HEY HEY 16K TENTH ANNIVERSARY Mr Rob Manuel's amazing video for "Hey Hey 16K" was released 10 years ago this weekend, on 4 May 2004, and was the kick-off for all MANNER of larks and craziness. To celebrate this auspicious anniversary I'm reissuing the original single as a revised and updated Pay What You Want EP, available for the next seven days, which you can find at these locations: heyhey16k.com1 mjhibbett.bandcamp.com/album/hey-hey-16k-10th-anniversary3
As ever, any plugs, mentions, tweets or indeed PURCHASES would be most appreciated!
INDIETRACKS In July The Validators are returning to Indietracks and we're VERY excited about it! We've got a GRATE list of songs to choose from, including some old favourites that we've never played live as a band before and also some NEW stuff. If anyone wants to book us for a warm-up do get in touch, and if you fancy coming you've got until Sunday 11 May to get cheap early bird tickets, HERE: indietracks.co.uk/tickets/4
AND FINALLY As if that wasn't enough of a glorious return, I'm happy to announce that Totally Acoustic will be returning in August for a new series of shows and podcasts. I'm currently sorting out who'll be playing when, tune in next time for further news! totallyacoustic.com5
