Doorways Lead To Other Doorways,

About Me

Lets Start the Revolution.Think politics, wear your fashionable outfits, blag guest lists, and complain about overpriced drinks and promoters ripping us off. Take everyone for who they are. Abolish elitism, love music. Lets rise from the ashes of this dying scene with fresh ideas and new outlooks. Ask more from your bands, trust your friends, forgive your enemies, welcome others, start a new party.Be free like they were in the 60s and demand change. Break the rules like they did in the 70s and make something new. Be positive and expressive like they were in the 80s. Fuck the 90s, lets change our time. Everyone must be equal, without fans there would be no bands. Its not who you are but where youre at. Sing from your heart, Love, death, war and peace. Be scared about the future because you are all responsible for it.Remember the past but dont dwell on it. Lets make the right people feature in our history. Stand up against wars and be careful whom we put in power. Overthrow the old you messed up.Stand up to your boss he needs you more than you need him. Our numbers can make change as we pride ourselves on free democracy. Beautiful girls become beautiful people. Handsome boys use your brains. Learn to help othersthere is plenty for everybody. Stick up for yourselves... dont be exploited. Dont be styled, call out for more. The papers are lying to you; your television only lets you see what they want you to. You go out and find the truth. A band with no deal cannot be controlled. Let music be our weapon to win this.Come join the glamour chase, you are all invited....PRESS: Feature/interview in TESCODISCO MAGAZINE http://www.tescodisco.co.uk/pdf/issue3.pdfTIME OUT FEBRUARY 2007 ISSUE No. 1 on London's Happening Hitlist The Affectionate Punch - Film-obsessed five-piece from Leeds, a big noise on the happenings circuit and regulars at TESCODISCO.
