Myself and the rest of the Jack of Speed crew have frantically getting ready for the launch gig coming up this Saturday. We pretty much spent all day Satrday, Sunday and Monday rehersing up at our rehersal space in Ali’s folks’ gaff. At the end of the three days my fingers were so wrecked I couldn’t even clench my fist without it hurting… Just makes me think how tough it is on bands on tour, playing a gig ever night for weeks on end!

Over the weekend we put up the EP we recorded over the summer on our myspace, last.fm and facebook. Be sure to check it out and come along to our launch gig this weekend! It’s going to be a great night!

And now for some random pics I took with my phone! Check out how much damage I did to one of my drum sticks! You’d swear Greg was at it with hit hamster teeth! Thats all for now!

Just thought I’d throw this up on Gaffbhala.com

Well hello there! Its been so long since I’ve made a post on gaffbhala.com and for that I whole heartedly apologise… I just thought I’d get the finger out and say hello and give you a little nerdy Dan update…

Yesterday my new toy arrived I got an Asus EEE PC 900. Its a little thing of beauty! I installed Ubuntu EEE on it too and its running pretty nice.

I’m currently sitting in Insomnia after having a coffee and crap sambo writing away on it now! Here’s some pics i took with my phone back in the office

Well thats it for now, time to leg it back the 200 meters to work!

I finally got around to edting a video together for our 4th of july party we had a couple of weeks ago!! Check it out on youtube!

Howdy all! Thanks so much to the people who came to the party, especially all those who gave us some kitchen towel Hats off to Ian who supplied us with some great tunes and entertainment too! Great news was that it wasnt actually too hard to clean up the next day incase you were worrying about me and the lads :p

Wig went around for a bit with my camera, so when I get some time I’ll put something together and I’ll post it.

Here’s a little video Clem took during the strobe rave You can hear Grum begging in the background for “One More Time” along with some random screaming!

I’ve noticed over the past few days that there’s a bunch of photo’s floating around FaceBook from the party. I put a bunch of them in the photos section so check them out!

My good friend Aiden showed me a very cool tool for face augmentation and transformation! Check it out at this site. So earlier this morning I whipped out my camera phone in the office and snapped a pic of me, uploaded it and started playing around! Here’s what I came up with!

America…

Coming again, to save the mother fucking day yeah,
America, FUCK YEAH!
Freedom is the only way yeah,
Terrorist your game is through cause now you have to answer too,
