Bridesmaids is not as good as everyone says it is.. and for folks who are “The IT Crowd” fans, be aware that Roy is in it, and it is practically impossible to disassociate character A from character B.

BUT firstly:

- RIP JZE Paperstaat, Essen: Rico 17 Stitches completely outdid himself this past weekend by putting on, what can only be described as, the biggest and best send off a venue has ever seen. Shipping in sand, erecting an outdoor stage and somehow bringing sunshine to the tiny town of Essen, the JZE was turned into the biggest party the city has ever seen. Highlights include No Redeeming Social Value playing to a crowd of people in animal costumes, Lifeless, the boys from By My Hands and bad german rock clubs. Bye Bye JZE.. good times were always had there! Which leads me to:

- Brotherhood festival tickets are now onsale in the UK.. so if you want to be witness to Shattered Realms 10th anniversary European show, Wisdom in Chains, Xibalba and a host of other amazing bands over a weekend in Essen, Germany, please dally on down to www.londoncalling.cjb.net to read up on how to purchase tickets now!

- Summer and loadsa bands coming over.. H2O, New Found Glory (now that merchgate is over, nothing but love for them again!), Social Distortion, Alpha Omega plus more.. Summer officially kicks off next week with Set Your Goals at the Underworld tonight!

- Descendents rescheduling the London shows- After waiting 14 years to see them again, the band played the most disappointing set at the end of last month (please read the post on my tumblr regarding the show: http://www.mayhemandmore.tumblr.com) an uproar ensued, with fans travelling from all over the world to attend the shows. The band have done the right thing and rescheduled the cancelled show and last week, an email was sent out to attendees of the first show stating that should they want to attend the rescheduled date at Brixton Academy on the 24th August, they were to reply and indicate that they are interested. If you have tickets for either shows, please go and check your emails now.
