A great big 'Cheers!!! Nice one!!!' to everyone
who came out on a treacherous night to the Circus Tavern for
the Cockney Rejects 30th Anniversary knees up. What a fantastic
night, with faces from all over the world making the trip for
a groundbreaking show. All the bands rocked hard and the Rejects
were incredible. Thanks for everyone who came and said hello
at our merch table and sung along to our set. Cheers to Nick
and Tom for their organisational skills.
Haystacks gave the debut performance of the
SUPERYOB guitar...look out for more of these next year.

Thanks you also to all the people who made
our first trip to Italy such a memorable experience. It was
a hard weekend without any sleep, but it was worth it. We got
a great reception and have already been invited back next year
- with possibly a string of Italian dates. Thanks to Luca, Miki
and the Double Knockout drinking crew, Pierpaulo and his team
and also the other bands - Pinta Facile (beware of angry cats
Lorenzo), Roll Call (Strength of the Sardinian Nation!!!), Automatica
Aggrezzione, GTA and Feccia Hardcore.

The eagerly awaited double gatefold vinyl
release of DOUBLE TROUBLE on Randale Records has been put back
to January 2010. We apologise for this:- it's due to some problems
with artwork templates which we are trying to resolve as soon
as we can. Initial copies will come with a very limited bonus
EP featuring 5 ultra-rare Superyob tracks from way back in the
day - remastered and unique.
-------------
As some of you may or may not know, next year
is the 15th Anniversary of Superyob's existance. To celebrate
this, we are in the very early stages of planning 'YOBSTOCK'
- an all-dayer in London featuring some of the cream of the
crop of European Punk/Oi! bands. We've been speaking with a
venue which is interested and we've sounded out some of our
favourite bands to try to pencil in some workable dates. Proposed
date at the moment isSaturday July 17th. We'll nail down some
more solid details after the Festive Season.
-------------
We still have tentative plans to record a football
based EP for next year to coincide with the 2010 World Cup.
Watch this space. Starting in the new year, we'll be starting
to arrange and demo some brand new material for this and the
next album. We'll let you know how it's sounding.
-------------
Good news for our Finnish chums is that over
several beers in the pub in Crayford last week, Jani was persuaded
to push for a re-jigged Superyob visit to Tampere for June 2010.
It will likely be with The
Charred Hearts. Watch this space for updates.
--------------
Copies of our 3rd album Ghetto Blaster have
again run out due to huge demand. We are in the process of securing
some more copies from the USA. We will announce when they are
again available.
--------------
We have our first gig of 2010 courtesy of that
fine upstanding gentleman Sheffield Dave. We've been invited
back to The Snooty Fox in Wakefield on June 5th. Likely support
will be from the exceptional Skinfull + Insane Youth.
More UK shows announced as we get 'em.
-------------
Plans are also afoot for European gigs for
2010. We're looking at a bunch of German dates around late March
or early April and maybe extend it to some other countries.
We're actively scouting around for shows in Greece, France,
Portugal and Italy. We're also hoping to go back to Sweden and
Spain if circumstances allow. If anyone has any leads or suggestions
for gigs in Europe please drop us a line to comeplayinmycountryyouenglishpigs@superyob.com.
We've also been invited back to the USA next September for some
shows, but that's very much in the planning stages.
-------------
We're delighted to announce that Andy Bass
and his delightful other half Pinkie are now proud parents to
Charlotte. Mum, baby and knackered Dad are all doing gloriously
well. We wish them all the best.
-------------
Things are progressing with the imminent release
of AGGROPHOBIA for the first time in vinyl courtesy of
Bob and Sean at ROCK
& ROLL DISGRACE RECORDS in the USA. Everything is
complete and they are looking at a mid January release. Test
pressings are currently being perused by members of the Boston
MA musical elite. Although this will be a USA/Canada only release,
we will have a very limited amount of import copies available
here in the UK, so those of you who still cherish the sacred
vinyl will have a chance to get copies. Check out their blog
here....http://rnrdisgrace.blogspot.com/
.
The projected release of the US vinyl version
of Machine Guns & Alcohol will follow hot on the heels of
the AGGROPHOBIA release.
------------
Talking of ROCK & ROLL DISGRACE RECORDS
they are also putting out the newly released album by Haystacks'
other band THE CONCRETE GODS. Entitled 'Welcome to the
Empire Club' it's out now on Underground London Records in Europe.
It's the Gods' follow up to 'Anglo-Centric Generation' and it's
as stonking slab of Mod/Punk. Check out the Gods MySpace
page for details of how to get a copy and their upcoming gigs.

product. Details below and on the MERCH
