Contagious Ignorance

The Band of the Eye is one of those bluffers that contradicts itself, and then pretends that it never said the other thing in the first place.  How else could we turn up here all news and sunshine saying our album is called Contagious Ignorance, all the while trying to sweep the previously announced title of Maximum Fisting under the rug without you noticing?  At least let us explain ourselves before you go off to listen to Miley Cyrus instead:

♥ Maximum Fisting gave off vibes that at best said 'comedy rock', and at worst put us in the company of Limp Bizkit, which is not a room we want to be in, all due respect to Fred Durst (which, to specify, is none).

♥ It was under doubt that DJ's could say Maximum Fisting and retain their jobs.

There you are.  Contagious Ignorance will be available to listeners outside the EU in the first week of August.  Here is the cover art:

Thanks to our friends at Poison Tree Records for sorting this out.  Buy their stuff!  Especially our album.  With the artwork the album is completely finished at last.  It's been a long process.  Thanks to those who listened at various stages and offered advice of diverse nature and usefulness.

Continuing the titular theme - stop giggling, you - the imminent Red Square Records compilation has been given the name Sounds for a Jilted Generation.  As well as being called virtually the same thing as a Prodigy album, this selection will include our song 'Why You Are so Awful'.  Next up: 

BCFM Radio Interview, Sunday, 5 July at 10PM (GMT): DJ Stashy Jon has been a kind supporter and will be indulging our rambling anecdotes, our unwholesome tastes in music, and playing any songs off our album that don't have naughty words in them.  Repeated on Monday at 10AM.  Tune in at 93.2FM in the Bristol area, or fiddle with your computer's antennae until they get to http://bcfm.org.uk/ to listen online.

Live shows:

Thursday, 30 July: Die Young, Stay Pretty night at The Jazz Club in Reading.  It's free in before 9.30 and £3 thereafter.  Named after a Blondie song.  It'll be our first trip to Reading.

Tuesday, 11 August: One World Festival in Bath.  It'll be our first festival.  All proceeds are for charity.

Wednesday, 12 August: flux=rad night at 12 Bar in London.  Named after a Pavement song and organised by our friends King of Spain.  Buy their album.  Unless you only have enough money to buy ours.
