Ground Breaking

Here at Irk The River HQ (or Dick Head Qtr for short) we always like to break new ground. Sometimes that ground is worldwide smash hit type ground and sometimes it's just the stinking ground below our feet. Today we broke the latter by agreeing TWO live shows in ONE week. Our gig hit rate has been averaging around the three a year mark so this news has given us all a nose bleed. I don't quite know how this happened but it has. So deal with it. We are.

We play the same set twice (again) at Urmston Fiesta; an outdoor shindig in Manchester's most boring suburb on the 26th June (on at midday). We follow that with an excursion to Withington's Fuel (Vegetarian Cafe) Bar, which as a (vegetarian Cafe) Bar is still twice as exciting as the whole suburb of Urmston, and the place doesn't even contain any meat.

What a beautiful metaphor for our musical career thus far - all boring suburbs and vegetarian cafe bars...

P.S.
Don't ask about Chorley. We don't talk about that no more. No. No we don't,
