Happy Mardi Gras y'all! (Part 2)

On arrival we became acutely aware of the fact that our paper bags wouldn’t quite cut the mustard in South Louisiana, and rightly so. After a few bemused looks we were promptly kicked out! We want to send all our happiest Mardi Gras wishes to y’all and especially to all our good friends we made in Cajun country, South Louisiana, we miss you all dearly. x Ned/Genie/Billy/G

Happy Mardi Gras y'all!

Happy Mardi Gras y’all. Brings back a lot of happy memories for us from our incredible time out in South Louisiana. Seeing as it’s Mardi Gras n’ all we thought we’d show y’all our poor attempts to fit in during “Country Mardi Gras”. The “Courir de Mardi Gras” (Mardi Gras Run) as it’s known is a special rural event in Southern Louisiana...

Repainting part 4...

I’m nearly done now I think. I added elephants, some penny farthings (the old school bikes), popped in some hummingbirds and strange foliage and finished it with a picture of cricketing legend W.G. Grace…

Repainting part 2...

So far all it looks like I’ve done is paint a chicken onto my guitar…well, I suppose there aren’t many people with “fowl adorned” guitars.

Repainting my guitar...

I’ve decided to dust off the cobwebs on my old Epiphone SG and give it one heck of a pimp out. Gonna put in a Humbucker and a P90 and try repainting the body. Quite a risky proposition but I’ll make it up as I go along and see how it goes. Here it is, sanded and undercoated, ready for Rolf Harris’ magic to infuse my paint brush.

New Studio!

We’ve just acquired a new studio space up in Tottenham, it’s basically a crack-den at the moment but with several hundred licks of paint and a home built studio it’s going to be Scoundrels HQ, where we record in an old-skool, no frills kind of way. We’re taking inspiration from Daptone Records in Bushwick, New York where Amy Winehouse recorded...

Christmas Greetings y'all...

What better way to bring in the Christmas cheer than to head back on tour with The Kooks for their last remaining UK dates. Thankyou Birmingham, Leeds, Portsmouth and London for being so awesome to four scruffy, young lads from the south. We had a blast and are now fully prepped for a hit of mince pies, mulled wine and drunken renditions of “Silent Night”. We already can’t wait...

Back from our east coast trip to the US...

Yesterday we Scoundrels arrived back from a two week trip to the states, and my word what a trip it was. We had an incredible time, spent time recording our EP, played a few gigs and performed a live radio session for CBS in Howard Stern’s old studio. The CMJ Festival gigs were amazing, two showcases, one at the incredible Brooklyn Bowl for The Orchard and the other at Santos Party House...

Lyrics to "Loud n' Proud"

I was born in the city, I sported teeth that never fit my mouth, Havin’ warts n’ titties meant my confidence was headed south. And you start at the bottom when your heart is in the sound, ‘Cos noone ever listens, They’re just following the crowd. So you play it loud, Play it loud and then you play it proud, ‘Cos when you play it loud you push the scenesters from the...

Lyrics to "Sniff It Up"

When your confidence falters and you resort to the wrap, Would you share with other fools your confident chat? So sniff it up, sniff it up, sniff it up, Sniff it up good, sniff it up good… When your confidence falters, you should resort to the rock, You’re in need of other tools to get that confidence unlocked, So sniff it up, sniff it up, sniff it up, Sniff it up good… ...

Touring with Kill It Kid

With four dates to go and nine already behind us I write this with a heavy heart. Touring with KIK has been a truly awesome experience and one hopefully that will happen again in the not too distant future. Absolutely swell human beings each and every single one of them and one heck of a band. From the southern metropolis of London to the orange-hued and arctic-winded heights of Aberdeen the...
