Gigs galore

So ladies and gents the month of January has ended on a high. The gig went as well as we could have wished and has resulted in a rebooking with the promoters for another venue. The gulls come away from their morale-boosting performance excited for the next few gigs lined up. These can be found on our facebook group page for any of those who wish to join the flock (https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Seagulls/214694068609787?sk=app_178091127385). Apart from their recent gig, the gulls do not have much to report. Over the weekend a visit by two of the flock's bottom bitches, Claire and Rebecca, meant that the kitchen and living room were cleaned and the gull's nest became even more welcoming than before. One small blemish was their terrible taste in music - to quote one particularly horrid song played, 'I'm sexy and you know it... I work out.'

This week the gulls are all slaving away at our various professions while trying to fit some song-writing and band practice in between. Furthermore, seagull p has come to the conclusion that some Royal Mail staff are depressingly incompetent and we should return to pigeon carriers.... or even better, we should turn to seagull carriers, to carry the letters of love and life to their intended recipients.

To end on a tastey quote from a poet Seagull P is particularly fond of at the moment:

'When we find ourselves wanting everything it is because we are dangerously close to wanting nothing'

- Sylvia Plath

adios amigoes, seagull p xx

Look to the sky... Friday 27th January is looming

Gulls and gullettes, it is now just five days until the Seagulls first gig in 2012 is upon us! The setlist is finalised with seven originals and one cover (you may have been lucky enough to have seen a sensual and sexual performance of this in the nest's bath) 30minute set, but of course you will have to wait till the big day to see what songs and in what whimsical order they are performed. Practices are steadily improving, and the gulls are happy to announce the arrival of Alec on drums who has added steady and soothing backbeats to the luscious lullabyes just in time for the onslaught of Seagull flights around London.

In other news the gulls have trashed and tidied their flat several times, the worst case being a post Big Red food fight that got seriously out of hand; visited Proud in Camden for a casual few beverages before the departure of Ali, an old chum who has set off to travel the world; annoyed numerous people at Emer's (Paddy's twin sisters) house party; and still been working due to the bloody 'man'.

Keep your eyes and dreams high, and hopefully see many a friendly face this Friday, 8pm sharp at Club Surya near Kings Cross Station....

2012: The Year of the Seagull.. Gig-ity

A new year is upon us and the Seagulls have been flying around causing havoc in London Town. P and D had an adventure down Camden on Saturday night spying out new spots for the birds to squawk; Fox has been slowly coming out of hibernation, whilst Philip has been entering his own very late, emerging from his cave only for the odd shift, food or toilet trip.
The cd has been banded around virally and the gigs are starting to roll in with two now booked in for Feb and two more in March, prestigious venues and all... details to be put up on the bandpage very soon.
Saturday night started out as a quiet drink in the swanky suburbs of Camden but the bright lights beckoned and a pub crawl ensued. World's End, Lock 17, the Dublin Castle and Camden Eye were all frequented, one of which is the location for one of the upcoming Feb gigs, but we will keep you guessing and build the anticipation.
Some erupted onto the cards too as Camden Eye had an excellent 3 piece band playing who performed a fantastic cover of 'Where is my mind' by the Pixies. Ideas were planted in the gulls brains as an acoustic drum piece known as a cajon was being used to great effect and with the return of Chris and the looming acoustic sets this addition could be a very fruitful one.

Keep this in your mind, and we look forward to seeing your excited(?) faces at the upcoming gigs.. peace out flock xxx
