THIS IS SWEETCHUNKS! 300 likes!

Hi Chaps!
               So empires have risen and crumbled, seas have dried up and mountains worn to dust since the last update. So I thought it best to post something.

First of all a big thanks to everyone who helped us get to 300 likes on FB and kept us at No 1 on reverbnation.
That shit be phat Yo!

We've been playing a fuck ton and we havent even finished our first year, and it's been going on a steady rise of awesomeness, Towards some sort of Joy based event, (preferably with an en suite and decent tea and coffee making facilities). 
The Gigasaurus (our mouldy fiat Brava) has traveled many miles, with Ash at the wheel, Kept awake only by the prospect of Stu passing out and tipping cider over himself, along our many journeys across the tan line of London (also known as the m25). 
We have become familiar with the many great service stations of this land, to the point where we actually have preferences, and aim for services with KFC's (There is nothing like hungover KFC)*1

And we have established that if left unattended,Charlie and Mike will disappear into the nearest set of woods and not return until all of the drugs In a 20 mile radius are gone and they have been awake for at least 72 hours.

But god damn it they will still go on stage afterwards! (after 30 bloody Mary's and a pig's worth of bacon).

As a group we have drunk together, sung together, sat quietly while Stu has hissy fits together, staggered round this great land at arse-o'clock in the morning looking for food together, danced on tables, screaming song lyrics because the PA exploded together, emptied entire bottles of tequila in the name of science together and realised: this is what being in a band is meant to be, and we are having the time of our fucking lives!

Thanks to everyone who has helped and is helping us to continue this mad tangent filled carnival!

Ash, Charlie, Mike & Stu
Xx




*1 Incidentally, if KFC ever want free advertising, all they have to give us is free KFC for life and we will be the colonels finger lickin' bitch!

The Inebriation proclamation

What ho!

Well, we've finished the EP. It's louder Phatter and more explicit than No Frills, but still holding true to the Sweetchunks vibe.

We're currently sorting out artwork, iTunes and spotify and will post it all and more when it's ready.

Don't worry it will be available on cd and possibly vinyl.


Brace your Faces for Impact!

Once more into the studio dear friends!

Broadsword calling Danny boy....
Broadsword calling Danny boy...

Well here we are again, writing inane gibberish for 6 people in Russia, a few lost surfers and you with your morbid curiosity....

First of all a massive thanks to those who attended RockstoneAID on Saturday and a big "go and fuck a gun barrel" to the couple who complained it was "rather loud and crowded" it's a Saturday night.. In a pub! you agoraphobic hermit snail!

Other than that though it was a great evening and a big thanks to all my chums from the SCB and Bemis who gave up their time to play.

Anyways as the title dictates Ash, Darryl Thomas and I will be going at the studio like drunks at a cocktail menu *

We shall be re recording my solo EP, giving it more oomph, and paying someone to make us sound good.

After its recorded we should be able to get it on iTunes and spread it about like the clap!

Now I must leave...
Burton is on and Clint has just started killing Nazis!




*With gusto, but forever worrying about the price....

Ps five points if you got the film reference..

ROCKSTONEAID


This Saturday (16th) Bemis & the Sweetchunks Band will be playing a special gig at the Rockstone in Southampton.
On Sunday 3rd of Febuary the Rockstone pub in Southampton was robbed and £5000 was taken from the safe.
As a small business the Rockstone has taken a large hit, Wages need to be paid and so do suppliers.
       The Rockstone does needs help, BUT they are not asking for hand outs, they are just asking you to help the Rockstone help itself, by doing what it does best.
        So This Saturday Bemis & The Sweetchunks Band are putting on a free Gig. So come see Great Live music, Eat Great food and drink hearty!

Food all day and Music Starts at 8.

The full story is here:

Rock on Chaps!

RockstoneAID

Hullo chaps,
This was meant to be an announcement of the formation of the worlds greatest ever Sweetchunks related band; the inventively named, Sweetchunks Band!

BUT the birthplace of this supernatural leviathan of folk has come under attack!

Some thieving little shit broke into the Rockstone and stole £7000 from the safe.

This has been a major kick in the balls for Landlord and Lady Greenwood. So we decided to help the Greatest Pub on the Southcoast bounce back.

RockstoneAID will feature the SCB and our friends BEMIS. (They're lovely, Except the bassist...he's a massive bell end....


SATURDAY FEBUARY 16th Is RockstoneAID day. It's like LiveAID but with more Beards and Booze.

Come on Down and celebrate a great pub and at 8pm we have a wizard performing a syphilis curse on the thief. The more people we have the more syphilis the thief will get.

Any way...farewell Chunkfans

I must awaaaaaay!




By the way please say hello to:
Ash "Bass" Lines the new bassist.

I knew I'd forgotten something..
