We woke up pretty early today as our mate we were staying with had to go to work for at 11:30am. We all got our shit together and went for some breakfast in sunny Bristol to kill some time before heading to Cardiff. Good food, good weather, good city and generally a good morning.

We hit Cardiff about 4.00pm and loaded our gear in before wandering off for a bit of shoe shopping, ice creams and a lot of looking at things we couldn't afford. Later, we headed back for sound check and some booze. Pretty chilled afternoon really for us, meanwhile the Throats guys had to go to the dentist to get Mark's tooth taken out. Tour toothache = the worst thing ever.

Show tonight was pretty cool with good sound again. We all mixed up after the show as half of us wanted to go out partying and half were wanting to crash out/be dirty stoners. Big props to the guys in Shaped By Fate for putting us all up for the night!

The half that went out headed for the Live Lounge to party. It was essentially a sleazy pop club parading as a bar. Our Si claims he saw things he will never unsee and Tom Throats was thrown out for being a better dancer than all the students and local chavs. Lee Shaped By Fate is a party beast and the night came to a close dancing to The Smiths, Blur and 'WAITING FOR A STAR TO FALL!' Good times.

Keeping us going in the van music wise today has been The Helm, Coliseum and The Maccabees. Only a short drive today lucky for us. High Wycombe tomorrow!
