3 September 7:00:48 AM	We kick off our autumn schedule on 27 Sept at The Star, Guildford 8 p.m. onwards, £3 on the door. If I can keep the Smith Brothers, aka the the Bruise Brothers from killing each other before the gig, it should make for an explosive performance.
3 September 5:52:35 AM	Chris Braid and his hot new line up are coming to a town near you, as long as you live near Guildford. We've kept the hairy bloke on guitar, and as if one Smith brother wasn't enough, we've recruited two of his younger brothers on bass and drums.
3 September 5:49:22 AM	Braid is back! Reports in rock circles that Braid had 'crashed and burned' are wide of the mark. Braid is bigger and better then ever.
2 September 10:46:32 AM	Stressed out at the moment - too much pressure from work, the music and everything else. I'll start posting again as soon as things calm down. Check back soon!

26 August 4:40:41 PM	Had a rehearsal over the long weekend - just an hour or so but it sounded good.
22 August 10:17:11 AM	Moonfest is cancelled after the police managed to ban Pete Doherty because his music "gees up the crowd." According to The Bill, Babyshambles "speed up and then slow down the music and create a whirlpool effect in the crowd."  Moonfest
21 August 11:13:56 AM	The rest has been great but I'm now really looking forward to gigging again. 'The Bruise Brothers' sound great but we're still looking for a rhythm guitarist.
