Hello... thanks to everyone who made it along to see us at the
Islington Academy last week!

We're taking a short break from playing live while we work on new
recordings, but if by chance you happen to be in the mood for some
very un-Ex-Rental old-school indie rock this Saturday (15th May),
you can catch Sean DJ-ing at a one-off event called "Planet Of
Sound".

It's a night devoted to independent rock music from 1987 to 1992 -
the time the Pixies were originally active, to celebrate their
recent reformation. The other DJs are Rory Phillips (Trash, And Did
We Mention Our Disco?), Valerie Gayrimond (The Fan Club, The Dark
Stuff) and Nick Nyro (Dot Dash, Upside Down), and it's at Asylum, 1a
Percy Street, London W1 from 8pm to 2am.

For further details and directions to the venue, see
http://thefanclub.info/planetofsound/index.htm ... expect the likes
of My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth, Pixies, Sebadoh, Nirvana and a
complete absence of electronic pop...!

Sean's also DJ-ing at another one-off club night on May 29th, which
will be much more Ex-Rental-like... DJs will again include Valerie
and Nick, plus former Visage musician/Blitz DJ Rusty Egan. More
details nearer the time...

Finally, for a few days only, you can download an excerpt of Sean's
original rough demo of "Don't You Want Me", which was later
performed live at The Fan Club's Human League DVD party back in
October. The demo was never meant for public exposure (hence the
slightly lazy vocals!), but it's just been put online temporarily
for the benefit of a certain group of Human League fans, so if you
want to hear a downbeat piano-led interpretation of the song, it's
here for a short while:

See you soon,
