Damn!
That tour was tight bro! Huge thanks to all the bands we played with, all the promoters, people who let us sleep in their lovely houses, everyone who came to the gigs, everyone who bought a CD or t-shirt from us and an extra-huge thankyou to the cheeky fivesome that is Cats And Cats And Cats. Go and buy their new mini-album NOW! Whilst we're on that subject, we also have a new CD available for your listening delight! It's called 'Electrocuted Means Dead' and the tracklisting looks a little something like this:
1. Don Bosco
2. Hell Is Other Robots
3. Shirts Vs. Skins
4. Three Easy Steps
5. Hundred Champions
6. Escape Not The Thunderbolt
It's available from gigs for the princely sum of £2, but if you can't wait any longer then send £2.50 (well concealed cash or cheque payable to Mr C Pratt) to the following address and we'll post one to your door (remember to include your address along with the golden nuggets!)
The place:

Until next time!

Easy boss!
Thanks an absolute load to anyone and everyone who came to any of our gigs over the past week, we took much joke at all of them. We have a couple more gigs this week, both quite late notice but nonetheless pretty hench. On Wednesday we're headlining The Peel in Kingston with some of our friends' amazing bands. Then on Friday we're first on (onstage at about 8pm) at Stripes Bar, Brentford. Come to both if you're a ledge. Come to one if you're alright. Come to neither if you're rubbish!
Check you later!

'Allo 'Allo!
Check the change of date on the flyer below, buster! Guess it's kind of a christmas party now, so bring gifts! Got a couple more dates for next year up in the gigs section, one with those awesome Swedes, Jeniferever. It's gonna be a blockrocker, for sure! Also a big thankyou to Dan and Andrew who played one of our songs on their 'Indiscrete Mathematics For The Masses' radio show last week. It broadcasts every Friday from 12-2pm on www.wired.gold.ac.uk and they play a lot of awesome stuff!
See you at the Underground!

Thanks a load to everyone who pitched up to the Turnmills gig last night, we thought it was pretty grand even though Jim was feeling under the weather. Shout outs to the Cats crew, Brad's crew, Ormonster & co, KCL Math gang, UCL indie gang, Steve and Ozzy for driving our stuff there as always, Ellie for giving us the gig and Adam Cats for bigging us up to Ellie. Next gig is in a couple of weeks with some awesome bands and finally it's a 16+ one, so no excuses kids! Check the gigs page for details!
Enjoy yr chocolate advent calendar!

Hello my loves!
First day of recording for 2 new songs today, shall be very fun indeed! Also the Ealing gig next weekend has been cancelled, so apologies to our West London click for the disappointment, fortunately we have a couple of gigs in the process of being confirmed so hopefully that will soften the blow a little, more details soon. Also, if yr in the Weybridge area this Tuesday night then be sure to pop to the Hand & Spear (by the station) for an evening of delicious noise - Liverpool's The Mos Eisley, our friends Meet Me In St Louis and Cats And Cats And Cats and another mint local band The Sketch Outfit. Don't miss out!
See you there!

Easy tigers!
Only 2 months since the last news item! We treat you so well. You might have noticed that the our world-famous forum is down (although judging by the number of posts recently, you probably didn't), we're working on sorting out a new one but we're short on webgeeks at present so it might take a while. In the meantime. if you really need to get hold of us then you best send a mail over to thesiegfriedsassoon@hotmail.com. Got a few nice gigs coming up soon, especially the jazzbeard records all-dayer at the star this saturday - pierre bands, trust it's gonna be well bashment. We're going back into Sam's studio in a couple of weeks to record 2 more songs and hopefully in the not too distant future a 6 track mini album should see the light of day! See you at the Star!

Yes!
I've got a final mastered copy of our new four tracker in my grubby paws! More info about tracklisting/release date/availability/and that will be up soon, but safe to say the Siegfrieds are pretty bloody excited! If you want to join us in celebration then come down to the Hand & Spear by Weybridge train station this Tuesday for a headline gig by yours truly, ably supported by local heroes Champion Hardcore Fighters and Three Days Away! It's our 100th gig and also Chris Sassoon's impromptu 21st birthday bash! Why are you not already there?
we're off to watch Cats And Cats And Cats...

Hallo mate!
Got quite a few more gigs put up on the gigs page for you to peruse, some are coming up real soon so make sure you mark them down in yr diary, pocket organiser or palm pilot. As we speak, Mr. Sam Garner is mastering our new four track opus, which is as yet untitled, but you can bet yr sweet arse there'll be a taster from it up on the site real soon! One other thing, as nuff peeps have asked me about this lately: if you want us to link yr band/webzine/anything on our page then let us know on the messageboard (you don't have to be a member to post) and yr wish will probably be granted (as long as you link us in return!)
peace out...

Alright kids?
Hope everyone's doing alright, especially our London crew. Sorry we've been so slack at updating this site of late, hopefully all will change as soon as we've started recording some new songs with our good friend Sam Garner at his brand spanking new studio in Woking. Simon is already getting stuck into some fresh artwork, and we've just got a fresh batch of t shirts delivered for anyone who missed out on the first lot. Simon's ace crying robotic skeleton design is now available in brutal black, bloody lovely blue and owsianka orange. We have nuff different sizes so if you want to get yr greasy mitts on one, best thing to do is leave a message on the forum so we can sort you out. Not much coming up in the way of gigs, though we have a few almost confirmed that we'll let you know about soon enough. If you fancy booking us for a gig, then leaving a message on the forum is probably yr best bet until we sort out a contact page on this site.
Until next time...

Hi Gang!
We've finally done some updating on this little site with the help of our chum Toby. We've not got any gigs in the immediate future to tell you about, but as soon as we've finished our exams we're going to go back to Sam's house to record some of our new songs. We'd like to thank everyone who's come to see us in the past couple of months and also anyone who's helped us out by giving us gigs and stuff. Get in contact if you want to sort a gig out for us or want to get hold of a CD or one of our mint new t shirts.
Speak to you all soon!
