The shirt features a snot-tastic version of the new Smiley Bones with both neon printing and glow in the dark bones so it will be hi-visibility whatever the time of day or night!

As we will have to price match merchandise at Download, the shirt will be £20.00 on the day. We’ve tried to keep our merch reasonably priced in the face of rising costs but it’s beyond our control at festivals unfortunately.

We have, however, decided to make the new shirt available online at our regular price of £15.00 so anyone not able to come to any of these shows can still get one, and the fans attending Download won’t have to pay over the odds.

All orders received by Sunday 27th May will be dispatched via first class mail, however with the bank holidays we cannot guarantee the shirts will be with you in time for Download for orders received later, but that is our aim!

The shirt is available from our merch store in Small through to XXXL. Should you require up to 5XL please contact chris(at)atmoapparel.co.uk prior to May 27th.

Filmed during last year's Ginger Wildheart & Friends acoustic tour, this DVD is an entertaining bootleg-style documentary look at the on and off stage goings on of the summer shows around the UK. It is packed with interviews, behind-the-scenes tom foolery, songs, characters and highlights from the van journeys with the band featuring Ginger Wildheart, 'Random' Jon Poole (The Wildhearts/Cardiacs), Jase Edwards (Wolfsbane), Chris Catalyst (Eureka Machines/The Sisters Of Mercy), Willie Dowling & John Steel (Jackdaw4) and Dunc (tour guitar tech).

Included on the DVD are 8 live acoustic performance videos shot at various venues across the tour, and over 30 minutes of bonus behind-the-scenes clips – almost 2 hours of audio-visual entertainment!

…The wait is almost over

Tomorrow, at 5.55pm, sees the release of the first batch of songs from 555%, the triple-album born from the fantastically successful PledgeMusic campaign. It’s taken a little longer than planned, but the finishing touches are now being made as the final mastering process is underway with the help of the amazing Jon Astley, the mastering maestro behind albums from the likes of The Who, Led Zepplin and The Rolling Stones. Trust us – the wait will be have been worth it!

Once you have downloaded these first tracks (and all pre-order formats of 555% get access to the downloadable tracks), we’d like you give them a listen, and then listen to them again, and keep listening to them as many times as it takes you to pick your favourite songs, and let us know in the comments box on the PledgeMusic site. We’ll collate your votes, and this will help us decide the track listing for the commercial single disc version of the album, 100%. We’ll then repeat this process with the second and third sets of tracks as they are released.

As an added extra, there is also a new line of 555% men and women’s clothing and mugs now available for pre-order. You can see the full range of new additions in the webstore, including these beauties featuring the 555% artwork:

As a special thank-you to all of you who have already pledged, we are offering a 15% discount off anything in the webstore (new and sale items) until 3rd April. Check your PledgeMusic updates for more information, and the discount code to use at the checkout.

In case you still haven’t made your pre-order yet…well you’ve missed out on a physical copy of the album. All CD and vinyl releases have now been deleted from the order page, but you can still order the digital download version, the “Making Of” DVD and the single CD version, 100%, from the PledgeMusic site.

So make sure your MP3 player is charged up, your data cable is plugged in, and…er…this sounded so much better when you used to spin up your turntable! Just make sure to be ready to receive the first course of the sonic banquet you are about to enjoy!
