- One of the mainline bands that are currently using spare tickets to snort coke

Here are a few photos of Revenge of the Lawn's eleveth gig at the Solent Inn on May 1st 2010. See the band wrestling with their monstorous new instrument The Drumbone™.
11.05.2010
Last year Revenge of the Lawn all agreed that they would split up if they didn't get to play The Festival and The Bestival this year. You will be disappointed to know that they will (apparenty) be playing both and so will probably stay together for another year at least. Perhaps next year they should set their sights on Glastonbury? The band should be getting a couple of sets at the Kashmir Cafe Tent courtesy of Mike Smith of Quay Arts who has been a highly vocal supporter of the band. They will also be playing The Bandstand at the Bestival on Sunday morning. More details closer to the time.

Dave Cheesybits is still incapacitated, so I've hijacked taken over the site as substitute controller. Despite the desparately tearful pleas of Revenge of the Lawn, the County Press made no allowances for the band and made them get back into the shark-infested swamp that is the Live Wired competition. If you are fed up with them, go and vote for them and they given us their word that they'll stop entering the competition ... honest. Only two days to go.

Here is the aforementioned "a couple of hastily written Christmas songs", recently performed at Accoustic Originals recently which are now available for download.
27.12.2009
Sorry that there hasn't been any updates recently. This is because the House of Cheese™ is moving and it's taking a bit longer than I thought. You've probably already worked out that Revenge of the Lawn had to pull out of the Live Wired final because of Dread's comitments in the world of pantomime. They also performed a couple of hastily written Christmas songs at Accoustic Originals recently which I will make available for download as soon as I can.

Please note this is an afternoon gig. You can turn up in the evening if you want to but you won't see us!
I would , as usual, positively encourage you to print out this poster and put it in your window, but I suspect it's a bit too low res. for that. So instead I will encourage you to print it out and pin it to the back of your toilet door to use as emergency toilet paper as and when the need arises.

I was going to do a poster for the gig but since nobody ever prints them out, or indeed looks at them until after the gig, I decided to substitute this big black shape instead and save myself a bit of work. As usual you are positively encouraged to print it out and put it in your window.

Miracle of miracles - it looks like Revenge of the Lawn are finally going to be playing a gig (no seriously). And it should be this month. They have, however, announced that they will not be performing their hit songs "Bill O'Neil's Sandwich" or "Bum Banditeers" so apologies go out to the Portsmouth and Eastbourne contingent.

Revenge of the Lawn are trying to get get a gig but a continually frustrated by twats that want to know if they (ROTL) can play Micheal Jackson covers. If you know anywhere they can play let them know through the complaining page. Or if you are having a party and you want them to come along and play also make contact through the complaining page. The band says: "We would consider anything really so long as it feels right, we just want to get a gig. Any one out there that would like a demo before they let us play can fuck off though".

It is time, once again, for Revenge of the Lawn to fail to get into the live final of a competition the prize of which is to play at the Festival/Bestival (delete where applicable). You have a unique opportunity to share in this slight sense of disappointment and rejection by voting for them here.
This year ROTL have entered their musical consideration of the plight of those two giants of philosophical argument Noddy and Jean Paul Satre. Band leader and crumhorn maestro "Slick" Knobturner-Littlehampton said of the competition, "After failing to get into the live final for two years we decided to cheat and enter 14 songs under different names, reasoning that if all the songs that were put to the public vote were ours we would be sure of a place. When this didn't work we decided that the only way we would ever get our hands on those free tickets was to have friends - we are still working on this project." Of the song he said, "We chose this song because of the strong and thoughtful lyrical content, the infectious rhythms and the fact that it is the only one we had left."
Remember, most of you will have dynamic IP addresses and so be able to vote every 24 hrs or so. 5% of every vote you cast will be donated to Comic Relief so by voting for Revenge of the Lawn you are helping to save small children from around the world - voting for anybody else will of course give tiny babies AIDS.
