matthew here. got back to nyc a few hours ago, played our final show in london at the barfly, thanks to everyone that came out to wish us off.

a few hours before the show, we had just arrived at the barfly in camden, we all piled out of the bus which was parked up the street from the venue. we all scattered to the internet cafe to check this and that (since we were early)

on my return to the van, i found david and james L standing outside, "we've got some bad news" long story short, in the 30 or so minutes we left the van, some bastards broke the lock, climbed in, and made off with my brand new laptop (containing every single photograph from the tour, aswell as the levy website hard files) my digital camera plus a brand new ipod, not to mention every guitar pedal i use, and my cables...and thats just my stuff, nigel our tour manager lost his laptop, james b lost of backpack with passport and all (luckly with his boyish goodlooks he scammed his way back into the country with out it) lucky for us, they only took what they could carry leaving behind our guitars and large bags.

so, if you meet someone with a new laptop that happens to have a huge levy logo as a backround, yeah. fuck.

aside from that, the tour was a fucking blast. the last show in brighton was amazing, sold out nice large crowd, maccabee love, t-shirt trading between bands, stayed up all night with hugo, rob & crew wandering the streets of brighton trying not to get arrested. im gonna miss those boys, they have an open invite to visit anytime.

ah so thats all for now, bowery show coming up with guillimots i think thats how they spell it.

much love,
matthew
