That’s not grump – that’s calculation, sugar, and it’s the way of the world these days – you can’t just sit back and let it pass you by anymore. We live in a pro-active society where a person’s value is decided almost entirely upon what they are worth to others. Personal thought and meditation are actively discouraged whilst sharing the mundane minutae of everyday life has become commonplace – the age of the socially-networked information super highway has given rise to masses of unnecessary, useless information, which is in turn, slowly diluting the important things that we once held dear. One’s once private thoughts are now public property, and the difference in the way in which the population, as a whole, thinks and breathes can only be described as nothing short of a revolution.

Calculation
Apple Pie & Flag Burning
If eating apple pie and talking about justice is all you ever do, then you can remove my vote from the ticket, Doris. I’ll tell you for why, shall i?
“Pray tell, dear boy and let us bask in the light of your mental carnival”
Well I don’t mind if I do (but not before I’ve checked all the angles – you see, Gerry’s all for flag burning, just so long as his castor is well oiled). And so I shall begin: it all started with a well intentioned expression of hope, but alas, as with all these things, you never can tell what will happen when the rank and file start to feel the duress of excess. Before too long, the hedge had grown too tall for the gardener and all hell had broken loose on the under-side. “You just don’t know what you got till it’s gone!” cried the hedgehog wistfully from ‘neath the berries, and with that, the wisdom of ages became the dirt beneath the fingernails of giants and ogres alike.
Not to be outdone, Hague the Iconoclast sought out all manner of force from every wretched, stinking corner of the land which is now known as apathy, and with this new model army of ennui, mundanity and lacklustre lethargy he launched his attack on all that is shining and good in the minds of the masses.
“And the outcome?”
Well, you tell me friends, for I no longer have the spirit or inclination to continue on this path.
Of course, metaphor can be a cruel beast, and much of this may, therefore, be lost on the uninformed. But you and I, my most dearest of friends, we can sail the sea of confidence, safe in the knowledge that Rusty and Philippe will have our souls locked in gods kitchen cupboard – and no-one would dare steal that which they can quite easily afford – that just wouldn’t make any sense at all now would it?
Wrapping up the Festive Period
Well merry Christmas one and all!! All of us here at DEADWAX HQ have certainly had a mighty fine Christmas and are now tearing our hair out with anticipation for the year ahead (not literally, we would never do anything like that to our own hair).
As many of you will know, all we wanted for Christmas was for a load of crazily beautiful people to come and watch us perform a banger at the all-dayer; and as many of you will also know, we must have all been very good boys this year as we certainly got what we asked for! To those of you that were there – our love for you knows no bounds, and to those that were not, where the ruddy hell were ya?!?! GET INVOLVED!!
And so, with the festive season all but over (orange tree NYE aside) we now set our sights on the brand new year. And me oh my what a year it is set to be – with a brand new EP on the way (exciting news of which will soon be released!), a new deadwax after-party HQ, and some super-safe, awesome-wicked, lets f*cking have it gigs on the way (keep checking myspace for updates) it really will be the greatest year anyone has ever had!! And as that old woman from “Coronation Street” once said: “Ken, have you seen that bit of watermelon I left on the stairs? I’ve got a killer to filler and no-one in this godforsaken place even seems to care!” To which Ken solemnly replied: “Nah, ya crazy wench, I’m off to see deadwax!” I always knew that Ken was a goodun…
Peace & Love

Deadwax have recently been announced in Sailing Sound’s top 10 upcoming bands.
“Deadwax take you back to the ‘Tripped Out 1960’s ‘, with laid back mellow grooves, with a pulse. The band puts a spring in your step, with a Lennonesque feel to it. If you want to… walk out from a gig with a real smile on your face, go and see Deadwax.”
