About Me

All I can see for miles around is a chimpanzee:
[18/03/08] The EP is out now! Click here to grab yourself a copy. Thanks to all who packed out the Soul Cellar on Friday for the launch - we had fun, hope you did too!
[08/03/08] Paul and Mike are being interviewed on Surge Radio tomorrow evening. Listen in from 8:00pm (it’s online here or on 1287am if you can get it).
[03/03/08] Thanks once again to Xan for playing Buzz Buzz on Original last night. He also plugged our gig...
Tell your friends. Tell your friends to tell their friends, etc etc. It will be a great night and the EP will, of course, be available!
[25/02/08] Thanks to Xan Phillips on Original 106 for playing us last night. And thanks to you if you came to find us!
[05/02/08] The new EP is coming. It’s called Psychedelicatessen (geddit?) and we’re unleashing it on the internet on 17th March. There is also a launch gig happening at the Soul Cellar (see up there^) and it’s gonna be immense. That’s on 14th March, and there’ll be limited edition CDs of the record available there. Sweet.
[27/01/08] Thanks to all who tuned in to hear us on Surge Radio tonight! Glad you enjoyed us enough to look for us here. Bad For You is going up momentarily, and look out for us on future shows as we shall be honouring the request to send more material, as yet unheard by anyone!
[05/01/08] We are making a new EP, and it is amazing. 3 studio tracks, 3 live tracks. We’ll be releasing it as a download within the next two months... watch this space.
[09/07/07] Thanks to all who came and saw rugged at Park100. We had such a good time! Photos up soon hopefully.
[04/04] Come see Rugged play live!! Gigs are happening this friday (6th) at the hub in Eastleigh, [message us for info] and at the soul cellar in soton on 27th April (see above poster). Please come along and hear the new material which is ridiculous, buy the record and have a great time!!
[19/03] The album is out today! Head over to resident alien now to grab your copy!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the soul police:
