We’re probably going to start asking you to pay us for things in the next few months – I hope the fact that we did a good show next to a sport-filled big screen to four nice people in St. Louis suggests that we’re the kind of band you’ll be willing to support when we do.

Then come to the Monarch to heckle me in an informed manner:

Oh and if you’re voting today, enjoy that, unless you’re in London – in which case do whatever it is you feel you have to through gritted teeth then go home and have a wash.

If you’re in Manchester, you might want to have a read of the Pirate Party’s election materials, which are here:

Look, We’re In A Double Dip Recession. Which is bad news for everybody – luckily we released a novelty advert single a little while ago that seems entirely appropriate for listening to in order that the occasion be properly marked. (It would also be really good on one of those VT bits in the news, oh ye PRS paying gatekeeper-y media fuckers, INCIDENTALLY)

Anyway, here’s the video:


Here’s a preview of the cool, new, so-2012-it-might-as-well-be-a-dumb-TV-hour-about-mayan-prophecies, slink-wist reboot of the song that’s on the reissued B-Side:



And
HERE IS WHERE YOU CAN BUY IT

You know, with all that money that you don’t have because of the double dip recession. Er…

We gave up acoustic instruments for lent, and can’t remember where we put them, so we are going to be amazing, play new songs loudly and generally melt everyone’s faces off.

I will probably look like this:

ALSO. The New Royal Family are playing and not only are they much much better than the old royal family, they’re so amazing that they don’t even exist anymore. Watch this video and then make sure you arrive early.

Also playing are The Fanclub about whom I Know nothing except that if they don’t have a fanclub called ‘The Band’ then they are missing a trick.

Written and illustrated by Simon, the first book we’re putting out is called Felix The Fieldmouse and is about a mouse who is scared of Bonfire Night. If you have a child, know a child, are a child, are childish, are Billy Childish or are just a connoisseur of stuff that rules, then you WANT a copy.

Go to the new website at http://www.flopsybunney.com and have a click around (click on the bunny especially) to find books, audiobooks, T Shirts and Julia’s bunney-based craft store selling beautiful necklaces and the like.

The second book is called Flopsy Bunney and His Friends – it is altogether weirder and will be available to purchase very soon. at least one of the pages looks like this:

How lucky are you? Throughout most of history, people who wanted to buy an amazing children’s book had to make do with Bubonic plague and the Feudal system. SO JUST YOU THINK ABOUT THAT.

From IN PROGRESS things.

So I can’t seen any reason at all why everyone in england can’t make it to this tomorrow and sunday:

US, Art Brut, Misty’s Big Adventure, Keith TOTP, Abdoujaparov, Icepops For Breakfast for hardly any money. Come on down/up/sideways yeah?

We’ve also been using This Is My Jam because we are cool as fuck hipsters. Follow us! Be embrassed by our anachronistic and contrary taste in musics! Yeah!
Right now we’re pimping Tommy James & The Shondells and Bon Jovi.

Other people who are/have been in the band are too good for it, apparently (and also, there’s only so many times you can post Hanson so it has limited appeal) LOLJK

While we’re at it, look at this picture:

It is things I have been doing and THAT IS ALL I AM WILLING TO SAY.

Until March 19th – Buy £50 worth of pure distilled awesome from the new, ever-expanding range of Indelicates Branded Merchandise, use the coupon code SPRING2012 and get £10 off. And don’t just buy the old designs – I spent much longer on the new ones so they are much better value.

We’re going to try a new thing with T-Shirts – We have far more designs than we have capital to invest in upfront T-Shirt Manufacture so we’re going to be regularly updating our new spreadshirt shop.

It’s a print on demand thing -like cafepress – but I think we’ve managed to get costs down far enough that instead of cafepress’s silly prices (especially with postage) you’ll end up paying £20 (P&P included) for a high quality Standard T-Shirt featuring any of the many, many designs we’re making available.

Some budget items will come in cheaper (the Tesco Value style one from a few years back for example) and some – skinny fits, organic cotton etc – will be a little more. We’ve taken the opportunity to include some old T-Shirt Designs that we’ve long sold out of – but if there are any Indelicates designs that you want on a shirt that we haven’t uploaded please contact us and ask.

Save for some sterling work on the dropshadows by Sad Gnome Records, we’ve always done every pixel of our artwork ourselves so anything you might want is very likely to be on one of our hard-drives somewhere. Ideas for artwork that doesn’t exist but that just should? Let us know and we’ll get bespoke on your pampered, lovable asses.

We’ve been working hard on the designs, and all sales are massively welcome as we scrabble around trying to get the next record made – so please have a look and see if there’s anything you fancy.

We love you – in a direct and physically overbearing way.
XX.
