mini♥ yr life

Hey kiddies.

For those who don't know yet, there's some new (much better) songs on our Myspace profile

Now all we gotta do is tell people about them. We need a street team, or something :P

For anyone who hasn't heard over the grapevine yet, Vanessa is no longer our bassist. Fortunately it's all very amicable and we're all still friends and such. My hope is that she can manage us in future, as frankly it'd be a little weird not having her involved.

What that means in practice though is a couple of things. Namely -

1) us gigging has been knocked back a few months, as we're going to have to practice with someone new obviously.

2) we're looking for a new bassist. If any of you think you fit the bill or know anyone who might, then please let us know. There's some vague semblance of a webpage up now (http://www.miniluv.co.uk) with a couple of (of course unfinished) songs up, so you can send people to that if they're interested I guess.

Hope you're all well and such.

Just a heads up for the most probably, uh, none of you that ever visit our Myspace profile:

My sister has decided she's going to run it from now on because we all hate Myspace and generally can't be arsed anyway. She's 14 and has just discovered emo, so.. yeah. :P The black and pink stripes and red nuptial fonts will be all her, not us.

- Charly, who loves her really.

edit might as well plug a couple of other worthyoids on Myspace whilst i'm here.

http://www.myspace.com/reculver Reculver, a band named after a settlement ('village' seems a rather generous word) on the wrong side of Herne Bay formed of several caravans with murderers living in them and a pub. They're pretty much the polar opposite of us in most ways: very much A Rock Band and very much 'professionals', as opposed to our shambolic and mostly (but not quite entirely) wilful utter lack of professionalism. But they're very nice people, their music is very good if you like that sort of whisky n' fags n' long hair n' Les Paul-soaked idiom and the lead singer's granddad is Bruce Forsyth. So have a listen. Also i've been invited to be in their video next saturday but it sounds a bit scary.

http://www.myspace.com/zephoria Don't know any of them but I believe they're Dan mahonster Mahony's (aka Official Miniluv Fan #1) mates and they're really quite a pleasant listen. Somewhere between WYIN Placebo and the Pumpkins. Could be very very good (as opposed to just pretty cool) given a little development.

http://www.myspace.com/entershikari A bit retch-croon Glassjaw/Finch-riff predictable, but they're quite good and at least try and do something vaguely new with the formula, and I think my sister knows them, or something. I dunno. They play Folkestone a lot for some fucking reason despite the fact they're from miles away. Also the singer does a very good Ian Watkins impression, which I suppose is a good or bad thing depending on your point of view.

I realise that the above is rife with backhanded compliments; they weren't intentional :P They're all good bands.

( MSN conversation about the band name...Collapse )

That thought is going to sully my mind forever.

A heads up:

As you can see _miniluv (as was) is now mini_luv via a free rename credit for any account/comm beignning with an underscore. Yes, I know it sucks. Blame LJ, not me :P

- C

I just had a dream with Miniluv in it! We were in an office, working on something.

... yeah.

Dull news time!

http://www.miniluv.co.uk should point to our website in the next couple of days (not working just yet)

The following news will be of interest to approximately nobody:

As I thought i'd set H&V as mods of this comm already but hadn't, i've rectified this. Feel free to accuse me of sexual offences on the comminfo kthxbi.

So we practiced for a few days. Tis sounding good. Brainplug is now pretty much down, X is down, Hypersonic is kindasorta down, ditto Riot Boy. Maybe two more songs and we can gig, rah (which will I imagine be our cover of Sonic Reducer and Sakura Star [aka Porphyria Boy])

When not playing, we.. well, take a look yourself.

Seeing as the website is unlikely to get finished any time soon (Charly's brain = only able to cope with one creative thing at once = new tunes currently) I thought it might be a good idea to post lyrics here. If you like 'em I shall keep posting.
