Hope everything has been going well with all you guys out there. You may or may not have heard but unfortunately our absolutely amazing, brilliant drummer Alexandra has injured herself. With advice and help from the doctors she should be back with us at the start of January 2009. Between now and then we will still of course be gigging, a big thank you to our stand in drummers Pete, Jeo and Natasha who have done many practises and performances with us so far. It’s been a nightmare trying to get all our songs up to gigging standard with different faces to the band but a lot of hard work has been going on in The Almaboobies HQ to make sure we carry on! We played Americana, Derby Beer Festival and a few other crackin’ shows in the last few weeks, my goodness…what fantastic gigs. Soooo many people supporting us and making new fans which is tremendous. Sold out of merchandise at Americana, YIPPY!!! Can’t believe the amount of awesome feed back we have had, thank you for all those beautiful e-mails. We have just recently had a big practise with Motorkill for our ‘Motor Headgirl School’ tour which will be coming up next year. We have a taster for you on Saturday 13th September at the Bourne Corn Exchange, Bourne, Lincs. Also, thank you to Nik Alexander for your clever work in photography on our tour photos. There is lots of talk on overseas tours, hopefully next year we will be rockin’ in Europe!!! Check this out people’s, we are now proudly sponsored by Warfedale. We are trialling a new range of speaker not yet released in the UK, so you must come and check out these beauties at our shows. Also, we are now in partnership with Powershift Fire & Rescue. We have a big family event happening in Horncastle at Old Nicks for the ‘Fire Engine Day’ on Sunday 17th August. That’s about it for now. Apologies haven’t written a diary entry sooner, it’s been a bit tough with Alexandra’s news but we will not give in…that’s ROCK N’ ROLL!!!! x

Hello all you crazy rockers and moshers!!! Hope this year so far has been a good one. We have been flat again, so far 24 gigs this year, rocking is the way to live!!! Many more gigs lined up with many more fantastic nights and much more drinking…water!!! ROCK ON!!! Just come back off holiday, now back to knuckling down and giving it our all. Have many things, ideas and events in the pipeline, nerve-racking and exciting! We are now fully proudly sponsored by Bikers Paradise leather clothing company as of the beginning of 2008. Absolutely wonderful leathers, highly recommend these guys, very professional and fair. For all your leather needs please go to www.bikersparadise.co.uk. They are based in Coventry. So now, on stage, us boobie girls have tight leather trousers and posh fitting waistcoats. BRILLIANT!!! On stage we now have a 12 by 6 foot banner and some cutie little monitor drapes, looks quite cool. Within the next few weeks we shall be starting on our new CD. Haven’t made an album yet, just EP’s, so thought we would go crazy and make a mega rockin’ flippin’ mental ALBUM!!!!...bring it on!!! Lots of work so will be a while before the final product is complete. Written a load of new material as well, wrote two songs in a week, they just seemed to flow out of us. ‘Inside’ and ‘35 Stone Ego’, Inside is a very sort of grabbing power with your emotions and 35 Stone Ego is a bit of fun, a modern punk feel to it. You’ll have to come check them out. We are in the process of sorting out a tour with Motorkill (Motorhead tribute band) thanks to our trusty agent Mick Moonshine who went full time with at the start of this year. Looking to plan it for the end of this year, bring back the Girlschool and Motorhead tour!!!! Can’t wait for that baby! We are playing all over England. Down in West Sussex and Isle Of Wight next weekend, really looking forward to that, prepare yourselves peoples!!! The boobies are coming to your town!!! We have been booked for quite a few festivals this year, check out our events page. Last year in total played 110 shows and this year is looking like another fully booked year, the way it should be. One of the highlights this year so far for me was playing with the outrageous phenomenal ‘Badaxe’, if you haven’t heard of these guys or seen them play then you should feel ashamed of yourselves!!!...seriously go check them out, you won’t be disappointed, WARNING: you must have a sense of humour!!! Our sound engineer Matt Chapman is just AWESOME, thank you. Well that’s about it for now, everyone take care but don’t forget to enjoy yourselves too! x

Hello to one and all! Well lots of news to tell…on 4th August we played with Po Boys at Brands Hatch World Superbikes, that was an amazing experience, thousands of people and the stage was gigantic! We have played at this years Wicked Wild Weekend for the Brotherhood and also this years Wozwolf. We were asked to play with Po Boys at the Irish Centre in Leeds 22nd September, awesome venue and atmosphere. We have a return visit thanks to the Po Boys on 15th December. New song, Feline Assassin, sort of a Jessica Rabbit feel mixed with jazz, scar and Almaboobieness! We have now played our first working mans club which was in Sheffield at the Foundry Workers. A little different to the usual pub and club scene but all performances and experiences are worth it. It is the first we have had Bingo in the intervals instead of rock music! Travelled to the South of England for the 26th and 27th October to play in Bracknell and Maidenhead. The audiences were fabulous, already revved up before the first note was struck. Can’t wait to go back. Special thank you to Matt-Ira Chapman and Becky Smith for coming down to support and share the experience. Finally all complete since 1st November, Matt-Ira Chapman has re-recorded, mixed and mastered our new CD Welcome. It is back out, bigger and better than ever!!!! Last Friday had our first live experience on BBC Radio Lincolnshire. Played 4 songs with a mini interview. Coming up, Christmas time will be busy and better than ever with all the fabulous nights to come as we are seeing the New Year in Grimsby (Yardbirds). Keep watching this space for the next diary entry. Finally our thoughts and sympathies go out to Matt and family for the loss of their beloved Becky and our friend who died on the morning of Tuesday 13th November 2007 in a tragic motorcycle accident. Such a beautiful person who will never be forgotten and shall live on forever in our hearts, memory and spirit. Thank you Becky for your love and friendship, R.I.P. You will always be missed.

ROCK & BLUES
Unbelievable, you got to hear this everyone…DO NOT MOVE! Rock & Blues was insanely insane and just AMAZING!!!!!! We rocked up to Ripley in Pentrich, Derby on Saturday morning after getting up at 5.45am, errrrr! We found the Rock & Blues; we knew this because the cars were chocker block for miles in the middle of the country side!! We made our way down to the Cross Piston Saloon ‘Beer Tent’, but however, we had gone and found ourselves stuck in the squelchy mud which we then had to be towed out of, apparently not rock and roll, but of course a top start to our day! Finally parked up back stage of the Cross Piston Saloon and jumped out to say hi folks. Everyone was so lovely and it felt so incredibly cool to be apart of a day which involved so many well respected, kind and pleasant people. The sound check was soon to take place so unloaded our equipment on the BIG stage, so strange to have help setting up, that’s not happened before, the stage crew were amazing. On stage waiting for orders, some people in the crowd shouting ‘get your tits out’, my goodness they were so original, I hope they felt better after their little joke. Sound check complete and with lots of people smiling, the crowd soon gathered together in time for our performance. So there we were just standing there at the side of the stage waiting for our nod for show time in 20 minutes, just enough time to get even more nervous, scared and extremely excited in the wait. BOOOOOOOOOOOM ROCK AND ROLL THE ALMABOOBIES HIT THE STAGE AND LIGHTS!!!!!! With myself and my new battery pack I was totally in my element and once wound myself up to my max I let myself and my bass fly, running behind the drums and revving up the monitor guy who was trying so hard to blend in with the side of the stage. Alexandra the animal on the drums, solo time, she had the crowd by storm, apparently people even stopped ordering their beer from the bar just to watch, the last beat of her solo finished with everyone cheering, couldn’t hear anyone separately, just one big roar, insane, my little cutie sister! Victoria foot stomping and lead breaking perfect, she actually managed to make it to the centre of the stage to head bang lots of hair with me! Not forgetting myself on that microphone talking to the audience getting my words jumbled, I get too excited to talk so when I do it just comes out like blur blur yeah! During our rockin’ performance, we stopped to let you all know of our Fearless Casual wear, modeling at the front of the stage with chests and arses out!!!! Finally we told the crowd it was our last song and they all groaned!!!!!...how cool…only to find out that we had 10 minutes left so we finished our show in true solid rock style which encouraged our 30 deep audience to dance even more!!! The sound was beyond mint!!!! Off stage were our kind crew Anthony and Felix, presenting us with a pile of CD’s to sign, never ending, such a monumental feeling. We even got to meet Dawn from Uniting The Elements and Motorkill. I got to chat with GD again, he is such an awesome person, you must look out for his review! Then once we went crazy with our flyers swimming through the hyped up audience bumping into a few we knew and lots we didn’t, I met the sound guy and he kindly lent me his pen and then found the incredible Mick Moonshine DJ-ing. It was time to chill out in our van back stage which felt so great for a few minutes to let sink in all that we had just experienced, the feeling was phenomenal. Of course us, like usual, didn’t realize that the unbelievable Led Zeppelin tribute band ‘A Whole Lotta Led’ were parked in front of us and chatting away amongst themselves. Their guitarist Nick came up to our van and opened the door to introduce himself. They were due to play in the next hour. Spectacular performance! As the day went on we thought it would be nice to get a look at all the stalls, shopping!! Alexandra bought some badges which was very unpredictable! I bought a girlie whirly dress, very pretty, also very unpredictable and Victoria bought a leather waistcoat, and had a patch sewed on the rear which says ‘3 can keep a secret if 2 are dead’ which is charming!! Back at the van, legs tired and head aching from the sun. The dudes from A Whole Lotta Led were chilling so we joined them. Although I was too hyper from a sugar overload of too many cans of soft drink, so consequently I didn’t have an off button and they couldn’t believe that it was natural!!! Their singer told me I was a lovely person and so I got very shy and in reply said, ‘Thanks, I like your jumper!’…douh, typical Lizzie! It was time to make our way to the main stage to check out Scorpions. We approached the security who were so ace, friendly and couldn’t stop smiling. But however…I made the mistake of carrying a Celebrations tin in my arms, they wouldn’t let me past until they had one, I told them that there was Guinness cake inside so they said I was spot on and let me continue on my journey!!! Our close friends from our parents’ pub Old Nicks Tavern had very kindly made the cake for our journey that day. Now in front of main stage, here we met an awesome lady named Donna who wanted to have a kip on our carpet and share our covers that we had laid on the grass, another groovy neighbour who had a blow up couch, and another who was a little girly in a pink coat catching bubbles all around! Unfortunately the rain came so we had to scatter, say our goodbyes and retrieve our van, the mud had dried up during the day as the sun had come out to play, but now of course it was back to slush, bloody rain gone and got us stuck in the mud again. Now free from slush and on our way home, all exhausted from a full on, enthusiastic, manic and thrilling day…so much more had happened but we’d better finish it there otherwise you’ll be getting a numb bum soon just like myself!!! Elizabeth now leaving her rock and roll write up but I am still rocking rolling even now from the Rock & Blues…far too much energy!!! Too excited…looking forward to meeting and supporting the Po Boys this coming Saturday at Brands Hatch World Superbikes. Ahhh!!!

We are now looking forward to Rock N Blues where we will be sharing the day with 'Scorpions', we will also be at Brands Hatch World Superbikes where we shall be supporting the 'Po Boys'. We have made a new song called ‘Superhero’ and have played it out a few times already. Alexandra now has her new drum skin and with our new t-shirts we look like a proper rock and roll band! Check out ‘It’s Only Rock ‘N’ Roll’ Derby/Notts pub guide…Mick Moonshine has given us an awesome write up. It’s now full on for the summer gigs. Stay tuned!

Blimey, so much to tell you all, where do we begin…we are now chocker block with shows until next year thanks to Victoria who has been working endless hours. Our shows have been improving all the time…have played in Felixstowe, Ipswich, Castleford and also played in Lancashire and Greater Manchester, had an outstanding show at the Sitwell Tavern in Derby 25th May too…now we are preparing for the Rock N Blues, flyers being printed and our new CD ‘Welcome’ went to the printers on Tuesday so should be within a month ready to be launched at the show. So much unbelievable stuff has happened. We are now proud to be associated with ‘Fearless Casuals’ casual wear, will be wearing their tops at our shows so look out for that, they are very classy! We have had some new t-shirts and tops printed up with our Beautiful Angel logo from the front of our CD, they look stunning! We have also made our very own music video for ‘Postcard’ which is the featuring track on our very new CD ‘Welcome’. With the help of our parents, friends including Desert Smile we have put together something quite special, just waiting for the editing. Looking forward very much to the end product. We are in the process of creating The Almaboobies very own personalized bass drum skin, will have The Almaboobies picture logo and word logo. Very exciting stuff! Elizabeth signing off.
