Gobi fat camp

So as previously said, we were lucky enough to be featured in Perez Hilton's blog...it came out of the blue for 5 out of 6 of us who'd never even heard of him. So we checked out the site and sure enough there we were, with a slightly strange band photo, staring at the camera.

It seems his site is the be all and end all of gossip, and furious debates about us were in progress. There were some nice comments, some to make you cry and then some truly weird ones.

The highlight for me so far was one of the comments on the site saying that we are too fat to be in a band! Once I read this I relayed the info to the others...After 4 hours of crying, Ben R has now said he'll only eat bread and water...I'm also going to cut down my food diet from 350 bags of malteasers a day to just 300. Ben Matthews has made it his task to lose at least 5 stone by the end of the week so he can fit into that little dress he's always loved, and Dino...well he said he'll never eat again. Matt and James are way too out of control and fat with their eating habits to start any new regime, so perhaps we'll just send them to fat camp this summer!

That said, we are excited about all the stuff happening right now and plan to be in the US in the not too distant future so stay tuned.

Two Spot Update

At last Brighton has been given a good bit of sunshine for us to 
enjoy...We've been enjoying a week's winding down time after
the single release which was probably the busiest week we've ever
experienced, but also was lots of fun.I've taken this
opportunity to get back in to song writing and have managed to write
about 4 in a week! not bad going I think! Now starts the
proper work on our album, getting the tracks sounding sweet on record
is different to playing them live (as we've been told just about 1
milliion times by various know it alls). Of course they'll still have
the Gobi flair and will make you smile, laugh and cry, hopefully in a
good way, and not all at once as this is the transformation that
happened last time I did that...http://img28.picoodle.com/img/img28/4/6/23/f_warpmem_b6f0210.jpg to http://img29.picoodle.com/img/img29/4/6/23/f_BigCheesyGrm_48afb47.jpg
We hope you'll keep watching and enjoying the music from
whichever corner of the earth you happen to inhabit....Rob :-)

5am Gobi


So we just came back from a weekend of recording the video for our single on a roof top in London which was a good laugh. The part that wasn't a good laugh was getting up at 5am to be there although it has to be said there is something I like about getting up super early. It's nice to stroll around the streets with no-one around and feel like you have a bit of a headstart on the world.

Dino (guitar) and I were in charge of making the sandwiches for the shoot the night before which proved to be more of a task than we'd initially thought. To feed 6 hungry guys (especially when they're as fat as Ben M!) is no easy task, but to then add on a full on hungry film crew makes life a little harder. Here are our sandwiches, a careful selection of egg & cress, tuna sweetcorn, and ham salad.....this is only half way through making...
