'Get up out of ya rockin' chair grandma!'

Tonight I'm heading out to the lovely town of Malton, which I am just going to assume is for the ambassadors reception at the Derwent Arms. I was told, but err... sigh ...you know.

Anyway, Nighthawk is loaded up with a bunch of stuff that makes old fashioned sounds, and just under half its oil sump capacity (maybe I'll look at that). Speaking of which, I even have breakdown cover this year (no offence Nighthawk, neither one of us is getting any younger).

I will see you there; statistically unlikely, but if I do, space permitting, I will be running Street Fighter II on the games box!! Get in!! (development/testing started in the 80s on SFII and that's what I'm going with, so don't come at me.)

Potential choices primed for the journey music are:

Introducing the hardline according to Terance Trent Derby or Soul II Soul, Club Classics Volume One.

Which would you choose?

Trick question, there's time for both!

We have some stock left of our Super Exclusive Mega Rad Unisex Tee Shirts. This is your last chance to own a piece of South Yorkshire-based Light Entertainment history. We've mercilessly SLASHED the price straight down the middle, reducing them to £10 plus a bit of postage. We have S/M/L left, message us if you'd like one!

That's a wrap! Here's Gig #1 and Gig #274 side by side. We've driven 20,000 miles, played 36 million notes and earned in excess of £300 each. What a feeling!

Dear Friends,

The time has come to close the doors at Miami Twice HQ! After 5 years of relentless gigging it's time to seek out pastures anew. Thanks to all the artists, promoters, agents, venues and fans who've supported us over the years and helped us avoid full-time employment. We have 6 gigs left in the diary at which we'll be performing our usual array of '80s massive banger classic mega hits. See you there for one last hurrah?

Sincerely,
Rio Rodrigo & Lance Berkeley

What was your favourite thing about the 1980s?

Not everyone realises this but I have to go through 6 hours of Mullet Maintenance before each and every show to ensure optimum bounce. Thanks to Sam Christie for this stunningly cinematic side-stage footage. Yes we'll be entering it into Festival de Cannes and yes it will probably win.

On Friday night we had the honour of opening for legendary BBC broadcaster Gary Davies at The Picturedrome, Holmfirth. Thank you to the wonderful people of Holmfirth for making it a night to remember, and thanks to The Gig Cartel for putting us on these incredible shows!
