Gig-licious....

Herald the new dates! We have just booked a stack of new dates for the coming year! A look through the gig calendar will show plenty of venues to come and see The Suspects in full swing! In the months ahead, we are playing The Bathurst Family Hotel (they have promised to let us in this time -_-) The Ori in Springwood, heaps of dates at Harrigans and more always coming through...

This Saturday night sees us at the The Kent Hotel in Hamilton. The street boasts a number of very cosmo type eateries; a string of attractive food joints, coffee houses etc or one can just partake of a plump kebab if that is what the heart desires..... 

So for the sake of all that is good and Rockworthy, please come and support us in the quest for tone and the hunt for Groove!

Nuttin' but love for ya :)

Did I Really Need To Know That?

The longest UK hit album title is ‘My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair, But Now They're Content to Wear Stars on Their Brows’ by Tyrannosaurus Rex released in 1968.

In 2004 a man from Stoke-on-Trent, England, named Bryan Adams as the ‘other man’ in his divorce papers after years spent trying to cope with his wife’s obsession with the singer. Rob Tinsley said he had had to live with a 6ft cut-out of Adams which stood at the foot of the bed and posters on the bedroom walls.

Elvis Presley was a big Monty Python fan. His favourite film was The Holy Grail which was in his video recorder when he died.

New Look, New Dates

Hey everyone :)

As you may well have noticed, the website has been 'pimped' a little. We have been asking around and, frankly, you guys were a little unhappy! You wanted more and more, and it never seemed enough! Well, do you know you sound just like your Mother when you carry on like that? "Its not good enough" and "You never make time for me" and "use clearer fonts!"

Also, it seems some things were difficult to read. So hopefully we have stemmed the flow of discontent and youse will all enjoy the site a bit more and that. Thanks for the feed back!

Also, yet more dates have been added to the calendar, so for heavens sake stop moaning that I never take you out anymore! And no, your bum does not look big in that!

Lock the door on your way out....

...see you at the gigs!
