MORE GIGS TO BE ANNOUNCED AS WE BOOK THEM

GERMAN TOUR

We returned from our German tour on Sunday after a whirlwind 7 shows in 8 days - with one day where we sneaked in and played in Prague in the Czech Republic. We had a great time and met some wonderful people everywhere we went. Although we'll do a dedicated thank you list soon and hook you all with a travelog of what we got up to complete with many many flyers, pictures etc, we must take this opportunity to offer up our warmest thanks to Oli Moosman and Diana Schuler of Randale records for all the hard work and effort they put in with their organisation, persistence, driving, lack of sleep and patience waiting for Andy to come out of the khazi, have a shower or finish his fag.

WE THANK YOU

We should hopefully be in a position to utilise some of the contacts we made with more trips back to Germany and beyond later in the year.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Hopefully you've all been checking out our MySpace page where Frankie does occasional updates and masterminds the topical Yob-blog and where MySpace friends can leave us messages. There are tunes, the history of the band, plenty of photos and Frank's entertaining and colourful missives on life, the universe and Street Rock'n'Roll

Check http://www.myspace.com/superyoblondonuk

------------------------------------------

Remember we also still have our MySpace site dedicated to championing the cause of the everyday football fan in the money-centric world of the beautiful game. It features our still-unreleased anthem 'Sweet F.A' - pop in and give it a listen.

Go to http://www.myspace.com/superyobsweetfa for your listen. Remember though, this site is for those interested enough to join in our protest against the rip-off culture of British Football.

Feedback has been good, but please feel free to drop us a line here at Yob Towers to let us know what you think. If anyone is involved in the sporting media and thinks there may be an avenue for widening the listening circle of the song - again, please drop us a line.

---------------------------------------------------

We ended the latter half 2007 on a high gig-wise, with some glorious trips overseas which finally broke Micky Drummer in.....both behind the drum kit and in front of the bar would you believe.

We were invited to play at the newly invigrated Moloko Bar in Bruges in Belgium in late July supported by Code 1 and although there were a few transport problems courtesy of Lee Brett's inabiliity to work a petrol pump which lead to Code 1 headlining, it was business as usual on all fronts in Bruges......good company, lots of beer, Charlie Rocket's and a bleary eyed journey home.

--------------------------------------------------

Thanks to Ecke and all the organisers of Oi! The Meeting at Conne Island in Leipzig in September. We had a wondeful weekend enjoying splendid German hospitality in the shape of unlimited beer. Frankie stole the first night with a solo piano show which had people hanging from the guy ropes in the after-show party tent, and saw Haystacks drunkenly break dancing to the Flame Roadshow - before being generously 'assisted' back to the hotel by Rich and Andy from Scum - all a bit tired and emotional. Drummer got his first Yob battle scar by falling face first into a prickly bush after attempting the world Jagermesiter and Bundaburg cocktail drinking competition.

The Yob performed on the second night to a large and enthusiastic audience before finding the bar where all the free Becks was hiding.

A great event - with no trouble, a great mix of bands from all over the world and an excellent atmosphere....we look forward to coming back and playing again this year.

--------------------------------------------------

The first ever Superyob shows in The Emerald Isle were booked courtesy of our good mates Runnin' Riot. We played a show in Belfast at The Front Page and at the Lower Deck in Dublin in late October. We were truly gratified to see the amount of good friends who came over to see the shows and again, we look forward to returning. Thanks to Colin, Marty, Ralph and Dan for their hospitality and assistance. Hail the spirit of the Rubber Chicken!!!

This was Sid's final ever gig for Superyob.....all the best big fella...we hope you find happiness.

--------------------------------------------------

With Sid's final departure from the band we had to find ourselves a new bass player. On the recommendation of Sir Terence Hayes of the EAST END BADOES we have invested in the 4 string skills of Andy Nicholas.....professional gardener type chap and an expert on apples. He is badly in need of a decent haircut and occasionally plays with The Gonads, but even with those things against him we think he's an all right fellow. I'll put up a photo once we have one that passes the haircut censor at Flame Mansions.

Andy's debut gig was with us in Valencia in December as guests of Pablo and the local barmy army. It was our second year in a row to be kindly invited to play their Christmas Party and we had a fine weekend, with a rock solid debut performance from Andy and a fantastic time being had by all. Shame the weather was poo, but that didn't stop Andy from 'over-hydrating' on the first night and conking out under the pool table in the venue where Frank was doing his solo party show. Drummer was also seen deep in conversation with an inflatable female guest at the bar during said performance.

Andy's second gig was the Haystacks 40th Birthday Bash at The Bear and Ragged Staff in Crayford in January. This also featured The Dog Roses and Strumpet and was a glorious display - marking Drummer's fist ever gig in his home town in front of family and friends. A roaring success with a good turnout from those coming form near and far to enjoy the evening. Even Sheffield Dave managed to stay awake to finish his curry and round off the evening by producing a bottle of shampoo to toast the birthday boy.

 

Yes ladies and gents, the 4th SUPERYOB album is finally with us. Nearly 2 years in concept and construction we finally presented it to thr record company just in time at the end of February. It has been released by our good friends Oli and Diana at RANDALE RECORDS based in the Black Forest area of Southern Germany. There are 13 songs which encompass the variety of styles of music which bind the sound of SUPERYOB together - all delivered in our usual direct and uncompromising fashion. Some people who've heard it have labelled it a concept album - well, if a personalised critique of the melting pot of ingredients which has contributed to and continues to contribute to the fabric of our British society is a concept then so be it. We're proud of it and hope you will be too. The 12 original songs and 1 cover were recorded at SHACK STUDIOS in Essex with the saintly influence of our good friend Grant Matthews at the controls. The tunes were penned by the formidable pairing of Flame/McVicar with Pat assuming the role of Executive Producer. Our customary cover doffs our cap to the work of The Sweet. It is available on CD and also on standard black and coloured vinyl. Thanks to those who helped contribute :- Jim Thompson on fiddle and bazouki. Jeff and Phil McD for backing vocals. Stodge for his work in arranging and demo-ing. Degz for his usual work of genius in translating our ideas into something that looks as good as it does. And of course Grant.... TRACK LIST 1. QUALITY STREET 2. CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME 3. LONDON PRIDE 4. LIVE FOR TODAY 5. CHAMPAGNE SOCIALIST 6. NAVVY IN A KAFTAN 7. BANK HOLIDAY 8. JOHNNY DEMPSTER 9. TIMEBOMB 10. CITIZEN SMITH 11.

As part of the release of the new album we were kindly invited over to Germany to play a release party at the Randale Records headquarters of Forellenstube in Shramberg. It also coincided with Oli's birthday so it was a right old knees up. We shared the bill with 2 cracking bands - our good friends The Veros from France and the mighty Evil Conduct from Holland. The highlight of the evening was the 'Yob trying to teach a bunch of drunken German and Swiss skinheads the 'Okey Cokey'. Frank has no plans whatsoever to re-record his own version called the 'Oi!key COi!key'. ---------------------------------------------------

You can still get copies of the latest all newBritish Oi! Com . Look out for our track 'Rough Justice'. Check out www.ascalon-records.com for details of how to get hold of a copy.

I came across these choice nuggets for your perusal from YouTube. See what you think of Frankie posing in front of the camera courtesy of the handiwork of Colin from The Vanilla Muffins. He's kept these well under his titfer.

Friday On My Mind

On Yer Bike

This last one was recorded by our good chum Johnny D on our US tour in 2004 in Providence, Rhode Island, and is actual evidence than Haystacks CAN play the solo in the song and it wasn't studio trickery.
