all the latest instalments of the saga that is the feast's existence.

I added another entry to the "sludgefeast export" page, that sounds like a beer I want to make...then drink - 27th March 08

 

 

The Forum works again - Jesus! 27th March 08

 

 

Good Vs Bad - So there are some big ass goings on in the world of the feast, essentially I (James # 1) have decided to take up the role of a christian missionary, spreading the word of the feast to other continents, On the 18th of April my mission begins, I'll take our shit-rock sound to the Asian continent, setting up our shitrock HQ in Singapore. To help me on my quest I'll be recruiting a new bass player and drummer, these guys will be the basis of the newest feast franchise SFS (Sludgefeast Singapore) I'll write a diary of my progress in constructing the second coming of rock. SF-UK arent going anywhere, it just means there will be a fair few less gigs in the European area than you are all used to.

This has an effect on the new record (which has been finished for some time) I am not currently sure when or in what country it willbe pressed, I hope to have a few pre release CDR's to give out at the next UK show.

Final-ish UK show, the end of rock as you know it is about to come to pass, at the Gander in bournemouth on Tuesday the 15th of April. The Gander is about a 10 minute walk from the Bournemouth train sattion for anyone crazy enough to make the journey. However, for those turning up, you'll be treated tpo not 1, but 3 feast sets, kicking off at 8PM (or 7:30) Andrew Crisp, Coirin Duff and I will play a set of songs from 99, followed by some of our friends playing stuff, set 2 will see Gareth, and things will be rounded off with James II playing songs from more recenttimes. Other bands we hope to have along are Andy Nazers C30, Junk Yard Choir, The Clams, Dylan from Soundbite, and anyone else we can convince to get up and play for a few minutes. 27th March 08

EESF - Go Dorset, our tribute to Electric eel shock is now available through the forum. We played their album launch show on fraday, and it fucking rocked, well I was fucking drunk as a mother fucker, so I asume it rocked, I dont really recall. You can remind yourself of all the releases you may have missed by looking at the online discography, Space is getting limited here on sludgefeast.com, with nearly 1GB of MP3 files floating around we are going to have to start taking some shit down.

15th oct 07

Trans-Am-plification complete! The new 26 track Sludgefeast record is finished, now I just have to do some artwork and get the bonus features together...release date is unkown, but I suspect it will be jan / feb, just because no one will allow me to release a record at Christmas.

In other new...we have a few shows coming up, but get excited because on the 12th of next month we play the buffalo bar bar and get to play once more with the mighty Electric Eel Shock, and for the first time with Winnebago Deal...check the rarely updated live page for details...

18th sept 07

 

We just got back from Holland again, it was ace, thanks / fuck off where applicable to all those concerned, especially vincent.


We have just recorded a song for the new sims game "castaway" on the DS
...and are still hard at work on our proper sequel to virtua rock (hard at work isn't really true, but we are doing shit on it when we are sober enough to be bothered)

As usual there are new songs for forum members to download (you have to be a member and logged in to see them)
23rd july 07

Don't forget this weekends shows,here's an update, at the bull and gate I'll be playing drums for soundbite seeing as their drummer quit on tuesday (nice), i wont have rehearsed, and as of now (thursday morning) I havent learnt the songs, and then theres the PS3 to play from tonight...also catch 22 is afree entry, and for those unsure where that is here's a pretty fucking awesome looking flyer, and here's a web link

13th march 07
 

A new section added to the discography, that lists all the downloadable shit we have released.

Download the Sludgefeast internet only E.P. total confusion here

We are proud to announce the feast have formed a relationship with Overdrive bookings, who are booking us some shows in holland as I write this...these shows will occur early next year to coincide with the release of our new mini album "shit rock motherfuckers", more on that soon.
I just did an interview for a fanzine in Belgium, when it comes out it may have an exclusive feast song stuck to the cover...  

We played a show last night with mystery meat, it was pretty cool,. although it feels like a century since we last played, so we are slowly trying to get our shit backtogether, I spent today working on artwork for a new record, I am not going to talk about it till its pressed, there may be some things that stop it happening...anyway we are playing in august, 7th is in bournemouth at mr kyps, and on the 10th we are at the buffalo bar in london, might see some of you there?

Forum should be back up soon, the guy is fairly slow, if anyone wants to help us and do it for us then that would be ace, contact me through the myspace thing.

18th june 06

 

So a busted PC has meant that I havent done an update in a while...now I am back on it, so what have you missed, well the sludgefeast/guitar wolf split 7" picture disc is out (and available from the must destroy site), virtua rock is out, and and in our opinion it's the greatest record ever made, by any band ever to exist, ever.
We recorded 100 songs in one afternoon recently...

Our forum has been hacked by some assholes, we are working to return it to life...
for those waiting for a new record there are two seperate things currentlky being pissed around with...uum thats about it

Thats a pictue of a concept-car nike designed for granturismo 4, see it all comes back to video games in the end.

Go to the shop section, its been updated, cheaper prices, and some new multibuy deals await you........28th june 05  

so I am updating the news section for once, it seems in this ever decaying record industry that no one wants to buy singles anymore, so as an experiment in to other mediums we are doing our next single "total confusion" as an internet release thing, it will be purchasable as a part of a compilation on a real piece of plastic at some point, but for now, internet only ...the track is an alternate recording to the album version, and features some B-sides you cant get elsewhere...it should be released sometime in the next few weeks via lots of weird places (possibly not including this site). As for the album expect that to follow pretty soon.

We are also doing a few dates with do me bad things on their upcomming tour, not sure which ones yet, but it will be starting next week so check back....24th may 05

 
we have finished a video for the song erethezontidae, its available now for download on the sounds page, it was done with no budget at all, so all the fancy "effects" arent really very fancy, anyway this is one of the mean songs off virtua rock, our next pop song video will also go up sometime soon...26th jan 05
next week sludgefeast will be making a pop video for their next single (total confusion), expect to see it on an MTV2 executives rejected videos pile soon...19th jan 05  
the thunderforce mother fucker 7" is now available from rough trade, limited to 200 copies, go get one. also loads of new shows added for this very week over on the live page. 12th dec 04
Anyone who was thinking pof going to the windmill on the 18th of december to see us...dont its been cancelled. 4th nov 04  

OK so I am a big liar it would seem my statement about the recent bull and gate show being our last in london this year was crap, I just got offered another show, and accepted it...on the 10th of november we'll be at the brixton telegraph with the tokyo dragons, I just couldnt turn it down despite the fact that I should be home preparing for halo 2, it is also possible that the sludgefeast movie "disastour" may be being shown somehow or other, it will be on the dvd with the next record so dont fret if you cant make it...paul from benson will be doing DJ stuff. . 1st nov 04

 

 
I have had so many complaints about crappy real player that I have uploaded our latest video as wmv's aswell, from now on we will only use wmv's... . 12th oct  

so how long has it been since we updated the news? fucking ages. we seem to do everything on the forum these days, but in recent months there has been a fuck of a lot of upset in the world of the feast, we decided to play less live shows with andy, for various reasons, he's still a feast member and always will be, but you probably wont be seeing him on stage with us very often.

 

two bits of news in one day...yes its true...you can imagine the trauma that lars ulrich went through when he wasn't sure whether to be a pro tennis player, or the drummer in metallica, the same with maidens bruce dickinson and fencing, so I must report that our drummer when faced with a similar choice decided life as a profesional sportsman would suit him better than life as a drummer, chasing his way up the moto GP xbox live scoreboards, we will think of him often...you can view him playing drums for possibly the last time with the feast on the 15th of this very month at mr. smiths in bournemouth.

 

so what does this mean for the feast....well it means we'll all be getting drunk next week at gareths aftershow party, and along for the booze will be none other than james thomas, or James II, as he shall be known from now on...a drummer we poached from a band we've played with a few times, james is gonna kick ass, we have already played two try out shows with him, which went pretty damn well, in fact here is a video from last nights show at the dublin castle in london....head along to the bull and gate on the 26th of oct for a chance to see him in action, and quite possibly the last chance to see feast in london this year. . 8th oct

 

a tour diary has been made for our french trip, it's over at must destroy. 12th jully

in my on going battle to fill the harddrive of the server that hosts our website I have added the video of half a live show to the sounds page 22th may
I realised that the sounds page hasnt been updated in about 2 years, so all the old MP3's are gone and now there are new ones, also the sub sections have all gone, its now just one page for video and audio, yes theres still more along with new mp3's the final king of the arcade video *which I finished ages and ages ago) has been put up, dee what MTV2 never let you...mother fuckers 22th may  
some new dates have been added to the live page... 19th may

finally after a motherfucker load of beer I have done it, I have finally got the worlds best time on Daytona USA on the sega saturn, I just have to send in a polaroid of my score, and then wait for everything to finalised before I become an official twin galaxies # 1 record holder, so know this, I am better than you at daytona USA, and I can prove it. I guess we'll have to reprint the king of the arcade shirts now to include my score!!- 25th jan 04  
king of the arcade will be released on march the 1st, initialy limited to 1000 copies at the fucking stupid price point of £4.99 or so..... we dont know if we will press more than the initial 1000 so if you want one I would suggest you grab it fast...- 20th jan 04
my god, feast invaders high scores have had a crazy turn...now I never thought the score I set was unbeatable, but people have accused me that it was a fake and the score was impossible to beat....well it seems that the french are the best videogamers after all (despite bringing us rayman) check it out! - 19th jan 04  
mp3 club action....yup its that time again (actually its a little past that time) anyway go over to the forum, sign up and download this months mp3, 7 songs by alternafeast, its a studio version of the off show we did last night with coirin on drums and gareth on bass, fucking crazy sf90 alike action.- 16th jan 04
we have a show at the bull and gate on the 28th of feb, get a pound off by printing out and taking the flyer available here . we are also playing the gander in bounemouth on feb the 19th...- 15th jan 04
we are playing the central in bournemouth (well parkstone) in the 15th of this month, where we'll be doing 2 sets. a normal feast show, and the first in our series of 4 alternfeast shows, where we swap round, throughout the 4 shows everyone in the band gets to play every instrument, this first one coirin is on drums, james on guitar, and gareth on bass, with andy doing the audience participation - 9th jan 04  
well we did make a video for it's on, problem was my hard drive storing all the data died, I just found a way of converting it from mpeg (the only form I had it in) to real media, so my god thats another video gone up, 2 in 2 days - fuck me. - 19th dec 03
yup, who needs news, when theres a message board and a mailing list?? well for those too lazy to bother with either, the second MP3 went up in the forum a wek or so ago, and its the original guide vocal version of "its on" (log in to access it) also today I was fucking around with some video footage from our tour, I made a very rough version of the video for king of the arcade, we will be shooting some more stuff this weekend including some performance bits, (but mainly its an excuse to go and play games down at the arcade!) anyway head over to the sounds bit and click on "video" to watch it...by the way, it's the new recording of the song taken from the forthcoming mini album (yup that's no swearing kids!!) oh and in other news my donkey konga game for gamecube shipped today from japan, I can't mother fucking wait. - 18th dec 03
some of the dates on our tour have changed, check the live section for details...  
everything is go, I don't even have time to update the damn news section of this site, but...look at those links along the top...notice anything?? that's right the ever empty "press" section has been replaced by a storming new forum...if you go and join up you'll get access to the MP3 club where we give away new stuff every month, this month its an EP of ten benson covers to get us in the mood for the tour with said rock kings which kicks off in a few weeks. 1st nov 03
let's tell you about the next feast record...i know you are all still getting used to the last one, but seeing as I have just finished mastering it about 5 minutes ago I thought I'd stick the final track listing up...its "king of the arcade" a single from the album however because of that ever slim chance of it being on the radio its been re-recorded in full to omit the mother fuckers, which while sounding like a bad idea isn't because there are now lots of supreme arcade sound effects on there to keep the rock high...anyway track list :
1 - king of the arcade 2 - gotta listen to me 3 - daytona USA mother fucker 4 - james' # 4 5 - killer 6 - tempest 4000 7 - sega model 2 8 - instrumental # 16 9 - theme from race 10 - super V.G.A.
yes i said it was a single, and a single it is, well in price and marketing anyway, so you lucky mother fuckers get to follow up noise action noise with another nearly full album within months of its original release...it's like a mission pack for the last record, a sort of extra levels add-on at a special cheap price because you all bought the last record
