About Me

Hello Everyone!
Or more like...
Hello Everyone That Has The Odd Peak At This Page!
Times have changed and the night held in the Zanzibar known has Valhalla is coming to a end...next month.
So fucking go to it.
CUP graced/fell on/fell off the stage of Valhalla a good few times and most of the time we played this wonderful night they were (mainly) our best performances. The feeling, the atomos, the people involved and the people that went all added to this being one of the greatest club nights a band could play. Thankfully this is not the end of The Laze, this a rebirth, and from this dead old bird a new fucking bigger, meaner, bosserarer-mad-bastard of a Phoenix spitting spunk with flames coming of it and all down the side will emerge, think Harry Potter but like, with more, a lot more, sex appeal.
Now! The line up.
INDICA RITUAL, THE SCCC, THE LAZE, THE HOT MELTS, ARTHUR SHELTON JONES & FRIENDS, SIR JOHN MANDEVILLE.

GO!!! GET TO THE CHOPPER! or GO!!! GET TO....THE....ZANZIBAR! YEH! CAN STRIPE PEASE?
So, anyway, as a gift to the gods of Valhalla, i'm gonna chuck a few tracks up from our last (decent) performance at Valhalla, which was september 2006. And the traaaacks are....
