Gallows tour of Wagamamas UK

There hasn't been much catering on this tour, so we pretty much just eat Wagamamas everyday. Either that or Pizza Express or Nandos.

Sheffield Wagamamas was possibly the worst dining experience any of us have ever had. Stu won a free Kirin Ichi Ban Beer tshirt, though even that wasn't enough to make up for their complete shit service and rubbish food. Pizza Express in Nottingham last night was definitely not an Express. It stopped at every station on the line from London to Nottingham. It took 40 minutes for our starters to arrive... Poor effort Pizza Express Nottingham.

Still waiting. Unimpressed.

It hasn't been all bad though! Wagamamas in Nottingham served us up a feast. Good shit.

An old favourite! Ebi Katsu. Note the wedge of lime and delicious chilli sauce accompaniment.

Can't remember the name of this one that Stu got, but it is DE-LICIOUS.

Other than that, we have been partying quite a bit. Stu and Lags are carrying the party torches. We went out in Glasgow the other night to a club called The Cat House. It had about seven rooms and one was filled with metal dudes shredding air guitar, non-stop. We then went out to a club in Newcastle called Crash. It is basically Snitch/Thriller but filled with (if it is even possible) more sluts... There were in fact girls paid to dance on platforms. The DJ played Gallows and Everytime I Die while we were all in there and the boys enjoyed seeing what were essentially strippers dancing to their songs. Good times.

We're in Nottingham at the moment. I have a stomach ache from a shitty fry up at the Premier Inn hotel this morning. I should feel great after sleeping in a hotel bed for two nights instead of the bus, but instead I have been sitting on the toilet for most of the morning. Bad scene, Premier Inn's fault.

Everytime I Die have been killing it every night. They play Floater which makes me happy. Andy is a complete dude and so is Josh. So far Rolo Tomassi, Throats, Blackhole and Hexes have opened the shows. All brilliant.

Nottingham Rock City - about to load in.

RESET YOUR DONGLE!

Newcastle ABC. There was a concession stand this night so I watched the guys play and then dived during the last song. Destroyer.

I got a tie dye tshirt from my friends Liena and Neil. They play in a band called The Lock And Keys. Listen to them.

Things that we have been doing on the bus:

Listening to Big Business.
Playing Golden Axe and Streets Of Rage.
Watching Sean Connery movies.
Youtubing the following. Incredible.

  1. "Sheffield Wagamamas was possibly the worst dining experience any of us have ever had" - have the waiters/waitresses started trying to sell single red roses?
