Who's Ross?!?!

WOAH! Thats been a week without a real update. Hope everyone enjoyed the weekend as much as I did! A big thank you to Mel for the party and a big fuck off to John for nearly ruining everyone's night. Met some well cool people and drunk shit loads of Vodka, was so good I can't even remember Friday night! Been to work today but my boss decided I was too tired to do any work so we came home early. Thats when you really know it was a good party.
Elizabeth has written a ramble on the reviews page which frankly is a load of super funny bollocks!

IMPORTANT: Vote for your favourite local band Killers On Camera at http://www.xfm.co.uk/unsigned in an unsigned bands showcase.

Chair Rob!

This weekend was fookin cool. Really good to see everyone in such a pleasing mood on Friday night. Sick people always make it feel better!
That band Straw Geese were pretty cool and Viper Suzas and Furtherafield were great from what I could hear. Roundy gigs are the best, I just wish more people in the pub would actually watch the bands cos there are some really great yet simple bands in the local area at the moment.

Heres a few extra tasty mp3 downloads for you to get your hands clapping and your feet jumping.

If you would like to add anything to the page just email it to me and I'll chuck it on there.Doesn't matter what it sounds or looks like as long as it' something you are passionate about. http://thetradersreviews.blogspot.com/
The weekends photos are being put on to cd as we speak so expect to see them tomorrow(hopefully!).

What's Hideous

Got the photos developed today, but for some haggard reason my scanner is being a complete biatch, so you will all have to wait until tomorrow(or even longer probably) for me to get them put on to CD. They all look good though. Get that bloody digital camera out next time Rossti!!!
In the mean time check out http://www.domewebthings.com/ for Do Me Bad Things downloads. Got the album today and it's fookin marvellous. Highly reccomended if you like B-52's, big bands and soul-metal! They call them a gimmick band, well so do I and I like it!
Also in good news Mr Peter Doherty has seen all charges against him dropped-http://www.nme.com/news/111983.htm. Hope this is the last of his troubles. Expect a Babyshambles album in July hopefully without bloody Kate Moss backing vocals. In related news-maybe a solo album for Mr Carlos Barat in October. Libetines reunion in time for Christmas? Dream on!

George Benson-Argh! (in-joke!)

This weekend was an amazingly joyous affair. The Selecter on Friday was excellent. The lead singer may have been a bit of an arse, but the music was good and the dancing was happening. Nice to see Chris off his face and cheers to Fij for a good talk outside. Brighton with Liz, Louise and Ross was brilliant, and the day was topped off by celebrating Rob's 18th at the Roundy and some super crazy arse drunk indie dancing. Great to see Miles and Kelly come down. Cheers to Ross for Brighton. Expect photos soon.

The Traders Photos And Obscure Images


Why don't you take a look at the new photos and obscure images page, we will hopefully get our first "non-stolen from watly dirt photos" up after this weekend. You can find a link to the page in the links section. I like this pic! Posted by Hello

Old Enough To Know Better


Is it me, or is Barry Futurehead too sexy for his own good?!?!?! Posted by Hello

Pub quiz, hmmmm?

As last nights pub music quiz at the Wendover Arms was such a Traders dissapointment, I reckon we should make it a monthly Traders outing. Was a terrible bundle of joy. We need to bring some musical respect to our name! Who's up for next months quiz?!
Everyone seen the latest additions to Reading Festi? If not, check 'em out here http://http://www.nme.com/news/111925.htm. There's not actually many bands on the bill that I would be hugely excited about seeing. The Arcade Fire (http://www.arcadefire.com/) and Babyshambles of course will have to be seen! Hopefully the Carling tent should be as good as last year. Killers On Camera should get an early slot there, they're the kind of band that would go down well.

Moon man and Murray (hope the drumming is going well Rev!). Sorry for stealing photos Chris, will get some of our own soon! Posted by Hello

You can now reach the site via www.thetraders.tk which will make it easier for those of you who don't have the best memories (Ross, Chris!!!).
So, Rob has suggested a Marlow pub crawl on Saturday which I'm well up for! Plenty of pubs in Marlow which means plenty of pints ("pint a pub" I reckon!). If everyone comes it'll be a brilliant night.

This upcoming weekend.....

....Friday night the legendary Selecter are on at The Horse, as we haven't represented down there in a while it would be great to go down. Saturday night is Rob's 18th(don't forget it people!), what you wanna do for that one? Rye gathering? Roundy? Heft are on at The Horse but theres no way I'm going to that! What's the deal with funk-metal? Didn't funk die at the end of the 70's?!

Dear.....the world

Who are the traders?

The Traders are a group of heroes, villains and ghoules that live in a dark and mysterious town going by the name of High Wycombe. They're funny, contrary, argumentative and a little bit insane. The Traders have been on the wanted list of local vandals for a year but have never been tracked down by the government. Taking inspiration from anyway possible the crew bend the rock n' roll lifestyle to snapping point. Where will they all end up? Who will they all become? Why do they stick together? How do they all look so freakin' cool?
There are many stories to be told and many more to be never told again. The Traders will live forever.
