This is not Jez for a change! He's jetted off on a plane to Nashville for a few weeks to learn lap steel and work on his mullet.

We had a wierd 24 hours in Paris. A 6am start for an 8.30am sound check for an 11am radio gig. We got there to find that not only was the studio *huge* but that there was a studio audience of several hundred! And we had come dressed for radio. oh well. We played a paricularly loud version of "Daytime TV" and a piano-accompanied version of "Different for Girls" to several million french radio listeners. After lunch with the French record label it was back on the train to blighty. All over too soon. Michelle and I are off to Australia for most of June to hang out with Montana and enjoy the antipodean winter. So all will be quiet in the Farrah camp 'till we re-group in July to work on some new songs and promote "Me Too" finally being released in the UK (currently scheduled for september). So hopefully we'll finally get another full UK tour off the ground! See you on the road.... ac x
Greetings from hakata everybody. We`re having an amazing time in japan. It`s so brilliant to be back here promoting our new mini album. We had a Radio interview last night and then met the buyers at HMV and tower who have kindly racked `stop gap product` out and put it on the listening stations!

O.K, I admit the headline is a bad pun but I thought i'd send you all greetings from Austin Texas. i'm having a brilliant time and eating amazing mexican food which bears liitle resemblance to the stuff we get back home. It's pretty warm here and I'm sleeping in a studio with a marshall stack as a b

Hi everyone, I'm finally recovered from my Birthday. It was a blast. It was especially lovely to see so many of you at the Farrah gig on Sunday. I even got lovely gifts (thanks Sandrine). the gig was fun although too short for my liking. Good reviews are starting to come in for the album and we're

Hola! Back from Spain and some very successfull shows. Madrid was almost sold out (The Moby Dick) as was Valencia (a mini-festical with 4 bands). Barcelona was shite and deserted (as always - too cool for us) and the Ricoamor in Castellón was sold out and rocked as always. Bombones supported us alon

Well, my jet lag seems to have worn off and I've prised my stetson off. I had a weird sense of pride when i got to Gatwick and al the airport staff were surly and unhelpful. I love the U.K. This week we're doing some rehearsing to get into shape for our Spanish tour. We're hoping to throw a couple o

is a funny thing. There are lots of huge cars here. i don't quite understand why you would need a humvee in tennessee just to go shopping.
it's been a busy old week. I went to see Nick Lowe last night which was great. He's one of the fathers of powerpop. 'Cruel to be kind' is a classic.

We wrote a song about a travel agent which seemed fitting as i've been travelling a lot this year.
I went to see the metallica film yesterday which was amazing and pretty

It's Jez here in rainy Nashville. I'm here to write with some country writers for a couple of weeks

hello all, just a quick hello as my euro in the internet cafe is about to run out. I?m in sunny Spain again this week. I?ve been sitting by the pool and pondering lyrics and songs for the next Farrah releases- and getting pissed obviously. I love any country that sells wine for 50 pence. Last weeken

Hello everyone. I'm packing my bags for a weekend in Barcelona which should be fun. I just wanted you to know that the new tracks we're working on are sounding great. It's been a busy week. Hope all is good with you all. Should have mentioned that I met Ben Folds in Nashville which was great as I lo

Apparently, and not Mel-bourne. So here we are, in the middle of Australian winter, freezing our cajones off in Melbourne while there is a heatwave melting the UK. Bloody typical. Luckily we're heading off to Darwin in the next few days where the temperatures are little more like the unfeasible heat

Hello everyone, It's a quick diary entry because I'm on stage in half an hour
Drove to Washington DC today and we're going to look around after the gig. Being on the road
is always a lot more exciting in a foreign country (i ceased to get goosebumps at M1 Tibshelf services a couple of years ago)

Good afternoon everybody, I trust you're having a wonderful weekend. As usual, it's a diary entry from me as the other members of the band can never be arsed to update this page (or even upload some new photos).
Needless to say I'm suffering from a mild hangover. I've spent most of the last week

Happy Sunday everybody, I hope everyone is having a great weekend! I'm still recovering from Madrid. My neck is extremely sore from headbanging so much at the gig. It was really special to be invited to be part of our label's 10th anniversary party.
We arrived in Madrid on Thursday and basically

Hello, it's a very hungover Jez here with tales of rock and roll. Actually I haven't been very rock and roll at all. I did drink a stupid amount last night and talked a lot of bollocks which is always worth doing.
My favourite hangover cure besides going to the pub is a liverish walk down to the

Well it's Monday morning and I'm recovering from a busy weekend rehearsing, recording and drinking. We're all excited about the gig on Wednesday. The band's supporting us are both signed so I reckon it will be a busy night.
We've been hard at work writing new songs for the next album and recordi

Wow, Japan is a long way away! Farrah returned yesterday from our first tour of Japan so I wanted to fill you all in on what a fantastic time we had. Firstly, a bit of history:
Japan was a place the band had always really wanted to go. Our first single 'Terry' sold well on import there and was a

best wishes to you all from a sunny but cold Kyoto. this City is famed for it`s temples, tofu and shopping and I`ve explored all three. The japanese are so helpful that whenever you`re lost they`ll lead the way. I`ve been lost quite often as english-language street names are a rarity.

Happy New Year folks! It’s Jez here with another sporadic diary entry.I hope you all had a good Christmas. I did except for being in York Casualty on Christmas day with a suspected collapsed lung!
