June 2007

We felt it was about time we put something new on the website, so here goes a news update.

Firstly, we have to be honest and say that things have been moving rather slowly in the Badoes camp.

G&R - LONDON
EAST END BOYS WENT UP WEST!

  30th June at London's Mean Fiddler
the East End Badoes were guests of the

COCKNEY REJECTS

SCROLL DOWN FOR MORE GIGS!

Due to personal circumstances, Dave has been unable to fulfil his commitments on the drums, so for the interim Tarik (Viva Las Vegas) is filling in, with Cherry (Code 1) also helping out. Big thanks to both guys and their respective bands. We have added Dave Yob as a second guitarist, although this is subject to his commitments with Superyob and the Concrete Gods.

As you can see from elsewhere on the Website, we are playing with the Cockney Rejects at the Mean Fiddler on 30th June. This promises to be a right old knees up, with the Rejects promoting their new album.
The weekend before (Sat 23rd June) we have another real cracker, playing the 12 Bar with Concrete Gods, Runnin Riot, Superyob and Viva Las Vegas. This is some sort of benefit for vertically challenged folk.

Beyond that we have shows lined up at the Wasted festival in Blackpool (on Sat 11th August), with dates in Brittany, Valencia and Finland TBC. Our show with Argy Bargy at the Ace Café has been moved from July until October.

More recently we have played shows in various foreign and not so foreign climes, along with working on some new numbers which we hope to air soon.

So far this year, during February we played in Brighton (thanks to Lee Brett for organising that one) and the Berlin Punk & Disorderly Festival (thanks to Marc, Elli, Errol etc). In March we managed to play the aftershow party for the Dropkick Murphys St Paddy's day shows. Only half the band made the trip (myself & Tel), so we borrowed Dave Superyob & Matt Kelly from the Dropkicks. The crowd certainly enjoyed it, despite the blizzard conditions (8.5 inches of snow) and despite Tel's daughter mistaking a hole for a puddle (consequently disappearing up to her neck in water!). Special thanks to Dave H, Matt K, Dropkick Murphys, Tommy & the Terrors (great band) & the Tampoffs (another great band), Brother Colin from the Riot & Rick Barton. Fantastic weekend.

A mention also has to go to the Concrete Jungle festival organisers (especially Simon & Unagh), for another cracking weekend - looking forward to next year already. A further 12 Bar show was also slipped in on Friday 13th April.

Finally, thanks to Darren Russell for putting us on at Rebellion Amsterdam in the Melkweg, for what really was a truly 'wasted' weekend.

Dom/East End Badoes

P.S. we might eventually get around to doing the album!

PREVIOUS NEWS ITEMS

December 2006

It's been some months now since we've had our website up and running, although due to a long struggle to get a drummer (more on that later) there's not been much to say.

However, first things first, our sincere apologies go out to both promoters and punters for us not making the recent shows in Coventry and Ashton (Manchester). This was due to problems with filling the drum stool which we thought we had covered until the last minute. The East End Badoes will endeavour to make this up in the near future.

As already mentioned, we now have a new drummer, in the shape of Dave Thompson (ex Argy Bargy, Lowlife), although due to prior commitments he will be unable to start gigging with us until the new year. Meantime we have a gig lined up at the 12 Bar Club in Denmark Street on Friday 8th December for which Tarik from Viva Las Vegas has kindly agreed to stand (sit?) in on the drum stall.
 

Next year we will be rehearsing some new numbers and have some gigs lined up (check the gigs section for regular updates).

We also have some t-shirts and badges for sale, which will be available via the website very soon.
