Well half of your fave Icey folks were featured in session tonight on Dune FM (which is somewhere near the sea).  Janie and Gary spent 2 hours being interviewed, playing some hot offa the press new recordings and doing some acousticy stuff. Didn’t hear the last hour as a chinese was beckoning but for the first hour they did sterling service chatting about biology (debating whether there are opposites of the same sex in Alton Towers) and feminine wiles (not giving ages away). There was also a hint of menace in the air after an anonymous texter contacted the show to ask how the band, what with them all looking dead old, like over 50, got on with the younger bands on the scene. Could have done with a vid as it all sounded a tad tasty! 

Gliding smoothly between subjects we was on the goggle-box last week. Not on the right day, but hey! Look into My Eyes (or as we call it LIME) featured with the Timmy Cheesecake produced vid. Great piece of direction, we all looked totally disinterested! The lip synching’s good though :-)

Looking back at earlier blogs there be a new gig to mention - next friday (29th) at the Factory in Manchester. Without giving ages away - and anyway he had a very misspent youth and is deffo and by far and away the 3rd youngest of our merry troupe - our horrible bass player remembers the original factory (aka the Russell or the PSV - possibly one out on Oldham Road but he was probably just too young and easily inebriated to remember the name of everywhere he misspent his youth).

Coming back to this weeks perverted push for reality your fave band have decided to launch a competition. There are two specific strands: 

1. Do you know where Timmy Cheesecake has gotten to

2. Do you like kidney soup

3. Do you want to make a vid to accompany Ice at gigs

Counting was never my strong point or perhaps one of the above ain’t particularly specific. We’ll leave that to your infinitely better judgement. Anyway, to enter simply contact our forum and leave a question for the band using one of the above headings. If you are interested in #3 then we will drop you a song, you make a vid (we can even star in it provided you can distract the RRTB) and then we project it during live performances. Remember you gotta be in it to win it. If you are interested in #2 then you’re sick man!

I’ll leave you with a suggestion for your personal mantra for the week: be Ice or be hot!
