Dear friends,
Happy late summer sunshine! Sorry about the lack of updates recently. Non-band life has gotten busy over the summer as two-thirds of us are moving house and we're still working out what repercussions this will have for pro-band life. We've also got a backlog of new songs to polish furiously and finish off before we want to start playing regularly again, so that people (and us) don't get too bored of the same ol' sheeeeeeeeeit.
We had thought that this would rule out any pubic appearances in the latter half of 2013, but we have been approached about a very special couple of gigs later this year that we just couldn't say no to. More details will be forthcoming as soon as we're allowed to talk about them...

SATURDAY: LAST GIG O' T' YEAR(?)
Hola!
This is on Saturday 20 July:
Obligatory Facebook is here. Burn The Jukebox's website is here. Wallop!
This will our last gig in London (and probably anywhere else) for the year as we take some time off over the summer and our lives get incredibly complicated in September, then we'll focus on doing some new stuff!

MY GIG WITH MARVIN
Ok fellas, here's the skinny on our next gig:
Good grief! We're delighted to be welcoming back to Nottingham one of our favourite bands:
MARVIN
http://
MARVIN are Emilie, Greg and Fred from Montpellier, France, combining drums, analogue synths, guitars and vocoders. Think Trans Am, Golden, Led Zep, Devo. Part stadium rock, part synth pop, part MAD PARTY VIBEZ. They have been playing 200+ shows a year for the last 5 years all over the world (China?! The Caribbean?!) and it's super exciting to finally have them back in Nottingham.
CANTALOUPE
http://
More synth/guitar/drums action from Nottingham's fourth best, second laziest but first sexiest band. Fresh back from the kind of European tour that gives a man a permanent thousand yard stare, be prepared for tight tropico-sympa grooves and a slightly unsettling air of psychosis.
HANG
Nottingham's hotte$t new band. Transcendental repeato-riffs and primal boogie for fans of all things cyclical.
Tickets will be £5 on the door. This will be part of Chameleon's grand reopening, after they will have been closed to redecorate for all of 11 days! Nick's got a late licence all weekend and there'll be DJs until 3am. Cripes!
See you there xx

THAT WAS THE TOUR THAT WAS
Phew! Wow, what a European tour we had. Thanks to everyone who put us on, put us up, fed us, drank with us and generally put up with us. The highlights are too numerous to mention, but suffice to say that we made a lot of new friends and loved catching up with some old ones too. The photo above is of us in a fridge in Bosch Bar, Zurich, trying to cool down after a riotous party at 1am on a Monday night. Those crazy, crazy Swiss.
You can find more photos courtesy of our wonderful roadie, driver, spiritual advisor and Thing One, subsequently rechristened as THE ROAD, Jim Alexander - here and here.
So what now? Well, our new 12" will be in record shops from Monday, or you can buy it from here NOW. And we're playing some shows this summer - check out our SHOWS page! Isn't that enough?

ON TOUR
Aye up,
Thanks to everyone who came out for the launch of the Splish/Wet Dog 12"; we managed to sell Chameleon out (apologies ot anyone who couldn't get in!) and had an absolutely brilliant time. Extra special love goes out to I AM LONO, The Cusp and The Kneel Before Zod Video Club of Nottingham Club for their sterling, stellar work on the night. Left Lion also furnished us with a lovely glowing review of the night.
If you missed out on the gig, Splish/Wet Dog will be available in all remaining half-decent actual record shops from Monday 17th June.
If you're too excited, you can pre-order it here from Hello Thor and get yer download codes in advance of the vinyl platter in June.
If you're in the Nottingham way, I'm sure we'll bring some copies to the Fists album launch all-dayer on Saturday 8th June too... assuming we have any left from our impending exploits abroad:
