I just realised I only wrote one entry in April, and have written nothing so far this month. That is not because we have been doing nothing, but simply that I have been too lazy to write anything. Still, I don't want to fall into the all too familiar blog habit of gradually tailing off and then not writing anything ever again.

We have been busy trying to shift our album (buy it now, we have 1 or 2 left!) and also recording new bits and bobs for various projects in the future (more about them when/if they appear). Mutt still mutters about live stuff, although his suggestion last week that we should get a "Pretty Girlie Singer" and go all acoustic was not meant with total enthusiasm by myself. Given that I sing and provide electronic noises, it was never really going to be a vote winner with me, although some cruel and misguided people may describe me as pretty and girlie, I don't really fit the bill. I also object to sounding largely different live than on record, as that is just wrong to my mind. I don't see many live bands, but the ones who ditch all the electronics and get loads of session musicians in really annoy me. Us turning into a female fronted folk band live would be quite ridiculous.

We continue to get some good press (online at least), with Mike Smith at Take Your Medicine continuing to support us steadfastly. We also have an interview (in Italian) on IndiePop.it which made sense in the original English, and probably does in Italian but comes out suitably mangled once Babel Fish has finished with it. A case in point:

"Your approach to music does not reveal your age: if she had not been for some passage that reveals one great acquaintance of the matter Indian, sembereste one band of teenagers. How succeeded to conserve this freschezza in yours sound?

N: Thanks. We maintain to young people thanks to music. In every other aspect of our screw we behave ourselves like ultrasessantenni.
S: Not to have a traditional strutura (that is guitar, bottom, battery) help very."

So basically we screw like we're over 60 (but stick with "young people") and don't use traditional structures involving Guitars, Bottoms and Batteries. I thought this was meant to be a musical interview.

Fortunately, there is a proper English version available here , which proves that we're not really (that) depraved.
