Unexpectedly, Seratone are playing at the East Slope Bar at Sussex University, this Sunday. It's Alvaro from Steal Back Your Life's birthday, so expect the night to run with only the finest champagne... :) Of course, Steal Back Your Life themselves will be playing. I shouldn't need to tell you that you need to see this band :) Also playing are the excellent Colourmap, who we played with back

It's all change in the Seratone camp. Not content with succesfully turning Ed into a fruitful cog in the Seratone rock crunching machine, Seratone is looking for a new bass player. The search continues... any takers? The all-new Seratone gets its first public airing on Tuesday October 26th, at the Pav Tav. It's a Radio One gig of some sort, apparently - it should be a good one. So long, y'all.

Back in June, we played the Charlbury Riverside Festival. Sam's guitar broke, and I sang flat the whole way through... but hey, we had fun, below the giant plastic flowers... Why am I telling you this? Because the live DVD of the event is out, for only £5 + £1.50 p&p, from Jack Fruit Stores: http://www.jackfruitstores.co.uk/ As well as featuring "Sreatone" (our amazingly faithful

So we're now a four-piece. It was a seriously tough choice - not an easy thing to do... at all. But - we've made the decision... ...ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Seratone's new guitar-grinding demon... Mr. Ed Harvard. This is how Ed introduced himself to the band...

Sam's just pointed me at some photos from the Charlbury Festival we played back in June... They look all, y'know, professional, like. Thanks, "Miles" at OxfordBands.com, whoever you are... You can add comments to the photos, as well, so... get creative ;)

It's been a while. How are you all doing? We've got a demo review in August's Brighton Source - they say: It's still open season for big American rock riffs and disillusioned frontment singing about the confusion of living in a democracy where governments tell you what to do (no, that isn't how they're supposed to work). There are ideas here to get worked up about: The Original White Knuckle

So the football was good on Sunday, except for Sam breaking his elbow, of course. Thanks to Rich, t'other Rich, Becky and Darren for augmenting the Seratone team into some kind of baby-eating football-playing monstrous fourteen-legged troll-thing. Vicky took some photos, so when they're developed, we'll get them up on the site. It's been two days now since we played, and I'm still walking like

Tonight's gig at the Pressure Point has been cancelled. Yesterday at the Pressure Point inter-band football tournament up in Falmer, Sam took a dive on the astroturf, and didn't get up for a little while - his arm was quite sore, apparently. Sympathetically, and with care and affection, we told him to get his f'kin lazy arse back up and get on with the sodding game. Sam's trip to casualty this

Back in May, J said that the Cable Club were organising some kind of inter-band football tournament thing. Ha, we said. None of us can play football! Well, said J, you've got until July to learn. The Cable Club say: Cable Club's good friends Emphyrian have helped to secure two five-a-side pitches for Sunday 11th July up at the Falmer Uni Campus. You will be very pleased to note that there

We're not playing the Hobgoblin this Saturday - because we're playing the Pressure Point on the 12th, we've got to clear gigs for a chunk of time around this. Sorry for the late notice... Thanks again to everyone who's been coming to see us over the last month. We've really appreciated your support. The Pressure Point on the 12th will be the last for a little while, to let us get some new

So we're playing The Chichester this Saturday, with math-rock gods The Illuminati. We went to see them a few weeks ago at the Concorde, with their new line-up, and... well, it's the stuff of legends ;)

The full line-up for the year's Charlbury Festival is up. Headlining are Dive Dive, who used to be called Dustball. Before them, seven other bands, including... well, us! Last year, 5,000 people came along to watch... there are photos on Nunununa's site. I've also dredged up some reviews of festivals past (2002, 1999). Don't know about you, but I'm stoked.

Next Wednesday evening, we've got a gig at Gossips in Soho; should be a good one! We're sorting out a car-share to get people down to Gossips in Soho next Wednesday. If you're either interested in driving, or want to get a lift off someone who is, send me a mail: joe@seratone.co.uk and we'll try and match passengers with drivers. We'll pay the petrol for anyone who offers to drive down there

Just after I print a load of flyers with all our seven (seven!) June dates on, J goes and books us an eighth. The man is a gig-booking machine. Come to think of it, that would explain his metal kidney... So the gig's at the Brixton Telegraph, ten minutes walk up the hill from Brixton tube. There are directions and a map on the Flash Telegraph site, under the CONTACT tab. It's on Sunday 6th

So here are the bands playing the Cable Club at the Pressure Point on Monday 12th July: NECTAR INTERNATIONAL SERATONE FUJI HEAVY The web tells me that Nectar International and Fuji Heavy are purveyors of fine quality surgical, dental, manicure and pedicure instruments along with tools, knives and swords, and one of Japan's largest manufacturers of transportation equipment respectively.

Those lovely Steal Back Your Life people have got us a slot playing with them tomorrow (Sunday 23rd May), at Sussex University's East Slope Bar. You can there from Brighton on the number 25 bus, or by train. East Slope bar is marked on this map. Rock on.

What a friggin night. A mahoosive sorry to everyone who turned up Thursday night to see us at the Hobgoblin, only to see... well, nothing, as the gig got pulled only two songs in to Steal Back Your Life's set. And thanks again to SBYL, who filled in for Stash at the very, very last minute, and then ended up only getting to play for about five minutes before the P.A. exploded. And

And we're playing again in London, on Wednesday 2nd June. Nestling in the heart of Soho is Gossips, Dean Street. Promotors The Talent Scout try bands out there, before putting them on at Sound in Leicester Square. It's one of those "industry"-type things. So... once again, we need your help. If we make a good impression, we'll get to play Leicester Square, and from there... the world! Mars!

We've got our first London gig coming up... next week! It's Wednesday 5th May, at The Pleasure Unit in Bethnal Green. It's a Don't Forget Yer Bass Amp! night.
