2013 and all that jazz (OK folk)

Hello friends

Well M.O.D have played their last gig of 2013, surrounded by smashing plates and silly dancing. 

We would like to say thank you for coming to our gigs, dancing to our tunes and buying our EP.

We would like to say that, but we won’t. 

Instead we will say we LOVE YOU and we give LOVING THANKS, not just “thank you”, for all those things what YOU DID in our company. YES, that even includes that THING you HOPED WE HADN’T NOTICED. YOU KNOW WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.

Already 2014 is looking to be a BEAUTIFUL year x

Here is what to expect in the short term from M.O.D:

  • Miggle is so happy he will bang his drumset for you. AND LAUGH.
  • Jerry is currently shopping for new LEGS
  • Alex will be 13 to celebrate
  • Badger will shout at you even more
  • Stallwood will install MORE printers
  • Arran will reach the age of 38
  • Betty will continue to lurk, offering words of withering sarcasm

You will be HAPPY with this. 

Thank you and may we fail to wish you a SPLENDID appropriated former pagan festival and a happy new Roman-decided year!

 

Triumphant Homecoming Christmas Gig

M.O.D are coming to town… There’s a song in that somewhere. However. In this case, the annual Christmas Gig of Justice Featuring M.O.D, your Ultimate Folk Band Of Justice. Fresh from an exhaustive yearly tour of various venues playing stuff at people, M.O.D welcome you to some kind of ridiculous shindig.

As Miggle excitedly squealed: “Fed up of Turkey? or is nut loaf your thing? Well never mind it isn’t Christmas yet. Come along to MODZ FREE Christmas Gig of Ultimate Justice 2013 and have a cup of tea or 25 with us, we dont mind as we totally endorce the magical liquid product known as tea. Yeah TEA MMMmmmmm. We might do some music too.”

Alex whimpered: “Obligatory Christmas Gig Invite”

Jerry threw a minion up in the air and LAUGHED

James installed a printer

Arran hid in his Trumpet because HE CAN.

Badger wrote this rubbish

and we might have a special guest or two. Oh yes. Maybe three. Obviously you lot are special too.

FREE ENTRY at the LOVELY CAMPBELL’S LANDING opposite the MIGHTY & VICTORIOUS Clevedon Pier, THRUSTING maniacally into the TUMULTUOUS current of the SEVERN.

HERE IS THE INVITE. DO THIS.

M.O.D do not endorse smoking. They do endorse BEARDS of the WHITE variety though.

Thank you The Barge Inn…

What an evening to round off a cool few days! Thank you to all at The Barge Inn for a fantastic reception. The Barge Bangers were the best sausages we’ve ever had, probably, and the ale was apparently beautiful* too.

What a beautiful beautiful venue. So much so, we left Jerry there as an excuse to go back when the pub calls us to point out we’d left him behind.

We were so happy that on the way home James decided he wanted to make his own crop circle “homage”. Of course, we found this distasteful, and pointed out that there is no crop in which to make this circle given that most farmers had cunningly harvested the crop; and besides, we didn’t want our friends from other planets landing on his head and probing him whilst he made his “crop circle”. Then he fell asleep whilst dribbling and occasionally muttering about installing printers.

*Badger does not understand this “beer” concept. There is only tea. TEA. Yes.

M.O.D VIDEO LARK. A REQUEST x

Hello

Are you a dab hand at contriving to record moving pictures? Do you know how to employee the power of lighting during the production of a moving picture? Maybe you’re even intrigued by the powers of microphones whilst performing such feats? Do you fancy doing that whilst M.O.D are the beautiful subject of your filming endeavours? Can you make the west’s ugliest folk band* look pretty with painty things and cloth-based products? Or do you know someone who answers to these vague descriptions?

If you do, then let us, or a band member know. We are looking for a splendid person of such talented splendidness to collaborate with. Are YOU that person, or are YOU at least a part of that person?

 

 

 

 

*other ugly folk bands are available at the time of writing
