greetings,

it's the first of the month so you know what that means??! yes, indeedy, it's time for your monthly installment of the spit like this / smell your mum newsletter. what better way to spend an evening than reading up on the mischief and mayhem that has gone on in our little universe and also to find out exactly how you can be involved. it's been another busy month for us - we've made a lot of new friends, a lot of new enemies and have generally caused little tornados of chaos wherever we have gone. so, take a chill pill, sit back and read on my friends, read on....

a quick word about spam... this is something we're not into. if you have received this mailing it is because either a) you joined the mailing list, dummy! b) you contacted us for a free sticker c) you're on our street team d) you've bought something from us at some point over the last few months. so, that's fair enough. each and every one of you contacted us first. however, if you want to remove yourself (in the process, of course, you will be left to burn in a smouldering pit of your own fecal matter), just click on the link at the very bottom of the page...

spit like this finally get their boner!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
we would like to formally introduce you to the sixth member of spit like this - the boner! what the fuck is it, i hear you cry. well, it's our new runaround. our daily driver. a daimler ds420 hearse, famous for taking lady diana on her final journey and now infamous for being the mode of transport for the best, loudest and coolest rock n roll band this side of the 1980's!

we've made a couple of subtle changes to the webshite so now the boner has it's own very own page. you can keep up to date on it's progress as we're gradually doing things to it. it's being signwritten with all our logos in the next week or so and we're gonna have a coffin made for the back to stick a big fuck-off sound system in. a load of people have asked us if this is the only car we have - i would like to answer this question once and for all. THIS IS IT boyz and girlz. this is the car we drive around in every fucking day. this takes us to gigs and takes us to the supermarket. we're not a pretend rock n roll band, this is the real deal and this is our big fucking boner!!

spit like this at the peel
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
did a great gig at the peel in kingston on the 14th of june. a big thank you to every one of you that got off your arses and came to see us - we made a lot of new friends that night and had a fucking ball!

we'd like to take this opportunity to say a few thankyou's... 1st of all, of course, big thanks to paul and david at edgewise promotions for putting us on... thanks to the peel for not pulling the plug on us and saying really nice things in their promo material... thanks to kharkov diners, symbiotic and jack's family - always a pleasure and thanks to bupesh and charlotte for a great review and for great pictures. the image on the left is courtesy of charlotte and we're hoping to get her to take some pix of us and the boner soon!! the biggest thanks has to go to everyone that put their hands in their pockets to come and see us - i know it was worth it!!!! and a hello to steve - thanx for the booze and i haven't forgotten about the freebie tee!

a plea for more gigs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
look, in case you haven't guessed right now, we love playing live and, to top it all, we're one of the best goddam live bands on the circuit at the moment. we have a small problem though, we hardly know any promotors and need more gigs or a tour! we have thousands of fans around the country and need to let them see what we're about live.

so, if you are a venue owner / promotor / band member / anyone that can give us a gig, help get us a gig or know someone that can, puh-leeeeeez get in touch! if you put spit like this on, you can be guaranteed of one thing - we will put on the best fucking show we can and always give 150%. so, drop us a line to rocklikefuck@spitlikethis.com

smell your mum in ladsmag
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
did you see it?? and wasn't it the grossest thing ever??! the sunday sport did us proud by sticking some smell your mum t-shirts in ladsmag next to porno pix of the sickest old biddy you've ever seen with her various bits out! click on the link below, if you dare...

over 18's only!

is it legal?? who cares!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
always wanting to be the first to push the boundaries of decency and good taste, we would like to show you the latest smell your mum flyers. we call 'em the sex n death flyer. now, we don't want to end up in pris - after all, you can't cause anarchy from behind bars, so we can only give these out to over 18's but these have to be amongst the sickest flyers ever produced by anyone anywhere!!

if you're on our street team and want a batch, you know how to get in touch. if you want to join our street team, drop a line to street@spitlikethis.com with your address and how many flyers and stickers you reckon you can hand out. in the meantime, take a while to check this shit out!

only click if over 18

goddam thieves everywhere!

picked up a copy of kerrang! the other day. what did i see?? some cheeky phone company had nicked the smell your mum logo for you to download as a screensaver! did they ask us? NO. did they pay us? NO. cheeky motherfuckers. they were also flogging it on loads of their sites. anyway, we've stopped them now - we hate cunts that rip you people off. i just hope not too many people downloaded it. it was not endorsed by us and was a total rip off. having said that, very cool to think that, with your help, our logo is reaching legendary status!! big thanks guys - you all fucking rock!!!!

spit like this on fame academy??!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
well, it was never gonna happen from our point of view but we were asked. well, more precisely, z was asked. yes, it seems the powers that be at the bbc heard about this 'musical genius with fuck you tattooed on his arms' and thought it would be a good idea to stick him in the next fame academy house with a bunch of wannabes. did he agree?? did he fuck! z is a man of principles, even if those principles have questionable moral stances, but fame academy? fuck, that is one line that will NOT be crossed!!!

z's final thought
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
hey, i feel like jerry springer! maybe i should make this a regular. anyway, yet again i find myself thanking you all. every month i get such a kick when i see the mailing list grow, the street team grow, the cd sales rise, the emails flooding in, getting recognised in the streets. it just blows my mind. i've tried to think about why we are getting so popular so quickly. i can only think that is boils down to one thing - WE ARE FOR REAL. what you see is what you get. most bands out there just pretend. but with us, there is no pretence. we live and breath this 24/7. we're doing this with or without you. most bands out there are contrived, manufactured and weak. i visit other bands websites and they delete or censor the expletives. fuck that shit - i don't censor expletives, i have them tattooed on me!

at the end of the day, take us or leave us, love us or hate us, you can't ignore us and we're not going away. there are a fuck of a lot of you out there that are just like us. you're misunderstood and you get abuse the second you step outside your front door. and it's time to take a stand and yell FUCK YOU from the rooftops to every motherfucker that has ever got in your way and taken the piss coz of the music you like, the way you dress or the friends you have. well, not only do we actively encourage you to yell FUCK YOU, we give you the tools to do it!! free stickers?? we gottem and we give them to you. free flyers?? we gottem and we give them to you. what do we ask in return?? nothing. we just want you to let the world know that you are not taking any more shit and you are not going down without a fucking fight! >>>>>>>SPIT LIKE THIS - BECAUSE WE CAN<<<<<<<<<<
WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
so, until next time, ROCK LIKE FUCK and, on behalf of causing general global chaos, think of one thing you can deliberately do in the next month that will rock the establishment. however small. we're hearing about people sticking 'spit like this say go fuck yourself' stickers on teachers cars - well, that kind of thing. they are establishment, they are authority and YOU MUST QUESTION ESTABLISHMENT, QUESTION AUTHORITY and ask yourself why??? so why not drop us a line and let us know what you're planning or what you've done. and if you need more stickers or flyers or want to join the street team, you know who to call....

ROCK LIKE FUCK!!!!!!!
