In Chicago, Vampire Hands lost a guitar amp…

I’m not sure what they are using now but if any friendly readers in Ohio can help…

They will be in NYC on Friday if anyone there can lend a hand?

If anyone has one they can borrow, or information about an amp to purchase, email them @ VAMPIREHANDS@GMAIL.COM

Here is the message left on the MRMB

“1)
This Is Chris Rose posting. In Chicago my amp fell off a doly on cement and has since stopped working. I fixed a broken tube the next day but it was giving me 25% of the power upon further inspection the amp stopped working (making sound at all) A friend in Columbus looked at it and thinks the output transformer is broke. I’m bringing it in tomorrow but have no time to wait a week or even a cupple days.
Any suggestions?
2)
If it is dead I found a Roland JC-120 jazz chours that seems comparible dose anyone Know this amp? It seems good haven’t played it yet.

p.s. I actual almost shed a tear when I head my Traynor might be dead.”

I love Simian Mobile Disco’s album, it almost made my Albums of 2007 post last year.

Those nice PR people have offered us the chance for you, (yes, YOU!) to win tickets to see them on their current DJ tour around the UK, or for those of you in the USA for their upcoming tour. And if you don’t win tickets, you can watch some videos - all good, no? Enjoy!

Not only will POS be doing a not-so-rare secret set, but, Martin Dosh will also be sitting in for a unique improvisational performance with Ryan Olcott on Bends & James Buckley on Bass (Both of Mystery Palace.) Collectively they will form the Foodteam Trio.

To make this show happen Dosh will be flying back early from Texas where he is working on the new Andrew Bird record.

Thanks Alexa Jones
