We went on this tour as the support band for Tim Burgess and the Anytime Minutes.<br />
<br />
Our friend and super TM (that's touring lingo for Tour Manager) Jake picked us up at 5 30 in the morning in Leytonstone where some of us live and we travelled through to Paris on the Eurostar. I am fond of the way that you can feel the van move and yet you look out your window and see no movement - because you are sat inside a van inside a train carriage.<br />
<br />
We played La Fleche d'Or in Paris, which we have played a few times before. If you have never been there, its an old railway station with a train track running underneath and a sort of David Lynch interior. All the windows in the back room have been smashed up by kids throwing stones up from the train tracks. We met a great couple who told us they used Hatcham Social as part of their wooing rituals. Good work.<br />
<br />
Some Photos:<a href="http://www.soundofviolence.net/multimedia/photos/1146/10500/hatcham_social_paris_fleche_d_or_18_05_2013.html"> Sound Of Violence</a><br />
<br />
We also got a really great review in Paris, but cannot find it right now so will post later...<br />
<br />
Here it is: <a href="http://www.streetgeneration.fr/concerts/84650/la-pop-indie-de-hatcham-social-rechauffe-le-climat-parisien-photos/">Hatcham reviewd in Paris and all that</a> <br />
<br />
Next we traveled into Germany and Austria and at some point through Czech republic....as far I remember...we slept a night in a hotel in Prague and when we crossed into the border...it was like entering some strange land of brothels and casinos and restaurants with Dragons on top - need to find out the name of that town it was pretty unusual. Oh yeah and before that we got held up by the police for an our while they looked at the van with torches and asked for 40 euros...<br />
<br />
We had an amazing show in Munich and the sound was so good there - we must play that venue again. Vienna was cool but thunder and lightning heavy heavy.<br />
<br />
The final date was in Hamburg and an incredible building, a big WW2 concrete Bunker. Sound man there was a great guy, loved his underground music and analogue gear. Met some guy who said he was putting us in paper the next day.<br />
<br />
At the end we came back to London on a super long 15 hour last day journey(!)<br />
<br />
We sold lots of merch which was great, so thanks everyone, hope to come back out soon!<br />

<span style="color: white;">Went to see Faris Badwan (of The Horrors...) new exhibition.
Really great. Particular favourites being a drawing of ‘The World In Colour’ (see it small below) - think thats what the name was (if you go you can check for us). He has lots of intricate drawings from his sketchbooks and some original paintings and drawings on 'German Paper'... Go and delve into his world, down at the Strand Gallery...

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span></span></span>
<i><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;">Have been thinking about how working on computers making music effects the outcomes, how it creates space in a different way from Tape or other more limited/enclosed recording mediums. Here are some thoughts:
</span></span></span></i><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;">Computers work upon a binary system of 0’s and 1’s, on and off commands. Written into complex languages that enable multiples upon multiples of commands to build large levels and seemingly linear spaces. Although with the complexities and possibilities within modern computers, a fact that they seem as part of every process as a hand or a knife, the basis of using computers does seem to fall back into On or Off.</span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;">Let me explain what I mean and how it seems, to me, to effect the process and product of music. To start with think about when we listen to Brigette Fontaine ‘Coma a la Radio’. When we listen to a piece like this we know it was recorded onto a tape, tape uses a linear process of recording information and works pretty much by holding memory shapes in rust of voltages representing sounds, these are continuous and limited in the tape length. It is always recording something, or at least always has something on it, the tape exists whether you record or not, so you can be sitting with record on and then bring in your sounds and the sound of you not playing was also being recorded. It appears that with computer recording, although in essence this is possible (to work with computer DAWs -Digital Audio Workstations- as if ‘to tape’) it lends itself to work in a different manner - after all there is no track limit or start or end of the ‘tape’. So unless you strictly emulate the approach of tape based recording you end up recording (or editing) in and out of points of tracks. This is all fairly obvious to you I expect - yes its a computer, yes they are not linear in a ‘real’ sense. </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;">It creates a music of On and Off points. Listen to Nicki Minaj for a perfect example of how this can be felt very audibly. It leads us to make music where things start and stop in very definite ways, where we know EXACTLY when something is starting and when the space it inhabits ‘disappears’ from the whole world of the song/track/whatever.</span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;">Obviously there are elements of the visual reliance that is very heavy, now that we can zoom in on any wave-form or bar-count and cut/edit/syncronise to our hearts content but I don’t want to go into that.</span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span></span></span><i><b><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;">Little bubbles of non-existent realities emerge, composed out of numbers, into thin air and then, pop, pop, they are gone and the space never existed. </span></span></span></b></i><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;">I am not interested in whether this is better or worse, only that I find it worthy to think about when creating music, the way that the process can dictate so much and also how regimented you can become (which may be perfect for you) by sticking to a computer recording process. It is a very much On and Off soundscape.</span></span></span><br />

What makes a song meaningful?
To live your life so as to experience something less ordinary or to give us the space to understand the road less trodden and muddied? To live your life on the edge of knowing what you are doing. Letting the gods roll you around in fates gardens. Do these pills sharpen our pencils and sight?
We dive into ourselves and those we know in a quest for something deeper than the surface rubble. In a need for more than the usual cheap tricks and alliterations. For some truth that sets the soul alight that burns the crystals of hope and deep sensitivity.
Is it just a case of something to catch the eye, but then why bother?

If you have ever stayed in a Motel in Texas you will know how cool it is, like a road movie life moment. We have a pool but its not really hot enough to use in the morning and we are out all day mostly. Finn and David are asleep, sleeping off a day of light beer, free cocktails and beer cans the size of a small mans head. Yesterday we managed to get down to the Lexington showcase and catch a bit of Ringo Deathstar, miss the Jesus and Mary Chain show (now there was a queue!very very disappointed), miss the Cold Specks show we hoped to see (kind of clashed with an interview we were doing) and walk around a lot. (yes we will do better today!) We also spent a large amount of time on buses. One of the best things we did was a show at a cool little cycle shop up the other end of town called Waterloo Cycles. Swell guy, Michael, who owns Waterloo Cycles has a large collection of REM T-shirts. Riley has taken about a million photos and we will post some of the best soon. On day 1 we met the legend that is Nardwuar (<a href="http://www.nardwuar.com">www.nardwuar.com</a>) and we are going to try and catch his show with Andrew WK. The best thing about Austin is the green and space, wooden houses and friendly locals, the worst is the only food seems to be drive in fast food and getting around can take a LONG time. Its Finns birthday today so I guess this is a pretty cool place to find a cake...
