August update

Things have gone a bit quiet around here during the summer, so I've posted this story in the hope of keeping us at the top of the Google search rankings.

Keen amateur archaeologists and Eighties Fanatics Ben, Simon and Robert are currently in South America, on the trail of the trinity of essential instruments of the past and the ultimate aim of any self-respecting New Romantic: the Emulator of Howard Jones, the fearsome Synth Axe of Jan Hammer and the fabled Moog of Numan.

James is currently up a tree in Cramlington, observing the mating habits of the grey squirrel. Last word was that he was "meditating on the meaningless of reality and the absurdity of existence".

I meanwhile am in the middle of mixing a batch of new songs for the band, which may surface some time next month perhaps.

Now, a little bit more reverb needed here I think...

The Rigg go Anime for new video!

Prepare to have your flabbers completely ghasted by this astonishing interpretation of The Rigg's Girl Who Cried Wolf.

Put together in the space of one night as a result of a chance meeting on MySpace with the man they call Lifeforms; get your eye balls round this beauty.

Make sure you visit his YouTube and MySpace pages too.
