Yes, so as we've just mentioned, we are going on a little tour to support the new single. We are calling the the tour 'The Toxic Waist Band Tour'. We'll post up more bits 'n bobs about the single and the tour over the coming weeks.

We'll let Fence Records tell you about the tour (read this full post on the Fence website HERE & HERE)..

Fence:

"We’re donning our scarves, sewing the moth-holes in our long-johns, and embarking on a Fence Winter Tour! We’ve got a cracking line up for ya – with performances from The Three Craws, OLO Worms, FOUND, OnTheFly and more…

Towards the end of January there are very special Fence shows taking place in Edinburgh (22nd), Glasgow (23rd), London (25th), Bournemouth (26th), Bristol (29th) and Reading (30th).

This tour marks the release of OLO Worms debut 7″ single – ‘Back From England / The Elastic Waste Band (Low Fat Cut)’ – a copy of which will be given out to advance ticket holders FOR FREE while stocks last. You can only get a copy of this 7″ if you purchase your tickets through the Fence website.

The OLO’s will be headlining every night of the tour – except for the Edinburgh and London shows, which will be headlined by The 3 Craws (King Creosote, Pictish Trail and James Yorkston). Hailing from Bristol, the OLO boys make some of the most pleasurably bizarre pop sounds we’ve ever heard - trust us, you’ll love ‘em.

The Three Craws (King Creosote, The Pictish Trail and James Yorkston) will be headling two of the shows, in Edinburgh and London. After appearances at Aberdour Festival, and Green Man Festival earlier this year, these forthcoming shows mark The Three Craws first official headline shows – so don’t miss out!

Comprised of King Creosote, The Pictish Trail and James Yorkston, The 3 Craws are as close as Fife is going to get to it’s own süpergroup ... and it’s not even that close. Although, one of these croaking vulcans is a dead ringer for Josh Homme’s dad; another looks like Dave Grohl’s stylist; and one of them is the bastard child of John Paul Gaultier. Expect the widdling faff, and extortionate ticket price of seasoned pro’s ... and none of the timing.

OLO Worms will provide support for the Edinburgh and London shows – and will headline the rest of the tour, with a variety of Fence acts and special guests accompanying them."

Advance tickets for all shows will be available from – YOU GUESSED IT – www.fencerecords.com as of this Monday (7th of December). Here follow the dates…

DEAR DIARY (Dec Part 1)

JH writes..

"Had a long walk in the morning, in the rain, in my wet shoes, to our new practice room. The room was freezing! We did manage to come up with a couple of new songs though. 'Disney' & 'Motor Phone' are the working titles. I really really like 'Disney'. I do a spoken vocal over the music and i sort of sound like an old welsh man talking about the past. I called GJ 'mum' for some reason!? Hahaa! Got a KFC zinger meal and sat with all the Sunday night travellers. On my walk up the 'rat run' in the dark in Bengeo a duck quacked at me, just when i needed a thought in my head about the new 'Disney' song confirming. Well..it sounded like a quack, could have be a laugh."

YISO NO.4 - FRANCOIS & AMAURY POP BY

4 Worms + 2 French boys = POP music. Here's the science bit..

DEAR DIARY (Nov Part 8)

Dear Diary,

We gave the new songs to The Pictish Trail and he replied: "it's like 'Come Together' Primal Scream meets Apache Indian".

Great news!!..King Kenny loves our new song! That's King Creosote don't cha know! Well chuffed. We spent most of the day trying to decide if we were gonna go with 'The Elastic (WAIST or WASTE) Band'? It went to the deadlock so we called on the King again and he voted for 'Waste!'. Defeat for LH, win for BB!

SW on BB > "The Simon Cowell trousers are getting higher,the teeth are getting whiter & your 'flat top' is taller and flatter. The next step is perhaps for me to find a way of dealing with you as the Cowell train is gaining momentum. Lord have mercy on us all."

We got the mastered songs back which sound great! Thanks Rueban! Rueben or Rueban? He's a Fence Collective man i'm pretty sure. We've seen him kicking around with James Yorkston outside the Co-Op throwing stones at Coke cans and swearing at old ladies.

Songs...done!

Artwork....done!

ALL GOOD, ALL GOOD BABY!!

Can't wait for this to come out now!!

Regards,

OLO Worms

DEAR DIARY (Nov Part 7)

BB writes..

Felt a bit down in the dumps about myself and so on (boring) then just as i was beginning to feel better and began climbing my way out of the pit of doom i found a Hollyoaks hunks calendar on top of my wardrobe..oh jeeez!! "put those six packs away boys before i cut my wrists!"...or i 'll cut you! ahhh, i stumbled across an idea! I turned to Tony Hutchinson and took the scissors to his muscles and began to cut circles. These circles would go on to form part of the artwork for the new songs. Waste not want not, or..waist not want not? Only OLO's will get that bad joke. The song is about kinda about men's weight issues so it worked out perfectly in the end. The calendar was meant to be found on this day at that precise moment. Thanks God! I ended up using my freshly cut hair in the artwork too. I glued it to the photocopies of my feet to make hairy feet. Used every flag in the world, i could'nt let any country down..although there is no English flag.

YES DADDY!

The Pictish Trail blogged about our new songs. Read it HERE.

WORMS IN SPACE

Yes, Bristol worms in space.

DEAR DIARY (Nov Part 6)

Dear Diary,

Got some tour dates through, can't say where or when they are but just keep late Jan 2010 free. BB recorded the sound of the Boot Camp swamp (pond) for one of our songs. We spent time thinking bout OLO YISO digital packs, physical packs, the out takes & mixtapes. Sunday (15th Nov) was to be the last day of recording for the new songs (news on those songs will be posted later in the week). It was the first day in our brilliant new practice room. We started at 8am and finished at 6pm, then we moved onto The Crystal Maze where we continued til 1am with just a short break for a X-Factor & Pizza. Highlight of the day was when we all recorded our 'Sister Act 2' style backing vocal.."SWAMP THING!!!!!".

Regards,

OLO Worms

Chin shaved, teeth brushed, sock over mic, lyric sheet in hand, Mum in town...home alone rapping!! ELVIS LIVES! Just as i was about to do my 'Back From England' vocals a crow outside my window butted in and advised me put a hat on, it worked! By way of thanks we'll keep him on the recording. I got nervous, what other MCs get butterfly tummys?!?? Whiskey and lemonade calmed me. I think i did ok. Brain pounding stress with these new songs..we all seem to be confusing each other. I wanna be in Bristol with the other 3 sorting this mess.

DEAR DIARY (Nov Part 4)

Dear Diary,

BIG day of recording! Got to the studio room early and proceeded to waste a few hours recording wet limp drums (it's all good now). Our French friend Francois & his friend Amaury turned up and saved the day! Francois played trumpet, Amaury played drums. Together they sprinkled their magic over 'Back From England' and now it's spicy!! You gotta love the French!

Regards,

OLO Worms

DEAR DIARY (Nov Part 3)

Dear Diary,

Went to the seaside (Clevedon), It was gloomy but we had fun. We ate crumpets on the pier, threw rocks, saw dead dog on beach, ate chips and dead dog pies, wet our socks, and recorded all the sounds there. We could'nt get in to the Royal Mail so the next stop on the FUN bus was Southmead! We drove around looking for trouble with our recorder out the car window. In Sommerfield i got hit in the balls with a shopping basket by G.Love for doing a bad U2 joke. The big man (G.Jones) cooked us all a chilli and we all sat down and watched possibly the best X-Factor ever! "Who's seen Gummo Simon! Gummo isn't a film Simon! Silly song Simon, silly song!" Louis Walsh is soo funny! I'm hoping tomorrow's theme is 'the songs from Gummo'. Jedward were of course out of this world! What will they do this week? Exciting! Even one of me fave Dave Lynch films 'Mullholland Drive' got a mention! Ha! how weird's that? We watched it with subtitles which gives the X-Factor another level of enjoyment. Slept on the sofa while others went out to old men pubs.

Regards,

OLO Worms

DEAR DIARY (Nov Part 2)

Dear Diary,

We got Google Wave. We surfed it. We WIPED OUT!! Arrrrrrggghhhhh!!! 'Back From England' is all about balance. We're all trying to stay on the same board while the sharks nip at our toes. We're nearly home and dry (on the warm sandy beach). Will be finished next week as will 'The Elastic Waste Band' which has been cut from 8mins to 5mins. Its the LOW FAT edit. The creamy full fat version will be on the album. Just sent some info on the new songs to a man who is gonna pop it in a magazine. We might have a new den to hang out in soon.

Regards,

OLO Worms

Watched quite alot of the OLO demo videos we film when messing about. I forgot a few weeks ago i had made up a new 'song' called 'ANTS AGAIN'. There's no other lyrics. It's more a question.."Ants again!!??". It's got HIT written all over it. Had a good idea about the recorded version of the OLO song 'The Barber Shop'. I wanna get aload of guests for a sexy whispered intro. I have people in mind. It's gonna be like one of the skits off De La Soul's '3 Feet High And Rising' except less cool (although they were geeky at the time too).
