Thank you Huddersfield! That might have been our best gig, it's certainly up there. A magical night at @ParishHudd where the sound and light show were stunning, the audience fell for our FIRE 🔥 and responded with such warmth and love. Nottingham & Northampton, you're up next! 🫡

Its been our best year as a band so far, having toured & gigged this year with The Boo Radleys, Inspiral Carpets, Northside, House Of All & The Primitives. Thrilled to announce we've been chosen to support @babyshamblesuk at the 1,600-capacity @O2AcademyBris on Dec 9! Bliss-out!!

Sensational set from @pfurs at Bristol Academy! Glorious guitar and synth soundscapes played by a six-piece band brimming with life and a joyous love for what they do so well. Superb support slot from Xmal Deutschland's Anja Huwe too. What a great night, a bliss-out

Big love to all who came to see us in SF, you were fab! Massive fuck you to losing 20% of our merch $ to the venue - Christ. We are just about managing to get through this while leaking money and the insult of a venue taking of cut when we have played our arses off...

NOTE: I've been here since 2008, tweeting/posting on Marc Bolan/T. Rex since 2013. ⭐️I may be leaving permanently - depending upon what happens here over the next 6 weeks. Taking away likes and retweets? Ugh! Reach curtailed, vibe so VERY different from when I began. #truth

Sending this round again with a better intro. It’s from the Atlanta Pop Festival, 1970 and Jimi’s in full flight during Stone Free. @ronniedk reckons his playing is akin to Charlie Parker, Coltrane. Take a listen. It’s probably all that and higher still. #Hendrix

Just seen an early Simple Minds performance on TV and can’t believe how different they were. Never seen that side of them before. Playing this song.

Great night in Deptford near Lewisham in Southeast London where our @lukeyfoxt headlined an electronic event with his Lukey Foxtrot solo project. Had a blissed-out bop and raved it up until I had to leg it! What a great weekend, we rocked Sheffield & bopped in London. Good times!

Ta Sheffield! There's 1,000 cats here but the red lights & dry ice is obscuring most of them 😁 Were you there? At @Network_Sheff last night we totally blissed-out with our second-ever visit to the Steel City after playing @Leadmill last year. Amazing crowd. Huddersfield next up!

@KEELEYsound Haha! I shall now adopt this song as my personal anthem, and download and play to my relatives and friends the snippet of "What a life, what a mess", whenever the need arises, instead of me saying it. 🤣 What a catchy tune, btw. LOVE IT! ❤️👍 https://t.co/e2pmmerVrD

Look at these desperate clowns, 1 flag won’t do it, cram 3 of the fuckers in quick. Paul from Mansfield might vote for Farage! Labour. Is. Dead.

We're just arriving in Vancouver - heads up that we are at THE WISE tonight, not the Hollywood. I'm back in full voice, and Jen arrived off the plane last night and straight onto stage with Gina - WHAT A PRO!!!! Another visa refugee who has finally made it to the tour. ❤️

Happy Birthday to our Ace of Bass, Lukey Foxtrot! The perfect touring companion, a truly great musician and the loveliest cat. We love him. This great shot was taken at our @crocroland festival appearance back in April. Bliss-out Lukey "Today Forever" to quote our beloved RIDE 🫡
