The Faults

Never use the word Blog in the title of your Blog…Word!

Alright you Mothers, The Captain is back again.

I know you have had some blogs in between my last, but lets face it you all come here just to see mine so on we go…

Did some recording as D-dog said, it was great fun in the studio and to be honest I’d be a studio musician all day everyday it is great fun. Hats off also Leigh at Earthworks also who did a great job and got us a demo we can be proud of (maybe not Al, but you can’t always please Big Fucking Trees).

So I’m not going to dwell to much on my miss fortunes but I’ve had massive aids now for over a week. It started as probably one of the worst colds any human has had, bad throat, pounding head and bogies like anything. After a couple of days rest I decided I would return back to work, which was fine I’m a man and I can take it (with the help of Nurofen and Sudafed sinus tablets, which btw are epic). All was going well until Sunday when I was struck down with killer monkey pains in my face, it felt like an Elephant pounding my head from inside and no amount of tablets helped. Turns out my Sinus’s had become infected so I am not on a course of Antibiotics, lame!

Anyway that’s enough personal shit about me.

The last day or so we had asked for your questions through different media outlets (MySpace, twitter etc…) and here are they selected few we chose…

Simon Frane:

Q: Hi guys, thanks for taking the time to do this. I love you guys and I’m a builder and was just wondering what is your favourite hammer?

 A: Well mine is the Stanley, big strong and robust. I think Dave’s is the sandwich though.

 Devon314:

Q: What venue in all the world do you hope to play in and which bands will play there with you?

 A: Probably Wembley for Al, his supporting band would be Oasis fo sure, with maybe Blur on first? Mine would be Madison Sq Garden supported by hmmm…Really don’t know possibly John Mayer or DMB. Tom would be the Same as Al and Dave would be Finchley carnival supporting by Chaz n Dave.

Alice Cheshire:

Q: I’m quite a large girl, (23 stone) but I love rocking away to your music in my well worn chair. I really think that the Big Tree is a stud, would he like to come over one night?

A: PAH…NO!

Michelle Pallet:

Q: Hi Guys, I just wondered if you ever though about maybe making a cool spin off band? I enjoyed Chav England and also think John Terry is a Cu…

 A: Thanks Michelle, funny you should mention it but check out chineseopera.thefaults.co.uk (Don’t tell Tom I have sent you there though)

Ashley Coles bit on the side:

Q: I have an itchy red rash on my wanny

A: Not surprised.

Right that was about it for questions but the others were pretty lame no offence if yours wasn’t answered but I don’t think, “who is your favourite artist ever” counts as a valid question…BORING!

More rehearsals last night and all this is leading up to our gig tomorrow night (Friday 19.03.2010) at the Barfly in Camden, if you want to come the first person to send us an email with “Men who love mushrooms need much room to love mushroom soup” in the subject title will get a free ticket on the Captain and maybe their first drink on Tommy Fault!?

CHARITY WATCH:

So Sport Relief is coming up and with Eddie Izzard running shit loads of marathons over the course of 7/8 weeks and obviously The Big Tree being the charitable guy he is decided he would also run… up and down his driveway 3 or 4 times. For a massive tree this is no mean feet, especially when he will be attempting to eat a doughnut without licking his lips on each run. Harder than that cross-dressing tranny Izzard I think you’ll agree.

Not too much else to say to be honest, things move fast in life remember that.

Peace x
