Sauna Youth
Fair Ohs have a lotta love for Sauna Youth. Not only are they incredibly handsome (which we tweeted about), but they also make amazing psychedelic punk rock. Someone wrote an amazing piece about them which made me happy, as whoever wrote it obviously loves this band as much as everyone should do.
Check It!

Matt's Best of 2010
I love making lists and love buyingmusic, here is this mutual love colliding. I know some of these records were released in 2009, but my trust fund didn't come through in time.

Albums?
Tonight we are going to see our friend Rory Bratwell to off finish the last bits to what will be our first Album . Rory has a lovely little studio which is a 4 minute walk from my flat and a 2 min walk from Faulkners Fish & Chips Shop which does some mean fish cakes that sits well with a side of chips and curry sauce. FYI Rory is an indie rock legend and directly influenced the summer of New Rave just like Minor Threat showed people it was fun to not have fun.
If you think that Fair Ohs were at their best when they played 1 minute long hardcore garage punk ditties with lots of noise and feedback before they took their shoes off like hippies and started singing about beaches and playing sitars like some balding yet ponytailed sandle wearing world music mutherfuckers then i'm sorry, you're gonna hate this shit.
If you realised that only listening to fast music and being a 'punk' wasnt as important as mortgages, financial stability, nice meals, holidays without your parents, spongebob drumsticks, guitars that dont stay in tune because they look so FUCKING good and cost a packet,a nice bottle of whiskey for when you get homeafter your 9-5 kickass upper management job, tapping in on the bendy bus and shoes without holes, then you are in for a treat.
Who cares though right, as long as people think we still sound like AV meets VW, we're bound for mad dollars, am i right?

Christmas Gigs
We only have 3 shows left before the end of the year, which we think you should come join us for, they will all be a blast!
The first is at the the Old Blue Last for the lovely people at Dance Magic Dance who have got us playing live with Awesome Tapes From Africa, doing his only London DJ Slot. This is the man behind the awesome blog of the same name that does what it says in the title, posting up awesome tapes from Africa for everyone to download. I think all of Fair Ohs have downloaded some killer tunes from this dude!
Then we play a one off acoustic show for our friends at Flashback Records on Essex Road in Angel, London. This is happening on December 10th at 7pm for their Xmas party and will be a great time to buy loads of good second hand records. They have a selection of 60's garage punk LP's that drains my wallet everytime i go in there to see Kevin and Robin from Male Bonding. As it is a shop,we cant use full drums, so we will be doing a stripped down set for the first time ever, ethno acoustic jams forever!
Final show is with Mr Ty Segall on 12th December, which i'm psyched for as i have spent more than enough time with his last 3 records on repeat (seriously, 'Sad Fuzz' from his new record 'Melted' = Tune!). And as if it couldn't get any better, we get to play with the ever handsome bro's in SAUNA YOUTH on the same bill!! Fuck, they are my band of 2010, no doubt. This will be in Brighton @ Jam, see you theres yo!

Rome & Barcelona
We headed overseas, this time without the backup of Cold Pumas, and played in Rome which provided lots of free cocktails, nice pasta, some Britpop and no sleep.
Then Barcelona to play in the centre of town to alot of people in fancy dress. The guy who owned the bar poured the most generous glasses of whiskey i've encountered and took offence if we even tried to give him our free drinks vouchers? Plus i could smoke inside, results!

France & Holland
A few days of fun in Europe with Cold Pumas, and this time Joe Ryan made it, along with our faithful driver and eater of cookies, Fessey. Unfortunately the curse of Fair Ohs abroad hit again, this time our van broke down in the North of Holland and the rest of the trip involved alot of trains, staying in seperate cities, meltdowns in mercedes dealerships and a HUGE loss of funds, fun!
Imagine the crowd/promoter must've been dissapointed that neither Fair Ohs or Cold Pumas were Male Bonding. Nothing Hurts eh?
We stayed above a medical research factory in paris, with the largest recored collection i've ever drooled over.
Notre Dame
Amsterdam, getting baked after the show and eating all of Fessey's choc fingers. Indulgent.
The hotel in Amsterdam was previously a prison in the War, which Joe mistook as a Concentration Camp when he went to check us in.
'Oi Eddy, you're not gonna like this, but we're staying in a concentration camp!'
No van = 4 trains to Tilburg with stuffs

Sardinia
We went to Sardinia to play Here I Stay Festival but Joe stepped on a sewing needle that his housemated had drunkenly left in the floor so he went and had an operation to cut it out whilst we flew off to Sradinia with our bros COLD PUMAS. It sucked we didnt get to play and we missed Joe, but it was a great weekend in the sun with 2/3 of Fair Ohs, 3/3 Cold Pumas and Mr Rory Bratwell!!
