I have butterflies

I have butterflies swirling around in my stomach and as a result I am not sleeping very well and when I do I constantly dream of being on stage, which isn't a bad thing. We are counting down the days until we go to Italy, 3 now. There is still so much to do, like sorting out what clothes and shoes I am going to take, getting some euros, going to Tony and Guy in Winchester, where the nice people are going to spruce us up and I guess getting all our equipment together.

It will be odd gigging with out the assistance of our roadie, Mr Richard Reeves, it means I will have to lift stuff. I just had a look on google map to see where exactly we are going. Milan, Cesena and Grosseto are all quite far apart, so looks like we will be spending a lot of time on the road. It should make a nice change from the usual roads such as the M3, M25, M6 and A34 (I hate that road).

With so much to do I guess I should get on and do stuff, I think I shall start to pack my suitcase, which is always a pain trying to keep it under the weight limit.

Plastic Toys Tour and Album Release

Wednesday 2 January 2008

Happy New Year

2007 has gone and what a year it was for us. Highlights for Plastic Toys included loads of gigs all over the country and going to PopKomm in Germany, where we met and played with Hanoi Rocks. We also managed to get our first single "Let Me Feel the Love" into the top 30 singles chart, all by our own hard work. Unfortunately, there was one low point when Mike decided to leave us to focus on his own music, but we soon found Ben and it feels better than ever.
2008 is going to be a hectic one. In a few days time we are jetting off to Italy to play a few dates out there. I can't wait, I love Italy and going on aeroplanes:) Though I can't decide on how large a suitcase to take, as I am hoping to hit the shops in Milan and stock up on other Italian treats. Then we get back to head off around the UK supporting My Ruin and Die So Fluid. February 4th is the release date for our debut album "For Tonight Only". We have already had some really positive reviews about it. I can't wait for you all to hear it, we are very proud of it and relieved that it is finally going to be heard. I would reccommend that you get the CD version, as the artwork is so cool and you can check me out in my nurses outfit. If you get one of the first 500 copies then you are in for an extra treat. The rest of 2008 will consist of more touring around the UK and Europe.
Thank you to everyone that has come to see us, bought the single and given us their support in 2007. Hope you all have a happy and successful 2008!

Getting There

Well hello,

My blogging is pretty crap to be honest, so I thought I should write something just to let you know that I am still here and thinking about these things. In the next few days I will be posting photos and stuff to keep you entertained for a few minutes.

It's been a long time....

It's been far too long since I last blogged. Life has been pretty hectic, a lot of things have changed and the future is looking pretty good.

Since my last post, we (Plastic Toys) went to Berlin and played at PopKomm, which was so much fun and as a result of that, things band wise have really picked up. 2008 will hopefully be the year that it really, properly starts. It is going to be hard work, but at last it feels that what we are aiming for is within our grasp.

Personally, I am just trying to get myself sorted for all the band stuff. I need to get up off my bum and start to get fit, mega fit. I am one of those people that just cannot do gyms. I must have joined about five by now, but just cannot stick to it. Over the past couple of days I have started to research into other forms of exercise that aren't anywhere near as dull. So far my list consists of; Pole Dancing, Fencing, Mountain Biking, Yoga, Pilates and Spin Classes. The only problem now is how do I fit them into my busy life and also how do I keep motivated? Answers on a postcard please.

I feel that I should attach some photos, but I will save that for next time (always keep them wanting more!).
