Hot Summer Knights (as in chess men)
 
Dun Ringles actually play a gig featuring all four of them!!!!!!!!!
 
Oh yus, live in Mavis' kitchen in old Melbost, the DR's performed to a intimate audience of a few wives, mothers and offspring. Playing such classics as Peter Dan, Ponderous, Sheep, and 'hits' off the new album, the band nearly managed to remember all necessary chords, words and dance steps. Watch out for pics soon!!!

Midges of Rock venue
 
As more and more venues in Stornoway refuse to have anything to do with Midges of Rock, it has become harder and harder for the MOR organisers to find a suitable place to hold the festival. Robin and Wattie recently had to climb the Clisham to search out a possible open-air site. (photo to appear soon).

Yes, I know, its been ages since the last news update. However, here goes everything thats happened since last I wrote.
 
  • Robins elbow is still not right but he can still play the keyboards and that's what matters most!
  • Rehearsals have started for a possible summer gig!! Oh yus, Jason and Wattie have met at a secret Melbost location to run through a possible set list and for Jason to teach Wattie where to place his fingers on the fret board. Colin 'Sign Red' Macleod also confirmed as special guest star drummer.
  • Wattie guests on the new Memphis Louie CD. Oh yus, flown specially to Deadolacs secret Morningside recording studio, Wattie laid down some backing vocals mahn, last Tuesday 6 July. Wattie reports the new material from MLATRFOD is 'flickin' hardy'.
  • Rumours spreading of a new supergroup consisting of Dun Ringles and MLATRFOD members. Watch out for Zombie Herring Explosion
  • Three new releases from CJ's False Walls label. Check out www.falsewalls.com for all the facts

Well, not so much latest news, more a recap of stuff thats happened in May.
Biggest news story is Robin been and gone done dislocating and breaking his elbow whilst playing football. In a game of two halves between Thurso Mad Scientists vs Wick Women of the Night, Robins superlative front of goal tackle on the ball resulted in an early bath for the parrot. Plans for a summer gig in Sy are still on, although Robin will be in plaster for ages. Jason will probably make him play just using his left hand.
 
Also, Swedish Transvestite confirmed as first booking for 2004 Midges of Rock!! Rumours that Zing Pop will also be on the bill still unconfirmed. Speculation is rife that Memphis Louie and The Rockin' Firebird Of Death have been approached to appear on the bill. Watch this space!!!

Four Chessmen 'album of the week' on Isles FM!!!
In a shock move, local community radio station Isles FM today announced that The Four Chessmen would be this weeks featured album. A spokesperson for the radio station said that this was unrelated to the mysterious disappearance of all the stations other CD's after a suspicious break in at the Newton St nerve centre.
 
Four Chessmen pumping on Rapals Stereo!!!
In another shock move, Rapal have placed the Four Chessmen on the office radiogram. This means the album will be making BBC staff sick all week! Check out http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/alba/radio/rapal/stereo.shtml
