10/04/04

gus

Yep, have just got al a provisional slot on the 2nd stage at guilfest, the album sounds ace and we have been talking about a poss redwood gig!!!

09/04/04

BB

Chilli is cool but i cant believe she has a kid. She should have a kid with Usher than that ohter dude. Usher and Chilli make a cute couple but Usher shouldnt cheat on Chilli like that, and Chilli should have fun.

ltk

oooh, does this mean Al will be gigging again soon? Did I ever mention there are some great venues in Brighton..... I am back this weekend, do you know of any local gigs worth checking out and is the open mic night going ahead on Easter Monday?

Gus

Err, yes, it was just the colour of the frontpage, but I am in the middle of a total site redesign, including more mp3's, artwork, and videos. Should be done by the end of the month!

Richard Eccleston (Matchstickgeezer)

REFORM!! You guys would be MASSIVE!! I tell thee!! Go on tour supporting Reuben around the UK!! ;)

22/12/03

Gus

Loads gunna happen next year, Al's album is all mixed bar one song which needs the drums redoing... sounds ace. Have just recorded the majority of Hip Slinky's album, Chris is still drumming for mindwire, bumped into Rob in guildford who suggested a reunion gig, halloween was available as a ringtone which was cool! Still playing all the old Redwood tracks with Al at the open mic nights. Am going to try to organise something in the new year...

Please give us an update on the band/solo stuff/news/mp3's/anything.

Gus

Am now relaxing from the tour, so much more went wrong than was reported (two guitars completely trashed etc), but it was all good fun! Next adventure is renting a house for two weeks in november to record Hip slinky...

06/11/03

LTK

Hi Angus, had a quick look at the Reuben site, sounds like you have had a few nightmares with the tour! Hope things went more smoothly after York and the last gig in London tonight is a good one. Enjoy your relaxing break in Cornwall and hopefully I will make it back for a Monday night in the 3 Tuns again soon. By the way - do you still read this page??!! See ya, Kate.

I??!! See ya, Kate.

I’ve got 2 tickets to Jane’s Addictions sold out show at Brixton Academy on Friday 31st October (Halloween), It’s not gonna your average show as it’s going on until 2am and according to their web site it’s gonna be a “special one.” Not to mention Jane’s Addiction put on an amzing show anyway. Tickets are £30 each, if your interested email me at david_lapage@yahoo.co.uk

Dingo

hey Redwood, actually just acidently just bought your single anything goes in a weird music store, i like to buy music i havent heard of before and thankfully i stumbled in to you guys. Just listening to Grind this very moment, it certainly rocks, Keep it up, you guys get me funky peaceout ps, that is one guest book! x

faley

well. 2nd cousin, or third, or summt like that. aint got a clue how it works. gills son put it that way

12/09/03

faley

alright... Rob where are you? its been a long long time since i last saw you, was hoping to see you at the wedding ages ago but aparently you were busy working or summat somewhere. last time you saw me i was a tiny little kid. anyway im still living here in donington and the music scenes getting better and better. me and a mate got together and did a few things (me on bass) and we've managed to get one of the songs on a compilation album coming out. i started playing colourblind to all my mates and within no time people were trying to get hold of it, to no avail unfortunatly. they love it over here and your getting more and more popular! I only just managed to find the site.. and nice job:) ill tell people to start gettin the cd's straight away. whats the status of the band atm? and people are right, you'd rip up mtv and kerrang with stuff like Claustrophobe and Sad sick world so get looking into it. rob please get back to me as it's been ages since i've even heard from you. your cousin andrew faley (faley) k

06/09/03

matchstickgeezer

Not meaning to try and sway decisions at all... but the music industry has recently come round to finding the redwood style of music to their taste. With your experience and quality playing, along with Al's voice, im sure that the band would be more successful if they were ever to reform. Songs like Claustraphobe would tear up anything on Kerrang TV by miles these days, plus you have the independent radio stations, and the numerous digital TV channels to spread the word on.

08/08/03

Gus

We will be posting something soon as we get a lot of questions about whats happening. Although Al and I play Redwood/Lazydog songs every week at various open mics and we even played a slot at Guildford Festival, the last time the band was together was almost a year ago. Reunions have not been ruled out but its only fair to clarify the situation. We will post something by the end of August to this effect. Thankyou for evryones continuing support, whatever happens I will keep this site running for as long as I can!

01/08/03

Kev

Well, it's been three years since the last Redwood album and the last official redwood gigs... How's life post-redwood for the four of you, Gus? Do you ever have any thoughts about reforming officially and doing a new album and gigs, or is that never going to happen? It's just that it's all been left a bit open-ended, the way this site is still up and running, as though the band's still going.. I figured maybe you guys hadn't made up your minds yet about if you were just taking a break from Redwood or whether it was for good, so you left the site running for the time being. Well, it's been a few years, so I was just wondering if you've reached any conclusions yet (I dunno how often you get to talk to the other guys about it). Being in Redwood for ten years must have been exhausting, getting a record deal after years of demo-making and then losing it again must have been hard. I can see why you all needed a long break, but I was just wondering- After having that long break, are you now thinking "God I'm glad t

01/08/03

Apparently 'anything goes' Cam!

Hey, well you said it would be ok to leave a msg on your site... so this is me leaving a msg, a bone msg but this is my first time... I was listening to Anything goes, thanks Kazaa! And i thought it would be rude not to say Fab song-love it(which is what i think by the way!)! Hope to see you crazy cats out and about soon, many kisses Cambozola (my thursday name!)x

17/07/03

Kate ('LTK')

Hi Angus, great to see you at Guilfest, superb set by Al and excellent set later on with the two of you playing old Redwood stuff. You both looked like you really enjoyed it and the crowd certainly did - nice one! Hopefully it won't be another year before I get to hear it again! Was a great weekend as always and your sets were definitely among my highlights - thanks!

07/07/03

Gus

flying???? Anyway check out Alistair at Guildford Festival 5th July, just before Hip Slinky!! Both have new material imminently available...

29/06/03

27/04/03

Claire

Whats all this talk of reforming?? I REALLY wish you would, I'd do anything to persuade you!! *wink wink* But seriously, make sure you get yourselves back down to Essex one day, the last time I saw you guys was in 1997, and I've been listening to your stuff ever since.

23/04/03

Kate (LTK)

Very upset about not getting tickets for Glasto. Going to V, but missed out on camping tickets which is a pain. Any news on Guildford festival yet?

10/01/03

kev

Gus, do you actually update the site when the date changes? Cos I can never find anything new! :s

10/01/03

van der kerkoff

Matchstickgeezer, if you add the link for "contact us" first, you'll be able to let people know when you've got updates, and get feedback sooner. Looks good so far !!

04/01/03

The Matchstickgeezer

Can anyone give me some quick feedback on this layout for my new redwood related website please?? www.geocities.com/sadsickworld Its undergone a bit of a transformation!! :)

01/01/03

The Matchstickgeezer

Ok Ok... I have finally turned off the Mary Jane EP after 2 weeks of living like a hobbit in my bedroom with no food. And i can say... it ROCKS!!! Man its sooooooo good!!

31/12/02

van der kerkoff

and if the reformation comes, you'll need a roadie of some sort???

20/12/02

Dan

Come on guys........... Why are you not still together as redwood. Colourblind is my favourite album in my collection of 300........ I only saw you once, you got me hoocked. Please please please please come back for another album.... And if you wont at least tell me why???????????

10/12/02

hi

jdlkajf

04/12/02

Kev

Thanks for Mary Jane album it's sooo good!! Quality is great, no worries on the technicial side of things. As for the songs they rock! Even this early on your stuff was better than most of the lameass guitar bands around now. Finally we get to hear the unacoustic version of Red Glow(acoustic)! Everone who hasn't already, buy this album now! It's a great addition to my Redwood collection, just hope it's not the last...?!?!

25/11/02

King Moko

Its all gone quiet??!!

22/11/02

It's simple. All you have to do guys is get back together again and start releasing more decent stuff. It's not hard.

Come on guys!!!!!! Telll us you will rweform! i have contacts in record industry now!!!!!!!

11/11/02

Kev

another four years later... Angus: "Wait a minute.. they were telling us to reform!" Al: "OHHHH! Now I get it!" Rob: "Right then, let's not waste any *more* time!" (grabs guitar and starts playing Man In Blue) Chris: "Yeah! Screw our Co-op shift this evening!" (throws price-gun into a hedge)

07/11/02

Kev

Angus: "You know, for some reason I get the feeling that there's a little enthusiasm for us reforming" Al: "Nah mate, it's probably just wind" Rob: What were we talking about again?" Chris: "Fuck it, let's just go down the pub"

07/11/02

The Matchstickgeezer

You have to reform now!! The unofficial redwood site is coming back with a BANG soon!! www.geocities.com/sadsickworld

06/11/02

Ouch!

Reform, my boyfriend wont stop going on about it until you do!! PLEASE!!

05/11/02

Ouch!

Reform, my boyfriend wont stop going on about it until you do!! PLEASE!!

05/11/02

The Matchstickgeezer

Here are my friends thoughts: Dave - REFORM Ian - Reform Kate - Reform Matt - Reform Siye - Reform! Craig Reform!! Please!! There are loads of us in wolverhampton that wanna see you guys play here again! And, if you wanna change ur name again, how about 'The Redwood' lol! Only joking! But reform seriously!!

05/11/02

Kev

Keep it commin' people, they can't ignore all of us!! If you support the band by comming to this site, I urge you to DEMAND REFORM NOW!

04/11/02

LTK

Hurrah - people that share my feelings! it would be so great if you guys reformed. It has been a long time since I first saw you play at the trinity gig at Guildford Mount many years ago - I became hooked then and would not have followed you ever since if I didn't think you were worth it. I have many good memories - but would like many more.

04/11/02

The man from Nike

JUST DO IT !!

04/11/02

Sad in Surrey

I couldn't agree more. You guys really are brilliant (yes 'are' not 'were') and deserve to be up there with the best of British bands. Electric Soft Parade made it big this year and won the Best Newcomer prize at the Q Awards - next year I want to see you guys take that award home. Please do not let what you have go to waste.

04/11/02

still waiting for colourblind followup:'(

You shouldnt've quit after almo sounds folded, you should've got another deal (playing more than one gig a year would've helped there). Well you've had your four year break; recording a chillout album and playing no gigs, you must be raring to get back to work by now!!? Get out of the Westend Centre's obscure oblivion night and into the pages of Kerrang and the soundtrack of daytime soaps again where you belong! I want to go to a redwood gig and wear my redwood shirt and see Rob play the solo to "outside"... i want to see angus blast out the "power trip" chord sequence... i want to see Al with a bass guitar again, singing to a full backing band not an old acoustic and a metronome. Pllllleaaaaaase all four of you reform and get gigging and pestering labels and record a Gone/Colourblind/Strange style album again.... What's the point in keeping this site up and regularly updated if Redwood doesn't even exist?! Are you just trying to torture us fans?!? If you think people give enough of a damn about Redwood to de

03/11/02

29/10/02

Kev

OMG you played a gig?! With Rob actually there! The solos!! oh yeahhh

29/10/02

Mystery Someone Great

When when when when when is Mary Jane EP here???!!!!

14/10/02

Matchstickgeezer

Chris - Your drumming does rock! \m/ But i'm still gonna get it anyway! lol! :p

08/10/02

Chris

To the Matchstickgeezer, you do know I wasn't in the band at the point of 'the Mary Jane ep',so it's obviously not worth listenng to!!! :-)

08/10/02

The Matchstickgeezer

WOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

29/09/02

Gus

Ok, I've done the Mary Jane EP, should be available within the week...

29/09/02

Kev

Can I point out that you got far more success with your debut album than A or Feeder did with theirs.. and they're both totally famous now. Don't give up just cos you didnt find fame right away after getting signed, they didn't

28/09/02

Kev

Yeah reform now. Redwood style, not Lazydog style. Also we want the following on CD: 1) Slow Train EP 2) Mary Jane EP 3) Mary Jane EP (alternate version) 4) The Lazydog EP 5) The fan club acosutic EP 6) Videos collection 7) No mosquito EPs (chris!) 8) Pocket Angel EP (gus!) 9) B-side compilation including the vinyl b-sides 10) Compilation of unreleased tracks (shallow, fuck you, etc) Now that Chris has given us permission to pester you it's okay for me to say all that bullshit

28/09/02

matchstickgeezer

one word.... REFORM!!!!!!!

24/09/02

Kate

Aww - we all do!

20/09/02

Gus

I do Chris.,

19/09/02

Chris

That is of course if anyone gives a shit!!

18/09/02

Chris

As far as I'm concerned is all is going well................. even Angus is happy :) !!!!!!!!!!!

18/09/02

Mac

Hiya people. Pester Angus for Slow Train (1st Redwood EP) on cd. It may be featured in the planned Redwood / Lazydog box-set. Oh, and Al, Angus, and Chris, played a few songs acoustic in a venue in the depths of Surrey last night......

17/09/02

Gus

Hi American Girl, yes I do run this site, u can email the redwood email address if u want, all emails come to me at the moment!

07/09/02

An American Girl

Angus... Do you run this website? If so, How the fuck are you? How is Guildford? England? Just reminiscing with a British girlfriend of mine about my year in Surrey and you popped into the brain. Thought I'd look you up. Are you here? I'm in New York now (3 yrs.). Do you ever get over this side?

07/09/02

Missed Elbow, caught a bit of Counting Crows... but managed to avoid the Jaxx!! Enjoyed whole weekend - Starsailor, Gomez and Turin Brakes had good sets - but disappointed with Badly Drawn Boy. If only life was one big festival! (with nice toilets of course)

20/08/02

Gus

Yep, managed to get in on sunday, saw elbow, counting crows, basement jaxx (bit gone by that point). Had good time if slightly weird at some points.

20/08/02

http://www.mindwire.org.uk its run by chris so the guestbook is a good way to get in touch with him (much like the Angus situation here)

19/08/02

...anyhow, anyone make it to V2002? And is there a Mindwire website?

19/08/02

ltk

Hey good to see the GB back up and running! I am feeling slightly humbled now tho, I always thought I had an impressive collection of Redwood albums but now I am not so sure...

19/08/02

Kev

BTW I have Head, Asylum, Colourblinds (UK and Japanese), the Redwood LP, Gone Falling Down Saltbox (Cds+7"s) Anything goes halloween claustrophobe (cds only). Also Al's solo LP. I dont think there was a 12" for colourblind. So I need the two Mary Jane Eps, the Slow Train Ep, the Lazy Dog Ep and the fanclub Ep

19/08/02

Kev

Angus is selling copies of colourblind with the extra two songs for a tenner, if you feel like upgrading (your original must be pretty screwed by now, mine is completley unplayable)

19/08/02

Kev

Nope, the import has two exclusive tracks, (1) Power Trip lounge version (which is NOT the same track as the one on the falling down 7", though it is similar) (2)In time acoustic version (this might be the same as the track on the lazydog EP but since we dont have that EP anyway...

19/08/02

The Matchstickgeezer

How about you! :)

18/08/02

The Matchstickgeezer

I have all the singles on CD (Including halloween) as well as Colourblind, Asylum and Head (Original copy!) I alos have 3 of the vinyls, with the alternate track listings. And the Lazydog (New) album. I just need the early demo EPS and 2 vinyls (That have same tracks anyway!) The import has the same tracks as the vinyls does it not?? I also need colourblind 12" (If there is one!)

18/08/02

Kev

BTW matchstickkid, do you have the bonus tracks from the import colourblind and all the vinyl singles that had alternate tracklisting to the CDs?

18/08/02

The Matchstickgeezer

Yeah, i got the fan club tape. But if anybody has the early EP's, lemme know please!

17/08/02

kev

actually Al's website mentions an even earlier release called Slow Train... Oh and let's not forget the fan club tape

17/08/02

kev

I assume the masters are still AWOL

Ps. ANy chance of the Lazydog EP by Redwood or the Mary Jane EP. PLEASE PEOPLE!!!

Redwood split? Oh no! Glad to hear the pub-rock bandwagon is still rolling on in some form or other (where else would we get our bad covers of Hendrix numbers?). What do you say to an ex-member of Redwood? Big Mac and fries please . . . . . .

17/10/01

Gus

Chris & Rob formed No Mosquito and have played several gigs, Chris has now joined local lads Mindwire while Rob is playing in a covers band far away in Oman, Pocket Angel is under construction but going well...

Kev

Why don't you try using a search engine and typing "coby dick fan site"?

13/10/01

coby dick is my darlin

does anyone know if there is a coby dick fan site?

12/10/01

The matchstickgeezer

I dont suppose there are any wood fans that go to wolves uni????

10/10/01

Claire

Hello Everyone!!! Where have you been all this time? I have just found this website after three years of listening to your music and wondering where you had sloped off to. I know you probably won't remember me, but it is worth a try! i came to watch a Redwood gig in 1997 at the Esplanade in Southend. I was a vocalist in a band called Brethren at the time, and we got a mention in 'Blurb'. Anyway, its nice to know that you are still kicking around, even if it is under a new name! Bye

09/10/01

The Matchstickgeezer

The 8 of us dragged ourselves out of beer induced sleep specially to see them, and we were telling people about you all weekend!!! Dont worry though, they werent a patch on the genuine Redwood!!! They were shite so we went to see boyhitscar instead!!

08/10/01

gus

oh heck, I hope no-one else thinks that was us...

05/10/01

The Matchstickgeezer

I am back!!! i need more redwood stuff..how bout burning a CD of all unreleased stuff or the early EPS!!! Come on!!! Reading was ace but i woke up from my crappy hangover sunday morning specially to see Redwood, but it was a crappy nu metal bald bastard band!!! ARGH!!!

05/10/01

gus

hello chris, did you sort out that m'board thingy?

05/10/01

chris

Thought I should add something to this, seeing as I'm in the band. Hello Angus!

04/10/01

Jamie

hello...just thinking...you've got all these millions of side projects but redwood is cool band...so play as redwood!(it's a better name than lazydog, in my humble opinion...)

02/10/01

gregory

well bugger me. this is cool

26/09/01

gregory

well this is a fine to do. A few years ago I bumbled along to have a chat with a very groovy band only for them to disapear off the face of the planet, or did they? no they just carried on being exceptional (if invisible) but unknown to me because of my dislike for computers

26/09/01

Kev

When you do can you put up the details for the posters? thanx

26/09/01

gus

I'll put it on the supermarket page within the next week.

26/09/01

Kev

I went to Al's site, but I couldn't see any details on the album...

25/09/01

Laslam

Can I ask where the hell the name Lazydog came from anyway? You got one or wot?!...

12/09/01

Kev

Let's just hope they don't sound like Five or anything... I don't want to get the piss ripped out of me everytime I mention I like Redwood!

07/09/01

Gus

I would but I can't find out anything about them, ie where they live etc. Then again they might be doing Redwood covers which we would of course get paid for...

07/09/01

Kev

God, first some dance band steals the name Lazydog and now this. Can't you fucking sue them or something?! Or failing that, at least go round and give them a bit of a kicking....

06/09/01

Gus

before anyone else asks me, it wasn't us that played at Reading. Some nameless band stole our name. Apologies to all those who turned up thinking they were going to see us.

06/09/01

ltk

think I am missing Reading this year.... off to V on Sunday to see the Chilli's and Foo Fighters to that should be cool!

17/08/01

17/07/01

Treaclepuff

Ooh, shall I type that one more time?

17/07/01

Treaclepuff

16/07/01

gus

I was watching the tennis

13/07/01

Long Tall Katie

hmmmmm.... well I was there for most of the afternoon/evening so it must have been a very early set! Ah well - hopefully see them at the Guildford weekend?

13/07/01

gus

Yeah, I turned up to see them and also my brother, apparently though they played very early on, so I missed them...

12/07/01

Long Tall Katie

thanks to Al for a fab solo set at the ambient picnic. Didn't recognise him at first but I quite like the move away from dodgy hair dye! What happened to No Mosquito?? I saw the band members hanging around but no set??

12/07/01

the matchstickgeezer

you guys am all brilliant. lazydog ruled and redwood were my favourite band ever. Gutted! Keep up the good work and please keep us contacted on every member of the bands immenent releases. I got where you came from, i got where you went. Keep Rockin. You had it all.

09/07/01

Mac

Al's playin Guildford Ambient picnic on Sunday, as well as th Guildford festival, and a date in September in Aldershot West End Centre.... He'll have a web-site up soon..

02/07/01

Treaclepuff

Hey Gus, I think you're doin a marrrrrrrrrrrrrrvellous job! I heard you always were the nicest one o'da lot :-)

02/07/01

Dr Swithin

he should never have cut his hair off...

30/06/01

Gus

Give me a fuckin break, the other lazy sods do fuck all. I never said we had run out of Head CD's. The record company has gone down so getting hold of the video masters is not as easy as it sounds. I have started to digitise what I can get hold of.. hence Al's video on the lazydog site. sorry.

30/06/01

and again

oh by the way, if anyone hasn't noticed there's a new video up on the lazydog site...

29/06/01

Joey Jo-Jo Jnr

Any luck finding the Lazydog/promo vids/MaryJane masters? Here is a hint... LOOK IN THE FUCKING LOFT It's like "I thought we'd sold all the copies of head, but then I found another 999 in the loft..." Anyway, if you find the shit we will give you money. See? Gus get money? Money good. Yes.

29/06/01

Gus

Nope, I didn't know the EP was available yet. I have seen the video to one of the songs and its cool.

25/06/01

kev

after a bit of surfing it turns out No Mosquito have an official page at www.nomosquito.co.uk and already have an EP recorded... Mac/Gus- I dunno if you guys are jealous or what, but thanx for doing your best to keep both those facts secret!

24/06/01

Long Tall Katie

fanx for the update Mac. shall keep my eyes peeled for any gigs, I like to keep tabs with the local scene! I see The Loft has restarted at Bojanglez which is cool, but I was feeling old down there 5 years ago so will prob resist the temptation to go back! c u at the ambient picnic.

24/06/01

Mac

....and Bill Withers is the most amazing songwriter in the world....

24/06/01

Mac

Al's playing the ambient picnic, plus has made a few videos and recorded loads. Rob and Chris are in No Mosquito, playing slacker Pavement stlyee rock. Chris is also drumming for Mindwire. And Angus is doing solo stuff with another musician. They all see each other out and about, but no immediate plans to play any Redwood/Lazydog gigs together....

24/06/01

Tara

Lads, I do hope you're jesting, 'tis the ego which makes that man damn attractive, methinks he'd get it...well from me anyway...

19/06/01

Long Tall Katie

aw fanx!!

16/06/01

Gus

Al has been doing some gigs here and there, I will start posting them on the gig page.

15/06/01

Long Tall Katie

Good question - are the 'Wood no more?? (please say no!) and can we see Al on the gig circuit soon?

15/06/01

the matchstickgeezers

bloody a-levels!! ARGH!! cool new look though..and oh my god...THE LATEST NEWS HAS BEEN UPDATED AFTER A YEAR!! COOL..IS THE BAND STILL TOGETHER AS WELL AS AL SOLO STUFF?? HAS HE BEEN SIGNED UP BY A LABEL?? MORE REDWOOD/LAZYDOG PLEASE!

14/06/01

Nici

well I can still picture Rob in his leather trousers at a gig at Surrey Uni ('96?!) and he was still looking good last summer, so ego or no ego....

14/06/01

TreaclePuff

Ya, ego is unavoidable with such a rock god. Ahem. Course it is.

08/06/01

Gus

I have to admit he is much more than passable, I have yet to meet a guitarist who gave as much as he did on stage. But as for pulling...

08/06/01

anon anon anon anon

still, he's passable on the guitar I guess (we all know he's just your puppet really Angus, It's obvious who the brains of the operation is!)

07/06/01

anon anon anon

y is it always people who can't pull who have egos? U'd think they'd have more reason then normal people to not have an ego

07/06/01

Anon Anon

I think sometimes the ego gets in the way. shame really.

07/06/01

Anon

And why shouldn't he?

02/06/01

Treacle puffffffffffffffff

Come on then..........come to Guildford Festival again if yer 'arrrrrrrrrrd enuff........maybe Rob'll pull this year........fnar fnar...............MWAH!

02/06/01

Kev

Or how about playing the Newbury Corn Exchange!!! Sorry, I shouldn't laugh...

01/06/01

kev

No, go back to the Exeter Cavern! Quite possibly the smallest venue in the world, but that's where Muse launched their careers. Saw Biffy Clyro there supporting the Llama Farmers and they fucking rocked!!!

01/06/01

Stu

I say Lazydog do a tour of england u know. Visit Newbury and me and Kev would be very happy. :)

01/06/01

L.T.K

me again - just to say that I have finally found out the Ambient Picnic is going ahead this year - hurrah! If anyone is interested it is on July 8th and the website is ambientpicnic.co.uk, and it is FREE!!

01/06/01

L.T.K

Wow! Hip Slinky supporting Feeder - must have been a top nite! Shame we did not hear about it in advance tho...

30/05/01

Tara

I don't suppose anyone's going to see Ben Andrews at the Filo tommorrow? Looks like he's playing Guildford too.

30/05/01

Tara

Oh yeah, and when are you gonna play in lovely, sunny Hastings then?

30/05/01

Tara

So what's this I hear about a video in a supermarket...

30/05/01

Gus

Saw Feeder supported by Hip Slinky last night at the barfly, hot n sweaty and lots of fun with free tequila...

26/05/01

????????????????????????

????????????

25/05/01

Long Tall Katie

AND are you all off to Reading this year? Not sure about 'V' - altho RHCP are worth the ticket price. and U2 are playing in August too -fab month!

25/05/01

Long Tall Katie

Yes - this is all good and exciting - new video and back catalogue on CD would be fab, but still no news on the ambient picnic??!! am I the only one who cares???!!! oh and I still like James and I am excited about seeing them again.

25/05/01

TreaclePuff

Well well welllllllll.........video's eh? Al doing a solo spot? Hmmmmmm. Noice. x

rickdog

Wher have you been all my life? I only have anything goes single (99p bargain) but I need more I bet you could tour with feeder or terrorvision if you asked nicely or you could do v2001? Please you, foos and chili peppers would make the greatest festival ever!

22/05/01

John "Two Jabs" Prescott

Does anyone know if any decent bands apart from Lazydog are planning to go to Guildford? I mean James, Catatonia, Chumbawamba..?! Answer me unless you want some too!! Grrrr Kill crush destroy

18/05/01

the matchstickgeezer

ah...those were the days....

18/05/01

Gus

Actually, come to think of it, we have about forty hours of footage from the 15 date school tour (gigs, interviews, mayhem, tour chat, porn, petrol station food etc). If I can find a friendly production place we will do an edit...

16/05/01

Gus

I'll try to find the masters of the 'Gone', and 'Falling Down' videos. If nothing shows up I'll do some dupes from the copies I have.

16/05/01

matchstickgeezer

I NEVER SAW ANY WOOD PROMOS...AND IT WOULD BE WICKED TO HAVE A VIDEO OF LAZYDOG LIVE...GET IT IN THE SUPERMARKET ASAP..PLEASE..I BEG!! ALSO...WEN WILL YOU PUT MARYJANE EP AND LAZYDOG EP (REDWOOD ONES) ONTO A CD...I CUD DO IT FOR YOU IF YOU GAVE ME A CASSETTE WIV THE TRACKS ON. PPLLLLEEEEAAAAASSSSSEEEEE!

15/05/01

Gus

I had the gig filmed if anyone is interested?

14/05/01

Tara

Well personally I thought last year was lush, the weather, the music, the company...but I never even saw you guys play.

11/05/01

Gus

...and every time we play Guildford, its like a holiday for us!

09/05/01

the matchstickgeezer

01/05/01

LAUREN

i don't get this at all, have i enterd a time warp? am i back in 2000? i'm scared. Well, good to see other people like Redwood too, and if you guys ever read this you owe me a pint or two, i've got about 30 gabillion people interested in you coz i used to relentlessly play your album, but then it was stolen last year (this year if that time-warp shennanigans was right) by a crazy northener with bad shoes and now i am redwood-less. Please come to Banbury and play to all your fans, we get bored of humming your songs in the hope the crazy northener will return said album. PPPPLLLLEEEEAAASSSSEE 29/04/01

30/04/01

Stu

WhooooHoooooo! Worth goin to guilford just to see you guys! :)

True, true, pretty minging. Still Mr Gus, do you feel like answering my little ol'questions. Are there actually any gigs in the preferably not too distant future, will I ever see you guys perform... in a musical kinda way...or any other. Does the band still exist?

23/04/01

Good point, in fact are you guys gonna gig anywhere? When will I ever see your lovely persons/bodies perform, if at all? I'm a little confused...are you even a band anymore...because it looks like you've got quite a lot of support...that is, if you intend on getting your gorgeous arses in gear anytime soon.

16/04/01

Saw the Deftones the other week. Amazing gig. That bloke's got a stunning voice. May check out feeder later this month.

02/04/01

The Matchstickgeezer

I saw Feeder last night...pretty good but my vitriol were better! I also went and saw barenaked ladies on Tuesday and they were AWESOME!! Anyway..the point i am making is...i wore my Prized redwood t-shirts to both gigs but nobody seemed to know who they were...LOW LIVES!! I wear those t-shirts with pride!!

02/04/01

Stu

Yeah very funny Kev...

31/03/01

No, but I have a Starforce Bass, marbled finish with stars and moon on the fretboard. Probably the most disgusting bass ever.

25/03/01

Jamie

Has anyone played an epiphone (gibson) Thunderbird iv bass? what r they like? i'm trying to decide what bass to get

22/03/01

Tara

My buddy recognised you from that gig in the Filo last summer. I would have liked to have seen it. I don't suppose there is a repeat...

21/03/01

Tara

Take a wild guess. If I could take my pick that is... you're all rather lovely...but I think you know who. Photos would once again be greatly appreciated... and like I said, where was the streetmate warning?

21/03/01

Kirk Hammet

Ian Beale's making out with Richard??! COOL!

16/03/01

Tara

Indeed, I appear to be the only female shaped person in this arena, but for that alone give me a little credit guys. I choose my lovers carefully. Certain Redwood band members - Yes, Matchstickfella - I think not. So who does that leave...?

16/03/01

dotcodotyoukay@webshite.co.uk

Redwood RULE!!

16/03/01

Nah, it was Ian Beale

15/03/01

Coby Dickless

Gus you're in charge round here, what do you think? Tara seems to be the only chick around here, but who's to say it's a girl? I wouldn't put it past Rob. Or that guy from Hed(Pe).... or Slash from G'N'R for that matter....

15/03/01

Mike Hunt

Naked J- I think Steve Owen is the guilty party in both cases...

15/03/01

What about a South Park Style investigation- "Who is MatchStickGeezer's secret lover?" Oh yah, and it was sooo obviously Lisa who shot Phil.

15/03/01

Chopstickfella

Ohhhhhhh....riiight. Looking back thru the guestbook it all starts to make sense now... well, nearly. By the way, I know who your secret lover is, Richard....

15/03/01

The Matchstickgeezer

theres no hope!!!

15/03/01

gus

wow that message appeared as I was typing the last one

14/03/01

Gus

he was confused, and he is my only brother.

14/03/01

Tara

Oh yeah, and where was the streetmate warning? I'm gonna have to wait for a repeat by the sounds of things.

14/03/01

Tara

I'm presuming you have more than one brother Gus.

14/03/01

Chopstickfella

Wait a minute, if Mac is your brother why didn't he know who you were in his message on 23/09/00? I'm really fucking confused now...

14/03/01

bleep?

14/03/01

Matchstickgeezer's secret lover

I imagine that Richard's hung much like a bull. Of course he's more forceful though. Hey it's spring Richard!

14/03/01

I'll root my evil in the next one I see, snort, moooooo.
