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!
