Giggity.

And so, the time came to unleash the Squid upon an unsuspecting world.

The old-school flyers went up...

...and the armaments were assembled.

This is 'The Lowdown' bar in the basement of the Albany pub, opposite

Great Portland Street tube.

Rich and Garth took to the stage. If a junk-filled mezzanine floor with alcoves

could be referred to as such.

At least somebody knew what they were doing. Anna, our sound engineer for

the evening, did an amazing job of sorting it all out.

One final tune up...

...and it was time for a packed house to face the music.

We played for about 40 minutes. Which seemed like ten to us. And an eternity

to the crowd.

Here are some tantalising tasters.

Midnight cowbell.

Rustier than the Titanic's tailpipe, we went back to the rehearsal studio and

tried to cobble a set together. With the welcome addition of Jeremy's new cowbell.

After four or five runs at every song, we eventually managed to get it together.

The noodle and the damage done - hard rockin' takes its toll.

Here's the full set in four parts, warts and all. Mostly just warts, really.

Out ta get ya mother.

Another rehearsal, another crime against music. This time, we mashed up

Guns 'n' Roses with Abba. Björn to be wild, if you will. After that, we mashed

ourselves up pretty thoroughly too.

Getting shirty.

Our new T-shirts arrived, just in time for our most recent practice, hurrah!

We were without our guitar wizard, but Kate from the Squidettes stepped

in and we pogoed and spat our way through a new tune.

Guest Night.

Sadly, Jezza was unable to make our most recent practice. Instead we were

joined by several guests. Some we'd invited...

...and one we hadn't!

Here, filmed in stomachchurnovision, is a promising start for an entirely

new band (once they've been joined by a bass player of their own). Who'll

end up supporting whom?
