On this day 35 years ago we played our 1st gig, supporting Squarepusher's band (they wouldn't let us borrow their amps). No photos survive, so here's the handpainted bootleg of our 6-minute set. Thanks to @jonathangibbs.bsky.social for putting us on!

We ❤️ 'zines & loved the thoughtful but heartfelt writing in issue #1 of "In The April Sun". Issue #2 has a stellar cast - supernovae like Assistant, Lovejoy, Hazelene, Goodbye Wudaokou, Shopfires, Mt. Misery... do buy it. We're also v excited as it's the 1st fanzine since 1990 to feature: us! 🌈

Well. Windmill Records are BACK and with a bucket list item - a pristine four-track 10" from Christine's Cat! Yes, it features the hit 😁 The campaign for a flexidisc release of the missing 5th song starts here..

Us on this day, 35 years ago. A Spanish fanzine had asked for a band pic so we used school non-uniform day to do our only ever band photo session, in and around Chelmsford's Central Park... Few shots survive, but this one's a favourite 📷: @mattrowson.bsky.social

Sincere shoutout to @goodbyewudaokou.bsky.social for championing us - and including our ramshackle wares on this wonderful playlist
