Our visit to Greece was amazing. Thanks so much to Nikos, Lydia, Noiselust and all our friends in Athens/Thessaloniki. See pics at our myspace page.

Thanks to Orange Goblin again for showing us a good time in the capital at their Christmas show last weekend. Was killer, cheers guys.

See you all next year. Taint of South Wales.

Autumn news!
Appologies for the lack of recent updates. We've been busy with the band and lives for the past coupla months, and I hate to admit it, but our myspace page is easier to update.

SO, the shows with Mondo Generator were fun, our slot at Ieperfest in Belgium was fun, the recent shows in Wales were great, the video shoot for 'Drunken Marksman' was also fun and should be in post-production in the next few weeks. Yes, there was swords, guns and blood. Killer.

We're getting ready for a show in Cardiff with Baroness and Torche on Oct. 25th and then shows in Bristol, Athens and Thessaloniki in November. Yes, we're going to GREECE! We can't wait to sink a few Gyros with all you MALAKAS! Check shows page for more details.

Then, we're going to carry on writing for the next album. We have 7 songs so far, and are happy that the material is a definate progression from 'Roma'. Some song titles are 'Barnstorn Zombie Revival', 'Mass Appeal Sadness' and 'Goddamn This City'.

Check out our myspace page for some recent photos, and for all the lovely things people have to say about us. www.myspace.com/taintuk

Soon forks.

Back from tour, more shows this summer
Hi all, we're back from tour (a few weeks ago now actually) and all is good. We had a killer time in Europe with our new bros Blutch and got devastated everynight with our partners in crime Knut.

The Uk was fun too, and we have to thank all the great individuals who helped us in hours of need. Our bacon was saved. Thanks Skywalker, Doris, Julien, Dave, and to everyone who put us up. To read the eventful blog go here - Taint tour blog

There will be loads of additions to the photo/video page very soon. Once all footage has been gathered.

We're hitting a few festivals this year, which is pretty damn mindblowing (re: Hellfest). We're joinging some incredible bands, and will inevitably return home drunk and sun-burnt. There may be some more Uk dates announced soon, so keep your eyes peeled. Check out the shows page for more details.
