The Subways

Adventure Belgium/Holland!

Sun, 09 Nov 2008 12:00:00 GMT

This was the second time we'd played Botanique in Brussels. The first time was a few years ago and it was a standout show of the tour. This year we played Pukkelpop and it was also very special for us, so today's show had a lot to live up to! Someone after the show asked me whether I was really actually having a great time onstage and asked if I meant it when I said that the audience was being absolutely brilliant � a bit of a stupid question to ask, and not one that implies a huge amount of trust in what I say when I'm onstage � but believe me, this audience was AMAZING. Considering the reaction from the crowd and the fact that I didn't have to sing a word for the intro of "I Want To Hear What You Have Got To Say" speaks for itself! Was I enjoying myself�What a silly question!!

Arriving in Amsterdam was rather exciting! Amsterdam is always a fun place to play! The show was rather LOUD, though only just slightly less loud than Brussels � but still VERY LOUD and crazy! I arrived in the dressing room after the show to see that the whole crew had adorned the walls with birthday decorations for my birthday (which was technically the next day, but hey, we're in Amsterdam!). I was given some fantastic presents, a birthday cake and a few lager shandys before retiring to my bunk for a good sleep!

Die Deutsch-Abenteuer (Part 1)

Sat, 08 Nov 2008 12:00:00 GMT

Saarbr�cken was to be the first of our German shows on this tour! We arrived at the venue and wondered whether this teeny little venue would hold all the craziness of the German people! We take to the stage and the heat from the crowd hits us. We burst into our first song, "Kalifornia" and all hell breaks loose. The people at the front are all bent over the barriers and there are people crowdsurfing in the small gap between the audiences heads and the REALLY low ceiling. Saarbr�cken was a real rock'n'roll gig. Sweat pouring everywhere and the sound was immense. My ears were about to burst!

The Frankfurt Batschkapp is a venue we have visited once before, and it's always a treat arriving at a venue you know and have memories of. Before the show, I decided to take a long walk with our manager into the centre of town to have a look around. We found a computer shop so he could buy another power lead for his laptop and I browsed and ogled the new Apple Macs and then bough some doughnuts. Tasty! The show kicked off and everybody went crazy. It was easily one of the hottest shows we've ever played. I nearly slipped over my own sweat on the stage floor. I had three patches: one from my left arm, one from my right arm and one puddle formed from the sweat coming from my head and dripping off my chin. My hair was EXTREMELY wet! Gross, but slightly amusing! And I thought this show was hot and sweaty, then we arrived in K�ln...

K�ln was easiest one of the biggest indoor shows we've played in Germany. 1,500 people in one room all ready to dance and go crazy! Onstage it was EVEN hotter and sweatier than Frankfurt! We looked out on the sea of people singing our lyrics, dancing , crowd-surfing (WHICH I LOVE TO SEE!!) and moshing - there was also the occasional circle pit going on. Only three shows in and Germany is kicking ASS!

See you in Bremen!! :-D

L'Aventure Fran�ais 2008 (Part 1 & 2)

Fri, 24 Oct 2008 12:00:00 GMT
Waking up the day after the Brixton show was probably one of the most labouring tasks I've ever been put through. By the time I'd shaken off the sleep and made myself a tea everybody had already left to go home for their day off. The train journey home was bearable and actually quite snappy. The missus kept me upright (what a lifesaver!) until I felt my cerebral capacities slowly come back to me for the journey home. Then sleeeeeeeeeep�.

The great thing about playing shows in France is that they feed you very well. And that's ESSENTIAL. So today in Lille before the show we all had a juicy filet steak with garlic potatoes and, if you were lucky, a side of artichoke. Yummy! The show was also a fun one. The venue was quite compact and there were quite a few people there to see us! Some heckles en Francais and some surprising requests for "Move To Newlyn"! My white Gibson 335 has all but packed up so we switched to a borrowed brown one and it sounds like LOVE at my fingertips. Fantastic audience tonight!!

A day off in Bordeuax� I took the first turn out of the hotel and decided to walk around and see what I could find. What I found was one of the sweetest little old towns � it looked more Italian than it did French, which sort of implied itself in the pizza I ended up eating after I found a nice little caf� to stop at. The show the next day was probably one of the best performances we've pulled out of the bag in the while. We were just FEELING it. It all happened and the sound was rolling through our minds and came out in sweaty bundles into the audience. Stage dives and dancing, and at one point the crowd split like the Red Sea. This is turning out to be a very interesting French tour!!

L'Aventure Fran�ais 2008 (Part 2)

I'm making a really good habit of falling off the drumkit. Once in Berlin (check YouTube for that spectacular example of Gravity Vs. Billy Lunn) and now once again in Toulouse! I leap from the kit during the intro of "Oh Yeah" (it already feels like the song is going warp fucking speed) and the lights shut off and I have no idea where the floor is. I make what I think is an informed judgement based on memory, which clearly isn't as fucking crystal as I'd like it to be, and land later than expected - my weight is already too far back on my feet so I stumble haphazardly backwards and straight into the monitors at the front of the stage. I can still feel my legs so my spine isn't severed, but my dignity is harshly bruised. The audience, wonderful as they have been so far on this French tour, lift me from my pit of pain and despair and I carry on with the song thrashing the fuck out of my guitar cursing my wits. The show ends up being a great one, and after this particular show we make the decision to come back to France next year.

Montpellier Rockstore is a BEAUTIFUL venue. And, as our wonderful French support band for this tour Quidam inform us, it has an important rock heritage. It's a shame then that the first thing that greets what we call the gift and blessing of audial capacities as we enter the venue are raped and ravaged by the sound of fucking REGGAE. What is it with France and reggae? Granted, the French still think hip-hop is innovative and experimental and is totally, like, the bomb. Still, we're making a killing at these shows so clearly the ROCK is still flowing healthily through the veins of the French! I fall over once again - but at least this time it looks like I'm just going for it purposefully as I'm already flinging myself about the stage because I can't hear a damn thing in my ears - our monitor engineer gave me the wrong in-ear pack and I'm hearing only Josh's snare drum at 3,000dB. After mincing about onstage to find the right pack (my Dad, Josh's drum tech, had my pack!) I totally neglect the idea of even talking between songs and just PLAY. It was one of the most enjoyable times I've had onstage in a weird, slightly annoyed, totally aggressive and fucked up way.

MARSEILLE tomorrow!!

Adventures Parts 3 to 6 - Billy Lunn Tour Report

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 12:00:00 GMT
Adventure 2008 (Part 3) �AVIN IT!!!

Norwich didn't much like my "Aha!", but then i guess every band going through Norwich gives the Partidgeism a shot! We played two completely new songs, "Always Tomorrow" and "This Is the Club For People Who Hate People". Man, these audiences are amazing!

Tonight in Oxford was particularly special. We're two shows in and already hitting our stride!! I was carried all the way to the bar and Oxford screamed the luuuurve!

Beautiful people, we salute you!

Adventure 2008 (Part 4)

After Oxford, we had a lot to live up to. It was one of those shows where everything was just RIGHT. The set flowed nicely and the audience were all what Mr. Partridge would call "mentalists"....

...So then we're back at Keele Uni. It's been three long years since we last took to this stage and a lot has happened since then! Most notably, we've released another album and toured the world. Least notably, I've grown SOME chest hair. Just a little, since then. A teeny weeny hiccup at the beginning of "Kalifornia" aside, the show was storming and the audience went ballistic. NUTTERS! I couldn't help climbing the speaker stacks either. I'd never even considered the idea until the promoter came up to me ten minutes before the show and mentioned that the security guys had move the barrier back from the stage another two foot to prevent me front stage-diving or leaping from the speakers. That automatically instilled the "fuck you" attitude in me and I vowed to give it a go, just to piss the cheeky little (big, really) gits off! But really, the least they could have done was ask. I JUST made it over. On the first jump my bum literally scraped the paint off the barriers. On the second I decided, if I didn't want to Bill Hicks my own fans, I'd better put a little more into it and cleared the bugger nicely. Looking up at Sam and Barry from Twin Atlantic on the balcony I gave a little knowing wink (we'd made a wager before the show after I'd been told about the two foot difference whether I'd make it over!) and breathed a sigh of relief.

Everytime we play Leeds, we know that the little Yorkshire tykes are going to be clambering their way onto the stage and dancing like their grandmas after two shots of absinthe. I appreciated the kisses, too! There was a hell of a lot of dancing going on. And that break in "Turnaround" looked amazing from where we were standing. I still can't believe that Charlotte didn't fall over one of those "lumps" we had dispersed around the stage. Maybe it was because her boyfriend was in the audience and she wanted to impress him so she was EXTRA careful. Everybody now... "AAWWWWWWW!". But seriously, it's a very Charlotte thing to fall over ANYTHING. I'm still very shocked! And those platforms either side of the stage at that venue - well they're just begging to be jumped off, aren't they!! I couldn't help but swing off the second from the lighting rig. Variety is the spice of life!!

Adventure 2008 (Part 5)

Here we, here we, here we fucking go!

Touring with a support band like Twin Atlantic is great for so many reasons, not just for their awesome Scottish accents but these guys really know how to rock and they really love doing it. And as we head into the boundaries of Scotland you can literally here its inhabitants gasp. They can taste us approaching. Glasgow...You. Were. AMAZING! Not that you didn't know that anyway. Loud as hell. Twin Atlantic rocked the masses and got them going before we took to the stage to the yells of "HERE WE, HERE WE, HERE WE FUCKING GO!" - that chant is our most favourite thing about playing in Scotland...apart from the deep fried Mars bars and king spare ribs.

Only one Scottish date on this tour, but Jesus Fucking Christ was it a scorcher!!

Adventure 2008 (Part 6) rockin

SO I wake up and the first thing I see of Birmingham is the dark walls of a tunnel. After touring for quite a few years I should really be used to this now: we always park our bus at the back of a venue, which goes deep underground. I pack my things up, have a quick shower and decide to go for a walk in town. Why are there kids lining up outside HMV at noon? Shouldn't they be in school?! I say that out loud and someone leans in and says...
"You Me At Six are playing there later..."
"So fans of You Me At Six don't have an education? Go figure..." I replied, thinking immediately of getting some food in my belly to take my mind off mocking the growing line of the mostly young, female and (probably) virginal You Me At Six fans. Another bland mess that has sparked the imagination of people who can't help not knowing any better. Once they get wind of Biffy and QOTSA, they'll "get the net", as Wayne Campbell once said. I get some food and head to soundcheck. ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOCK ensues! Tonight's crowd is literally baying for blood. If there's not a circle pit then there's a yelling-the-words-to-the-sky competition going on. Sometimes both at the same time. I decide to leap from the speakers that earlier in the evening I'd promised myself not to!!

Southampton was another adventure. Our bus broke down....outside the venue!!! Lucky, eh! So we had to lug all our equipment and clothes and whatnot onto a replacement bus that showed up a few hours later. No big deal. Just a bit of a git, really. The Dodge Brothers turned up and Mr. Kermode immediately announces that he forgives us for our appearance in Rocknrolla, which I slyly laugh off and ask how stuff has been. They've all been great, apparently! It is bloody wonderful to see The Dodge Brothers once again - and to hear them play, because they sure can rock. Mark's new song, "42 Days" is a winner. Look for it on the new album. Oh! And they did insist that I try some new hair product...

Adventures 2008 (Part 2)

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 12:00:00 GMT
A quick pizza and a train into London spelled the beginning for me on this adventure. We rehearsed all the newies planned for the tour and joked about Charlotte's fucking extraordinary ability to be able to sieve any memory of any songs we haven't played within the last three weeks. Quite amazing.

It's good to have the crew back all in one place (minus our favourite Norwegian, a devoted Travis crew member now...!) and recapping on old ways and also joking about the extravagance planned for our first ever Brixton show!

Tonight it's Norwich UEA. D'ya reckon Partridge will be there...?

TOUR IS ROLLING!!!

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 12:00:00 GMT
CHarlotte now 110% and The Subways are ready to rock! First show is Norwich UEA tonight!

Adventure 2008 (Part 1)

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 12:00:00 GMT
"Charlotte is ill!", I hear down the phone line. I must confess, I was a little drunk when I heard this news. Drunk or sober, I knew this spelled out B.A.D. since we were supposed to start touring the very next day... "The show in Germany has been cancelled and we'll probably have to move the Nottingham show to the end of November to give her just a few more days to recuperate..." - When we play, we like to play hard and there's really no point in us going onstage unless we're ready to ROCK.

"But I really wanted to play this German show", I said, "I was looking forward to going to Hamburg!".
"I know, dude..." mumbled our manager, "It's just one of those things..."
"FUCK IT!", I replied! "Book me a ticket, I'll go over there on my own with my acoustic and bash out a few numbers. At least then one of us is there and who knows, I could actually have a LAUGH..."
"Well I'd best call Steve (our sound engineer) to look after you... You know what you're like Billy. You'll end up in a ditch in Middlesbrough."

And so the journey began from my house in Essex to the runways of Heathrow Airport (approximately two and a half hours!) and Ice G (Mr. Steve Gurney - sound engineer/tour manager extraordinaire) and I were off to rock Hamburg armed with...my acoustic guitar...watch out, Hamburg! We arrived and made our way to the venue to commence soundcheck.
"So it's just you?" said the stage manager.
"Yes! Little old me. I'll still blow your socks off. Just without a distortion pedal. Don't worry, it'll all be fine...", I lied "I've done this a thousand times before..." I lied again. I even convinced myself!
Ice G and I zoomed off to the Italian restaurant where all our label reps were drunkenly convening before the big bang that was tonight's festival show. I assured them that even if I sucked we could all sip on German beer and numb the effect of disappointment and tiredness by at least 30%. Off we all went, and I kept my chin held high. Foals played a blinding show before I took to the stage, quivering and mildly content that in 9 songs it'll all be over with anyway. Did I expect that sort of reception? NO. Wow! Did I expect that sing-a-long? NO! And that loud? NEVER!! Was I happy with how it all went? OH YES! Well worth the trip and the hair-tearing nerves. I even stopped the set to give Charlotte a quick phone call so the audience could all wish her well in their Germanic unison. Her mobile went to voicemail...BOLLOCKS! I have her parents number, maybe she's round there...
"Hello?"
"Hello, Sharon (Charlotte's mum) it's Billy. Is Charlotte there at all?"
"Yeah she's just asleep at the moment, I think. I could go and check for you...?"
"That would be lovely, thanks Sharon!" I almost went into full blown conversation asking how her day was, but I was reminded by the 800 people gazing at me intently in the spotlight onstage exactly what it was I was there for. And for a moment I wondered whether Charlotte's mum would say that she's asleep and shouldn't really be woken! What to do then?!
"Hello...?" Came Charlotte's frail voice down the line...
"Hello Charlotte! How are you feeling today? Any better?"
"A little bit, thank you... But still very tired and ill and sickly..."
"Aw, well I do believe that Hamburg has a special message for you..."
"GET WELL SOOOOOON CHAAAAARLOTTE!" came the yell down the line!
"Aw that's very sweet of you all! Vielen Dank!"
"Well she loved the message Hamburg! Now let's get back to the music!"

And so the adventure began! More to come, rockers! See you on this tour!!

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Billy Lunn US Tour Diary Summer 08

Fri, 01 Aug 2008 12:00:00 GMT
THE SUBWAYS American Tour Diary by BILLY LUNN

Friday 25th July 2008

Yesterday began with practically no sleep and a very early flight from London Heathrow to JFK airport in New York. Today started with at least eleven hours catch up sleep under our belts and a nice warm breakfast in our bellies! So onwards to Warner Music HQ, where eight interviews were scheduled and only four took place � still, it all stank of absolute fun and extreme enjoyment! We potted about stealing CD�s from desks and playing Rock Band on Wii � and finally realising that the only people who try to be good at this are absolute retards with more time to waste than Satan HIMSELF waiting forever more outside the gates of heaven. We�re off to do the real thing, and play to a room full of New Yorkers! After all the flying, lost hours, no sleep, no food and dealing with underpaid, impolite and frankly dementedly fascistic customs men (both sides of the Atlantic� are these people born, raised and trained by jackals?) we play to the sexiest bunch of people. We have a tour manager and guitar tech without VISAs and stranded in London right now. It�s all very punk rock at the moment with guitar tunings and production organisation. Regardless, our audiences are starting to shock us in their sex ratio � we�re really starting to build up quite a batch of sexy fans. I�m very proud! New York had spirit tonight.

Saturday 26th July 2008

My alarm was set for 4:30am. I managed to get to sleep for midnight after hot-tailing it out of the venue last night, even though Luke from The Kooks asked if I wanted to party with him. �Errrr, no! I�m afraid I have people to rock, Luke�� Still, I could have done with a nightcap. A quick bathe and a shave (do I even NEED to shave? It�s mostly blonde fluff�) and I was out the hotel room and in the lobby by 6am for our trip back to the airport to catch the flight to Boston. Or �Borrrstowwwwn�, as the locals speak it. Our plane was so teeny even a gnat�s fart would have caused turbulence in this thing. Joshua was shitting his pants but any fears of plummeting out of the sky were eradicated by the amusement of filming Charlotte�s half sleep/half awake head-bobbing. When we got there we zoomed to our Days Inn hotel and recognised the clerk at the desk from the last time we were here. Some things never change. Like how total groovejet Boston audiences are. YES! Our rent-a-guitar tech today was awesome � thanks Mike! - and so was Chad, our sound engineer for the night. Let�s celebrate not fucking up for a second night in a row with a few beers in a Boston college bar full of jocks! The place really got going at my request for Rick James�s �Super Freak� on the jukebox.

Sunday 27th July 2008

Waking up to Neil Young�s �Heart Of Gold� is such a sweet thing. That�s why I set that song as my alarm tone. BEEEAAAAUTIFUL! It�s a travel day today. Our plans were to fly back to New York to connect with a flight heading to Seattle, but they were slightly hampered by the notion of a summer storm swallowing the entirety of The Big Apple � no planes going in or out all day. Thank the universe, then, for the 32 track Biffy Clyro playlist I�d made on my iPod! It was so good my face actually began to melt. By the time �With Aplomb� came on we�d re-jigged our tickets to take us through Dallas and on to Seattle. Phew! As �Jaggy Snake� hit its climactic flourishes we�d boarded the plane. In Biffy we trust. But the majesty of Biffy (or even QOTSA) couldn�t stop the feeling that halfway through our flight to Dallas we realised that we�d easily miss the connecting flight we booked to Seattle� The times on our tickets didn�t seem to work out� We�d been booked for the wrong departure time� By the time we�d land in Dallas our connecting flight to Seattle would already have fucked off without us. SHIT! So after we landed, running ensued. I felt no sense of guilt barging past the old lady in the wheelchair (Americanism is contagious!) to leg it to our connecting flight. The bastard had gone. SHIIIIIT! Who the hell said travel days are days off???? But what�s this? There�s one last flight? Get us on it!! Even if we are at the back! Get us on that plane! GET US ON THAT PLANE!!!

Monday 28th July 2008

We got on the damn plane! It was a four-hour flight and we all managed at least two hours sleep during. By the time we arrive at our hotel in Seattle it was 1am (4am to us on East Coast time!) and we�d been travelling for at least eighteen hours. Sleeeeeeeeep�. After our first solid bit of sleep in a week we all woke to find that our bus driver who�d be escorting us around the West Coast for the next week, wasn�t going to make the pick up time at the hotel - but by this time we were used to things not really going to plan so we hailed a taxi and lugged all the equipment into the back and made our way to the venue. Some razor sharp legend at our record label secured a live acoustic performance for Charlotte and me at End Radio (great station, by the way! We played at their festival, Endfest, a few years ago and it ruled!) occurring during the small window of time we were given to perform our necessary soundcheck � we�re all on rented gear on this tour so soundchecks are essential for us to mess around and see if everything is working. NOT TODAY, apparently! Still, the thing rocked and we knocked out renditions of �Oh Yeah� and �Shake! Shake!� to a handful of very enthusiastic attendees. We rushed back to the venue to grab some grub before we took to the stage. First song in and I receive a delicious blast of electric current to my mouth pulsating right through my body making me convulse as I try to sing the opening lyrics of �Kalifornia�. THIS IS WHAT SOUNDCHECKS ARE FOR!! The rented amps I was using weren�t earthed properly so everytime I made contact with the microphone to sing it felt like I was going to shit my pants from the force of these electric shocks � very painful. Luckily our monitor engineer saw one of the convulsions and managed to find a cover for the microphone so I could finish the set comfortably and without any pant-shitting antics ensuing. It really wouldn�t have mattered if he hadn�t, though, because I was buzzing so hard from the amazing audience we had. Bouncing, moshing, and my eardrums seemed fit to burst with their screams it was purely fucking orgasmic. GO SEATTLE!!!

Tuesday 29th July 2008

Portland has always been awesome for several reasons, one of them being that it�s a tax-free state and the food is cheap! Yum! So the first thing we did was find the nearest restaurant around, which happened to be Lebanese, and filled our bellies to keep up our energy. Yum! With this show being the last before our tour manager/sound engineer and guitar rejoin us after VISA kerfuffle�s, we really felt compelled to kick out the jams. Our guitar tech had some issues with our strange tunings and so some of the songs were played in alternate keys and with strange notes here and there but that all added to the frenetic air of the show. Plus, tuning your guitar halfway through a riff with a spare hand looks awesome, and I never pass up an opportunity to look awesome! Let�s have a beer�to celebrate the end of the hardest four days of any recent tour we�ve done! Tomorrow is San Francisco!!

Wednesday 30th July 2008

YES!! So this morning we finally picked up our wayward tour manager/sound engineer, Steve-O and our guitar tech, Mr. Ken Wood (yes, that�s his REAL name) and we headed for the gay capital that is San Francisco! After a few rather fun interviews (one involving me stammering through a guitar magazine cross-examination and practically blagging it) we soundchecked. It was all rather pleasant having them back and, during the course of soundcheck, we realised I should completely ditch the Les Paul we�d rented as a backup guitar realising it looked and sounded way to Wolf(wank)mother and I really didn�t want to look like (too much of�) a dick. We also realised how much of a walk this soundcheck had been since our last four soundchecks where we�d literally been running about the place plugging shit in where it don�t necessarily need to be plugged � �What the fuck does THIS wire do????� etc. The show, then, was pretty awesome. After I had a quick two-hour catch up nap we took to the stage and the crowd were great! Regardless of the fact that on two occasions I called the people who weren�t clapping along Pricks, but by the last three numbers they�d all thrown down their beers and taken to dancing their sexy little tushies off! And for the first time ever I did a Jack Black � I dover off the stage to have no little git catch me. They PARTED!! I landed right on my arse, stunned, and couldn�t stand up for at least ten seconds because my legs went like jelly beneath me. Hiding my shame (and my pain) I climbed back on to the stage and told them that I�ll be jumping again and this time they�d better catch me, which they did. Thank fuck for that!!

Thursday 31st July 2008

Day off in Ventura, California. I had a bowl of chilli and a beef stew along with the greatest milkshake I�ve ever had in my entire life (and Oreo milkshake, nonetheless!) in a classic 50�s American diner. Sleep ensued, and the conservation of energy along with it! I wrote an email to my mum and watched Seven on my laptop. Not an eventful day, but a necessary one at that!

Friday 1st August 2008

Los Angeles, today! Our bus pulled up outside Ralph�s (which is essentially what we�d know as Tesco) and we all grabbed some grub before heading for the venue. Soundcheck was dandy, though Josh spent what felt like twenty minutes checking every tiny corner of his drum kit for the PERFECT onstage sound, and we all went for more grub! Fooooooooooooood! You must keep up your energy levels for this sort of thing. The show was introduced by KROQ�s Rodney Bingenheimer. He took to the stage and introduced us whilst Josh was still in the toilet �getting ready�, so we ended up actually appearing three minutes after he said ��And now here�s The Subways�!� I leapt off the balcony during Rock & Roll Queen and landed on exactly the same brusied coccyx I�d landed on during the San Francisco stage-dive! This is really going to take a while to heal� After the show we went to a bar three doors down from the venue. Of course, we�d have to wade through the mob of paparazzi. Not for us, apparently. The club next door was full of famous people � it�s a celebrity hang out, of course! Come on, people! We have them all in the same place at once! All the stupid media whores in the same vicinity as the parasitic paps! Take them out!! Next time, maybe.

Saturday 2nd August 2008

To keep ourselves from getting totally roasted by just sitting around in the sun, our favourite Warners rep, a Mr. Brant Weil, took us on a trip through Anaheim to the seafront where we ate at a classic 50�s American diner. I consumed half my burger and didn�t touch any more chips for fear of an aneurysm. My Oreo shake was EXCELLENT. Tonight was one of the best shows and that�s probably because it was one of those gigs where it�s really small-town, and it reminded me of the venue where we used to go and see shows when we were young(er) and where we played our first ever gig when we started out- The Square in Harlow. The place wasn�t exactly full but the energy and the spirit and the will was there and everybody really got into it. Smiles and dancing all round!

Sunday 3rd August 2008

It�s Josh�s birthday in three days. Shit! And I still have nothing yet to give him as a present. I�ll think if something. San Diego was an awesome crowd as usual. It was fantastic seeing familiar faces in the audience and finally getting to play all the new material we�ve been waiting so long to play for them. I remember that we kicked out �Girls & Boys� live for the first time after finishing writing it in San Diego on our 2006 tour with Taking Back Sunday so there are a lot of nice memories here for us! I climbed the rafters in the ceiling and felt less of a twinge in my coccyx from my previous two accidents in San Francisco and Los Angeles. The dancing and moshing in �Turnaround� was monumental and it�s starting to become a real live favourite for us watching all the crazy bodies go utterly nuts in the breakdown. With this being the last of the American dates we celebrated in classic style by cracking open the leftover beers on the bus and having a nice mini party with our support band, Black Market. Awesome guys and awesome conversation!

Monday 4th August 2008

Press day in Los Angeles! Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat! But seriously, it was all great fun and we love any opportunity to talk about ourselves for long periods of time. Plus we get free food and drinks all day!

Berlin itunes Festival EP (Excludes UK)

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 12:00:00 GMT
On May 4th 08 The Subways performed a show in Berlin as part of The itunes Festival. Josh had to pull out at the last minute due to severe illness (poor boy... though he's better now). Billy & Charlotte stepped up to the challenge of performing an unrehearsed acoustic set.

The show was magical. The audience blown away and the resulting EP is probably one of the best acoustic live recordings we have of the band.

So we're on a plane to Japan and we know this is going to be exhasting. Two days of ten hour long sessions of interviews and a show for MTV Japan with The Music. It was. But goddamit, was it fun!!

I don't think I've ever been so amused at watching Josh actually sleep through four interviews. I felt a sense of empathy rather than annoyance considering that they were the last of what was essentially a 20 hour stint of talking about the same issues and interests to do with this band, consisting mostly of the lyrical and musical direction of the new album (agiven), the album title and its interpretations and Charlotte and me breaking up halfway through the recordings. No subject is taboo when one chooses to wear ones heart on one's sleeve.

Japanese food... Mmmmmmm!!! Watching The Music also made us feel like we weren't alone in this world. Another band who actually give a fuck about playing a LIVE SHOW! And if Robert Harvey hasn't got one of the greatest rock voices of our generation then who the hell has? And those guys can drink, too. It was also quite assuring hearing their mutual opinions on what we like to call "jingly jangly" bands - bands who fear for their lives about wanting to use dynamic, structure and maybe a distortion pedal in any of their songs to create impact! Thank the universe then for bands like The Music. Brains and balls. And just really really nice lads to boot.

So on the plane to Germany...here we come!

All Or Nothing

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 12:00:00 GMT
We found this image of stunt driver Spanky Spangler's car careering off a ramp on fire and knew immediately that this was the album artwork for us. It reminded us of ourselves, spinning and stamping onstage and leaping our kamikaze arses off balconies and 20ft speakers into the sweaty, crowdsurfing masses. It encompasses everything that this album is about: ALL OR NOTHING. Billy Lunn - The Subways

The Subways Moho Live show - Cancellation

The Subways Moho Live show - Cancellation

The band's management regret to announce that the show at Manchester Moho, May 23rd 2008, as part of 'The Aftershow', has had to be cancelled. The show was booked as a secret gig (unannounced) as part of a 6 band bill but since the booking, tickets advertising The Subways have become available at seetickets and as a result are being sold for profit on ebay. We feel that this is unfair to fans as the show was booked as a special guest appearance and subsequently the band were due to play a very short set. This was always intended to be a non-advertised special guest appearance; it was never intended to be a Subways headline show and tickets should not have been advertised on this basis . The band and management would like to apologize to tickets holders for any inconvenience this may cause.

Tickets can be refunded here at point of purchase.

The band will be announcing a future solo show in Manchester for after the festival season at a later date.

GERMANY: K�ln, Berlin, M�nchen... and finally, Hamburg!

Tue, 04 Mar 2008 12:00:00 GMT
Germany! You utterly crazy bastards, you! I thought we were in for an easy ride these first few shows of our first tour for what feels like FOREVER, but obviously not so! But then how could we cop out like that when we call our new album "All Or Nothing"...? It HAS to be all or nothing, and so far it's pretty much been the "ALL" all the way.

It's fair to say that the video recording show at the Stoke Sugarmill and the Clash Magazine show at the Green Room (in our hometown of Welwyn Garden City) were our first tentative steps into playing with the assertive vigour we've been commonly associated with, and K�ln (Cologne to you uncultured philistines) was the show where we truly flexed our muscles. You kiddos sure as hell showed us what you're made of too. You scared this old hide of mine for a minute or two into our first number ("Kalifornia") when you greased up and 'got stuck in' in the mosh pit. MOSH PIT! It's been a good while since I've seen a proper one of those! And compliments to the 7,000 or so loudest bunch of screamers (that I've ever heard...!) at the Fritz Radio Berlin Arena show. I think the rest of Germany heard us. And if they say they didn't hear us then they're lying. They're just jealous because THEY WEREN'T THERE! And people of M�nchen! Dangling from the ceilings and lighting rigs is DANGEROUS. Naughty naughty naughty people of M�nchen! I LIKED IT. Very much! And thank you to the gentleman who handed me the beer halfway through my crowdsurf in "Turnaround" - though was it totally necessary to demand your beer back after the show? Surely that was a GIFT to the ART OF ROCK!!

And so here we are... Hamburg!

But it's not over by a long shot. We'll be back VERY soon. And to the rest of you, be warned! The Subways are on their way to you!!
