17/12/05

Don't think for a minute that the filthy fountain is spluttering. We're just walking in a big circle around you waiting to pounce. There's some new links and some new news and some some.

24/09/05

Wooh-haaa. Babies and sandwiches couldn't keep us quiet for long. We have a next gig again. It's going to be monumental.

14/05/05

Raay! Out pops Tomasina. Remember her name - she's destined to become the first victorious, multi-instrumentalist, global socialist-revolutionary leader - probably anyway.

01/05/05

I have a gland as raw and restless as a baby rat pulsing in my neck. Illness tends to shadow you through periods of intense activity and then waits for you to give yourself a break and a pat on the back before it gushes into your tubes and establishes its hot gooey horrors in your knackered and defenceless interior. What a fucking fucker. Spending the bank holiday weekend in my innocent pipes. There's new news and gig news which is no gig news.

16/04/05

Jesus, like - LET'S MILK THE KIDS!!!! Fuck the bands and MILK THE KIDS!!!! 500 under 18 yr olds paying at least a fiver to get in and not a fucking bean for the bands. "WE HAVE NO BUDGET FOR THIS!" Absolutely fucking disgusting. I've updated the news and the gig page and my faith in humanity.

14/04/05

All I've done is updated the gig page.

04/04/05

Some gig accuracy issues attended to and some flyers to make things more colourful/slower for people visiting the gig page.

28/03/05

Some shuffling around of album pages has occurred fucking hell i've just rubbed pepper in my eye -freshly ground black pepper perspiring its infernal oils all over the fucking place including onto my fucking finger and into my fucking eye. Jesus. There's now some previews of album tracks - so if you don't have a clue you can obtain some.

20/03/05

I've updated the link page seein as half the bands on there have split up. What's that all about? And there's a lot of young people knocking around these days aswell. Have you noticed? Fucking freaks. They're not really young you know, they just have stupid faces. Their skin is retarded. Their faces have no balls and they are all desperately, desperately bad at sex.

Later: There's a prettier way in to all the Chicago stuff now too.

Later Still: And now there's yet another review of the album up.

16/03/05

Another review of the album is up...and a review of the launch gig too

12/03/05

I know it says 10th on the link, but that's a lie. Just plumping the pillow and attending to some matters of accuracy. New news and that.

10/03/05

The first review of the album is on the site now. Personally I think the guy's just nitpicking.

12/02/05

Nnnnng. If ever you find yourself repeatedly having to pull your face with gross sucking noises out of hefty mounds of sewer clots in order to fulfill your obligatyion to deliver chirpy weather bulletins then sudden and brutal is the only way you'll manage it. One quick whiplash wrench and bam. There you are. You are presenting. The air and the light are like olympic weights on your gurning and juddering form but you're a fukin pro mutherfucker and you, with consonants just-so and with vowels almost playfully rounded do what you must do and hey, respectt maan, that was pretty fuckin smooth. There goes the face, slammed back into the reeking fucking squish. There's updates all over the place. Gig and tour stuff which is also adressed as if it were news stuff (which it is), album stuff, and can you spot the new link?

22/01/05

There's billions of Chicago photos processed and ready to upload but there's not enough webspace for us to have 'em up there yet. We're buying some more soon we are. In the meantime though I've chosen to provoke a burst in the zip of our allocation by shoving up some new scans of some old pics. I did a small thing because I couldn't do the big thing. Why wait? Fer fucks sake will you get off my back you bleeding pouty gabber.

06/01/05

Tremble with shame and fear you fairweather faux-fan of fucked-up and fucking formidable f- f- f- f....music: Danny's top 50 albums of 2004 is here and you've not got nearly a quarter of them you casual interest, sweating-in-'Fop', jaded, past-it, lost-it, uncommitted, pen-pushing waste of a soul.

28/12/04

And there's shitloads of Chicago shit in the Chicago scrapbook now. I'm fucking tired you know. But I'm not tired enough. It's under Yellowstone, Allah's brimming bowl, his finger poised to tilt. N' shit.

27/12/04

Destroying a world is easy if you don't care about it, no problem at all. It's easier than you think even if you do. There's as bad as it can get and then there's madness which is a kind of escape anyway. Pulses of horror and grinding hells all are mitigated by numbnesses or distinctions. There's always mitigation. There's a launch gig in the news and there's a new Consi in the flash movie.

09/12/04

That big boulder in Raiders of the Lost Ark waited out centuries with its massiveness and readiness to roll until the intrusive nudge came that set it on its devastating way. Similarly, the Giri are ready to roll, and roll they will, all over the country in spring. How beautiful.

23/11/04

It's been a while but there's a new live review up and it's from Everett True's Plan B magazine.

01/10/04

News finally gets its shit together and squeezes a little pip of information from out its gurning lips.

05/09/04

Some gigs treacle their way under our door.

12/08/04

London got a big dirty dint in it now, and there's a new adventure in old Giri haunt the Castle to be had before we go back and do it again.

21/07/04

Another gig is up. A gig in London. Another one.

12/07/04

Jesus. The Journal has been updated finally after wrestling with a slapdash mixed-tense fuck up of a draught version. It's also very fucking long. So here's a digest for those with eyes a hurtin':

Petrol Fumes, Disco, Graffiti, Zebra Crossing, Impecuniousness, Sofa, GET THE FUCK ON WITH IT WE'RE RUNNING STUPIDLY LATE, Waiting, Shit, Shit, Shit, Bristol, Pool Shark, Farting Metal Reptile, Glorious Noisy Bastards, Bilge, Mashed-Up, Fine Art of Screaming, Good.

There's also a new gig up.

26/06/04

Peeeown! Roaring on from albumcomedown we land a plum support slot with the mighty Mission of Burma and we have new songs bubbling up from the murk. There's also some movement on the whole releasing of shit front but that particular bean will be not spilt just yet...

17/05/04

Well what a week that was. Mastering like a posh band at Abbey road, doing a soul draining Manc gig where most of the people who'd come to see us had left 'cause organisational 'issues' meant we were on stupidly late, and finishing it off with a total triumph in Bristol. A gig has been cancelled, but there's more on the way so keep a look out. Like a bug-eyed starving rat.

11/05/04

Risking fiery annihilation in a petrol-pissing car, us and the the reels of 1/2 inch tape on which the Chicago tracks delicately exist, hurtled into the capital to get shit done. photos of us gooning-up on the Abbey Road zebra-shrine are not available. It's the news.

26/04/04

Gigs are shuffled up now we've done Karumba, which was a good night. A guy threatened to break my arms. Seemed like a nice chap though. Chicago related stuff is, I promise, going to be uploaded soon so whoever you are who may be waiting to see what we got up to, it won't be long (as for hearing what we got up to, well, there are things happening soon that might make it quicker than you'd expect - more sneaky details of our exciting plans will be posted here soon).

09/04/04

Happy Good Friday. It's all just insult to injury really isn't it, where Jesus is concerned?

Gigs is updated and there's a rather gorgeously dark picture of Lake Michigan on Danny's page.

25/03/04

It's nice to have time both to shit and wind my watch now; when I've sorted out getting things scanned there'll be loads of Chicago related stuff to enjoy here. Meanwhile there's another gig on the gig page. Choke, but this time we're definitely doing it - definitely!

17/03/04

You'll never guess where I've just been. News, and Album are subtly updated

02/03/04

So there we go. I've invented Tsuji Giri luggage tags. Travel in style with our tasteful tags. TODAY! Gigs and News updated. We're off.

17/02/04

Oh the eyes, the arms the everywhere. There's no spare time and the rest is pushing or pulling things or walking or hitting things and It's always late when it stops. But I, trooper, keep this site bang-the-fuck up to date. Anymother, it's another gig - with Big Joan in Bristol- which will be ace. So hooray for us. There's two new band links too...

12/02/04

So it's done, set in stone and twelve (or is it thirteen?) Giri songs are packing their little suitcases, getting their thrombosis socks on and rehearsing their bomb jokes. It wasn't nearly as bloody as it could've been. Which is good, cause we really could have ended up killing each other over it.

News is updated to commemorate and I've changed the format of the 'updates' link so that it just brings you right here.

11/02/04

...rushing, gigs, new song, er...

06/02/04

Oh jesus my new amp is so beautiful. Oh myfuckojesus. Finally the band has a complete sound and it's fucking awesome. Just listen to that rehearsal tape! Drool drool slapslapslap....

Consi has content on his page now ant the tenth song has been welcomed to the table of the chosen for congratulatory canapés and a good old piss up.

30/01/04

Omyggod it's pretty much four weeks to lift-off. This is truly scary fantastic and awesome in the pre-twatty sense of the word. It's going to happen so quick...

There's some content on Martin's page now.

19/01/04

'My Saviour Alright' and 'Pretty Meadow Soul' make it onto the album - how cool is that?

12/01/04

After much head-scratching and trial and error with 'find and replace' I've gone and got all the links de-underlined. If you now find yourself utterly lost as to what's click-on-able and what isn't then blame Daz Anexium because he said the underlines made the site look ugly.

05/01/04

Right you bastards with your fancy browsers and your general nonsense. I've now got cross-browser fidelity -pretty much- on the whole site. Please report back if any of that javascript nonsense is still happenning for you, and if you can't read the text now it should be a problem for your optician and not me. Jesus that sounds harsh.

03/01/04

Well, it seems that in some browsers this site is buggy as fuck. Bastard! If you're interested, it's to do with imported preload script from Adobe Imageready. It's their fault not mine, but I've got to suffer the ballache of finding the solution and then applying it to every page. So much for the unsoiled new-year triumph. If anyone out there knows a way of sorting it please feel free to rummage through the code. I've also made the side-links easier to read -must have my contrast higher than most people do.

Later that late...

I think I've fixed it. Some code that just blocks js error messages. Perhaps a little draconian but it seems to do the trick. Now I've just got to worry about the text size and table borders in Mozilla. Hooray.

01/01/04

Happy new Year motherfukers. If you don't like it then you can fuck off. Or mail me your suggestions and then fuck off.
