been asked by the mighty ken at sleazegrinder
to "write a particularly sleazy cock rock tune for
'cock n roll 2'" (a compilation cd they
do). and it's already done! within 24 hours of
being asked, a brand new ultra sleazy, ultra
tongue-in-cheek fan-fuckin'-tastic song called 'down on
you' is in the bag... will keep you up to date on the
compilation thing.
22nd may 2003 how
does she do it? vikki caused a car crash
today, and she doesn't even drive! what was she

crossing the road and the drivers were so mesmerised, they
crashed into eachother! how fuckin' funny is that??!

in touch and let ya know alot of people seem to be talkin
about spit like this around town... if you guys are

13th may 2003 top
talk dj in the usa, vince
wylde, is one of the latest to discover the world
of spit like this! just got this email from
him - "you've got an amazing voice and the cd's kick
ass. nice job! i'll definitely give you a
plug!". cheerz vince - appreciate it!
13th may 2003 this
is cool. purveyors of bad taste, the sport
newspaper, have a magazine called ladsmag.
well, they're very kindly going to give our smell your
mum tees and spit like this a plug in a
forthcoming issue! not only that, but they think the
vikkstar is "very fit and a bit dirty
looking" - hoorah! big thanx to john for making
it happen.
10th may 2003 well,
the contracts came through today... territory: the
universe. not at all over the top then!! will
we sign? well, only time will tell i guess.
time to let the scumbag bloodsucking lawyers loose!
8th may 2003 to
celebrate the fact that we have been offered a five album
deal (see below), we're putting on a show at gossips
in soho (dean st, london. just off oxford st.
tottenham court road tube station) on 15th may.
more details to follow so keep an eye on our tour page.
7th may 2003 some
big big news for you today. soooo goddamn big - the
kind of news bands dream about, especially a band like
us! we've been offered a 5 album record deal and
publishing deal!!!! nothing has been finalized yet -
as you know, we have a lot criteria for this kind of thing
- but, the company in question has *no* pop bands on it's
rosta at all - so that makes us very happy! we also
retain 100% creative control for all aspects of it.
the record company listened to over 2,000 cd's from around
the world to reach us - and they're only interested in
bands that will end up being among the top 5% in the world
(ie U2, Bon Jovi - that kind of size) and it would appear
that's us!! we've not yet signed on the dotted line
so more will be revealed soon - watch this space!
april
2003
27th april 2003 looks
like we might be at the donington download festival
at the end of may - more details to follow... also
just heard that we are going to be playing the whitby
goth festival next year. should be cool; we get
to play on a cliff face!
20th april 2003 christ
almighty, a typical night out partying with spit like
this, eh? you want the highlights?? i only wish
i'd taken a camera... copious amounts of alcohol was
consumed then we took over the dancefloor with our extreme
posing and moshing... vikki & stevie went to find a
bag of chips and ended up getting photo'd for style mag the
face... vikki attacked some guy that wouldn't
leave her alone and threatened to kill him... gilez took a
strange blue powder he got given in the bogs and was
almost instantly comatosed... z was hit on by a sexy dwarf
chick... gilez was hit on by a cocaine dealing transexual
and then raided a petrol station for snax!!
never a dull moment when you come play with us!!!
16th april 2003 surf
your way over to the latest issue of missminx.com
- they have a rather tasty interview with vikki spit
along with her chosen a-side: 'music
to to enjoy whilst kicking westlife repeatedly in the
bollocks' - fantastic stuff! big thanks
to jenny for the exposure (!)
14th april 2003 found
another review of 'anarchy for two' but it's all in
italian! we've bunged it through a translator and it
basically says that we've matured from the first ep ('the
pop shot!'), there's some blinding songs on this one, an
epic anthem (that'll be 'to the bitter end') and they
emphasised (again) that our kind of music is the music
for the new century. you can read the italian
version here,
if so inclined...
13th april 2003 just
found out that our stickers have been featured on a
canadian cable access channel - some programme about
graffitti! how fuckin' funny is that?? we have
just about the best fuckin' street team on the planet i
reckon - i don't know how you guyz n galz n ghoulz do it
but we salute you!
7th april 2003 as
from today, you can also get to our spooktacular webshite
by typing in either gothglam.co.uk or glamgoth.co.uk
- all the domains we own that point to this site are
listed at the bottom of every page - more coming soon!
3rd april 2003 received
a very nice call from a promotor who played our stuff to
the decadence crowd at gossips in soho,
london - seems the audience went 'apeshit' and 'ballistic'
for it and thought it was fucking amazing stuff.
glad to hear it! they obviously have extraordinarily
good taste!!
3rd april 2003 just
got a very favourable review for our 'anarchy for two'
ep on candyforbadchildren.com
- you can read the full review here
and go check out their webshite!

everyone, we've been running a silent competition to see
the most inventive use of our flyerz and stickerz.

with spit like this and smell your mum
stuff! he sent in the proof and today he's won a spit
like this t-shirt and guitar pick!!!! if you

tub-thumping head-smashing motherfucker of a skinster in vile
gilez. more info on the latest and final recruit

musical genre! unable to completely pinpoint exactly
what this noiz that spit like this is, xfm
dj kevin greening today said, and i quote, 'i think
you've invented a completely new genre of music: glam
goth'. so, there we have it. we might be glam
goth. and neo-porn. how kewl is

mum convert who had phoned up xfm dj kevin
greening to tell him about smell your mum and
spit like this. she emailed me to say that kevin
wanted stickers, i emailed kevin and, sure enough, got a
mail back today from him to say that he'd love some - and
a t-shirt! naturally, being self-promoting publicity
sluts, we'll be getting some spit like this cd's
off to him too in our demented effort to convince the
world that, quite frankly, we rule!!
12th february 2003
big burly noisy dirty biker magazine, 100%

dude. thanks much. so i heard the cds out
some. yes!!! u guys got the trashiest sound i ever
heard. an i don't mean to slate u sayin that. it's
pure innuendo in a bag!". well, obviously,
he has impeccable taste and we, therefore, salute him in
the only way we know how... so, have you got yours
yet?? if not, why not? bad people. it's only 3
quid. shit, i've had wanks that cost me more than
that!!
10th
february it's a
bit late, but worth a mention - our distributor has a
stand at kensington's londonedge
show (8th - 11th feb) and has reported unprecedented
interest in our smell your mum tees and the orders
are coming in thick and fast!! good news for us and
good news for you. we're gonna try and pop down
tomorrow and grab some pics. anyway, if you own a
shop that sells offensive t-shirts, you should be stocking
ours. if you're not, you're missing out and,

details on this webshite, and prepare yourself for just
under 18 minutes of sheer unadulterated pleasure!!
30th
january the cd covermount on powerplay magazine
has been put back until feb 28th - xmas post problems
meant that the mag didn't get all the stuff they needed
(from other bands, of course, not us!)
29th
january check out the latest issue of ice
magazine. page 118 is what you're looking
for where you can find a lovely half page smell your
mum and spit like this ad featuring our very
own vikki!!
28th
january as you know, one of the songs off our new
ep is going to be on the covermount cd of powerplay
magazine any time now... we thought it would
be really neat to make the version on our ep different, so
we remixed it. and it sounds fucking awesome as a
result!
27th
january issue 47 of rock
sound magazine. that's what you need to buy
if you want to stand the chance of winning one of five smell
your mum hoodies!! they're limited edition and
we have no immediate plans to make them, so keep your eyes
peeled!
25th
january brand new range of spit like this t-shirts
coming some time in feb - they're at the printers as we
speak. they'll all have the same front but there
will be three different back prints to choose from. check
'em out!
25th
january all recording for the 'anarchy for two'
ep is now finished and mixing has started. it is
fucking killer, even if i do say so myself. the
official release date has now been confirmed as thursday
30th january so get your pennies ready!!
22nd
january just been forwarded a link to an auction on ebay
for a cd of one of my old bands, penthouse suite.
the bit i like the best is the seller describing me, z, as
a 'musical mastermind'! someone that recognises
sheer brutal talent when they hear it. eh?? eh??!!
14th
january just released the artwork for the new ep,
'anarchy for two', released end of the month. i
knocked it up last night and think it's rather fucking
cool. go examine the covers and see what goodies you
can uncover!!
11th
january we have a half page ad coming out in ice
magazine later this month (a cross between loaded and
bizarre). it's mainly for our tees but i thought i'd
mention it as the star of the ad is our very own vikki!
to view the ad, click here.
10th
january the new look spit like this webshite
officially went live today. we do everything on this
site ourselves so, if you get in touch, it is us that will
see it, not a webmaster. there's a fuck load of
exploring to be done and some real neat things so go start
being nosey!
it
may be early days, but here's some of the things we can
look forward to over the next month or so: cd cover mount on powerplay
magazine... competition in rocksound
magazine... competition on total
rock radio and, most importantly, the pre-release
limited edition version of our 2nd ep, "anarchy
for two" - we had a photo session for that
recently for the cover - not going to reveal anything
just yet but, rest-assured, it will be as decadent as the
last. we'll probably post some out-takes from that
on this webshite very soon!
