It's one of the B-sides from the New Flesh single.

Here's a list of places you can get it.

i dunno, i think he was just having a bit of a laugh, at one point he just passed his guitar to a roadie and took to the front of the stage with the mic, and after the same roadie fixed his stand, ginger deliberately knocked it over and smirked at him. it was his birthday, wouldn't surprise me if he'd had a drink or two beforehand and was just having a bit of a muck around. didn't take away from the gig though, was an amazing show!

Aye I agree the prices or the hoodies may be a tad steep but in my experience its the merch that the band makes the most money off on the tour so I cant really blame them for maybe pushing the envelope a bit seeing as the money will be going back to the band members through, I'm guessing so don't quote me, Round Records. I see it like one of those perpetual motion machines, the more money the get the more stuff they can afford to do that the fans will want so then they go out and buy that which in turn funds the next load of stuff......................'ang on I've lost meself here, anyone else know what I'm talking about? I think the suns getting to me.

The loyalties were great, I'll definatly be listening to more of their stuff.

Damone were quite good but I didn't like Wolfsbane much...not "my cup of tea"!

The Wildhearts were brilliant

As everyone else has said, really varied set and despite a few probs with sound and equiptment the band seemed to remain in good spirits.

I was suprised Ginger didnt lose his rag with the mic to be honest, he doesnt normally tolerate "non-behaving-equiptment" very well and he did seem to be getting pissed off every now and again.

From where I was stood he seemed to have a bruise around his neck and a cut under his eye....could've been seeing things though :lol:

Nope. They had 'a few' mediums for the destroy all monsters and the smiley bones shirt I was told by the nice lady selling the shirts. Shame, coz I really wanted the 'ramones' style one in small or at a push medium

Well to be fair all the designs look a bit boring to me, they need to get a better designer.
