imp

this is a picture of physics. we found it in the room where we slept. when we were on TOUR. in london. this is our blog of the tour, this is our tour blog. IMP TOUR BLOG

we departed from this room in wakefield at approximately monday morning. if you can see some phones, a tv, a sock and some bbq sauce you're looking at the right picture, this is where it begun and where it ended.

one of the most crucial elements to any tour is preparation and the best way to prepare is to saw. even john lennon knew that the only way the beatles couild crack america was if he sawed his gorse down. later, during an acid induced trip, lennon would realise he made a mistake in cutting his gorse and that it wasnt a prerequisite for success in the USA.

tour is mainly a series of difficult and debasing events that leads to a powerful feeling of unfulfillment and anger, manifesting its self as depression, lonelyness and often dreadful feelings of ambiguity about the world; a sense that what youre attempting is meaningless and pointless. but sometimes you find yourself at a sam smiths pub boozing.

WE ASKED MIKE OUR BASS PLAYER TO SMILE, WE EVEN GAVE HIM A SMALL LITTLE PUPPY DOG AND MADE IT CHASE ITS TAIL, THEN WE DESCRIBED TO HIM THE EXCESSIVE REWARDS WAITING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF HIS GLOOM. THIS IS HIS ATTEMPT

he was later found openly laughing in public when he realised he could spell his name 'Mick' if he so wished

as our chaffeur driven mega bus arrived in london we spotted the vehicle we were suppose to enter the capital in. we ordered our current driver to follow this van but he didnt. we couldnt help but wonder who was in that van and what success and food they were enjoying and eating that was indended for our lives and mouths.

there was all of a sudden tens of people outside the venue where our gig was to be staged. did one of the other bands bring everyone to their show? why are all these people here? not for 1 second did we realise they were all here to see imp! problem was most of them had tickets to see 'fryfffthss' who were playing nearby. we found this out by asking the guy who kept shouting 'fryiffths?' at us. he couldnt read but he could very adroitly rest a small wine glass on his belly as he prowled the streets shouting 'FRYIFFTHS???!' he was infact trying to sell tickets to the punk emo rock outfit 'Thrice' we did take several picture of this wino but when we revisted them it seemed that he never actually exsisted

as no-one was at the actual gig i will unscrupulously use this image to represent the show

we found refuge in an interesting nearby winebar/kebab house place called Kentish Town Kebab and Wine Zone. here is when we hatched our plan to rent the space above the zebab zone and live in london for 6 months while touring leeds and while planning to move back to wakefield. so much more interesting things happened it would take me a bit longer to document it all so instead i'll conclude with this image which should tie up all loose ends and answer all your questions
