several new songs to our set for the Adequate 7 gig. Don't miss it!!

 

08/10/02

Wow! A lot has happened in the last month. We have a stack of new gigs, we are practicing with a new band member and we are making preparations for our next CD. This will include some of our more recent songs and some that we have not played live yet. It looks like the CD will be done by mid November provided all goes well. Our mp3.com account is now up and running and so you can download some of our tunes for a limited period of time only. www.mp3.com/peatbogman. Peace and love.

 

08/08/02

In two days time we play our first headlining show at Scruffy Murphy's in Birmingham. This gig is listed in this weeks issue of Kerrang magazine and this weeks issue of NME magazine. Nuff said.

20/07/02

Booay. will bog man, the one true webmaster is back. Ive taken off the new mp3s so apologies to any that get the chance to check em out but you were'nt missing much. As soon as we can though we get some decent versions of the new stuff up. Or alternatively you could come and see us live and see them first hand. We have quite a few gigs comin up in Worcester and Birmingham so keep checkin the gigs page. All that is left is for me to wish a good holiday to the many bog men that are off on their hols. To Ian, George and Tom, bon voyage! and check out the next few issues of big cheese magazine where will bog man is guest contributor, with an interview with the Reel Big Fish, and our demo is to be reviewed in there. Things definitely ain't lookin down brothers and sisters of the bog! laters!

14/07/02

Greetings all. There are three more mp3 files for you to download. They are live tracks and are of a similar quality to the old ones. The songs are brand new and are intended to give you a taster of what's to come. In a bit.

5/07/02

Well. We played on the radio. It ruled. We were interviewed. That ruled (big chas n dave to Totney Nation.) We played Edwards No. 8 (which ruled), sold a shit load of CDs and got two more offers for gigs straight after (more info coming shortly.) So all in all not bad at all.

14/05/02

We have decided to put our live demo cd up online for all of you to download. The first two tracks are uploaded now. The rest will be done at a later date. They are much higher quality than our previous recording attempts so download them and tell us what you think.

Just a note people. Geocities is doing maintenance on its server and the site will be down from friday 17th to sunday 19th. Sorry, this is out of our control.

11/05/02

Where do we start? We played the robin 2 and it sucked. We recorded a live CD which ruled. We sent off many many demos (and are starting to reap the benefits.) And we are recording at a local studio in but a few weeks! Our demos are on sale (if interested contact us) although we recommend holding out for our EP which will be much much better. The last piece of good news is that we have been booked to support Codlocker at Edward's No 8 in Birmingham. We are negotiating several other gigs so watch this space.

Bo Selecta me name is Peat Bog Man. How be all you? we hopefully are going to play at the rock cafe in stourbridge soon perhaps in the next couple of weeks, so reader beware your in for a skank! Watch this space for dates. Well not this exact space, the gigs page is probably your best bet. We're gunna add some pictures an stuff to the site to make it sweeter than it already is. Is that possible I hear you cry, well my friends, yes it is. Our collection of songs is now almost as big as will and tiger's hair put together as if we were creating some sort of hair fiend to unleash on the streets of stourbridge. Yes we now have 7 songs. Hooray for us!

01/02/02

First of all a BIG Chas and Dave to everyone who came out to support the Peat on Tuesday. Muchos Chasos y Davos. The gig ROCKED!! Secondly, very exciting news came in the way of an e-mail to Ian Bog Man straight from Gainsville's very own The Busdrivers saying they are hopefully coming to the UK to tour and would like the Peat to support them. WOW!

Keep checking the site for news as we hope to start doin a few shows a bit further afield. And we are going to try to record some stuff, for your ears only!

P.S if you visit the site please leave a message on the Guest Bog just so we know who is interested, in years to come you could say you were there when it all started. Back in the day. Those were the days, ahh i remember them well, sitting on the porch with a glass of port with my old chum Jeeves, talking of many things such as the state of monarchy, nuclear disarmament and if tupac is actually dead. yes those were the days. Erm sorry, in my own little world there, anyway that would be much appreciated.

09/01/02
