Hello New York!
Posted Thursday, June 10th, 2010Hi from over seas! There will be an album to listen to in the future, its being worked on as we speak.

I live in New York, not so sure how it all works?! D: - Hope one day you guys come around! :D xx

I used to get to see you a lot when I lived in Bristol and I'm SO EXCITED you're visiting my home!!! I've bought out half the tickets for the gig and me and all my friends are eagerly awaiting it. If you need anything while you're in the Shire let me know, always happy to help!! xxx

Exeter gig
Posted Thursday, November 19th, 2009Hi folks, Just to let you know that we're going to be driving up from Plymouth to catch you in Exeter tomorrow night, any idea what time you'll be on stage, as then I know how fast I'll need to drive! On another note, seen you guys many times over the years (Maker festival, Shambala, Ashton court and the Bell in Bath) but your Arcadia performance at Glastonbury this year really blew me away (just caught up in the magic I guess!) anyway really looking forward to seeing you tomorrow, and can't wait for the debut LP. Best wishes, Dave.
- Dave
Hello
Posted Sunday, November 15th, 2009Hi guys (and girls), just a quick note to say loved the set at Oxford Cellar. I did monitors for you at Emmas Trust a few years ago, but havn't seen you since, so loved the new material. Hope to work with you again some time :-)
- Neil
Punctuation
Posted Saturday, November 07th, 2009Thankyou Susanna, it was a lot of fun at the Brook. We recorded the gig and will hopefully have some new live tracks very soon. I'm a bit dubious about your comments on the punctuation though - are you Steve in disguise??
- Smerins
Good show!
Posted Friday, November 06th, 2009Saw your gig at the Brook. Fantastic! And very pleased to see the band's name correctly punctuated, for a change! Catch you soon x
- Susanna
Thanks London!
Posted Friday, October 30th, 2009Cheers Selina and everyone who came to Cargo last night.... gig went so well, and seemed like everyone had loads of fun. Wicked! Hope you all liked the new tunes.... Southampton here we come!!

Great gig at Cargo last night - thank you!
Posted Friday, October 30th, 2009I was a massive fan already having caught you at festivals over the years, so I rushed to see you at Cargo last night and you blew the place up - properly filled that east london air with a lot of joy. Pleeeeeeeease come back again soon - we need your brassy beats in London more! x S

Posted Tuesday, October 20th, 2009I was shocked to note your absence from Shambala this year but I would be willing to overlook this unforgivable crime if you would release an LP on vinyl.

Holy f*ck, people!
Posted Friday, May 29th, 2009I´ve just realised that the night we´re playing at the Raglan festival, we´re up against none other than none other than Nicky Campbell (of ´Wheel of Fortune´ and ´Watchdog´ fame), who will be premiering his debut album at the venue down the road. It´ll be just like the time we played the bandstand at Glastonbury while Jay-Z was on the main stage.

Posted Wednesday, October 29th, 2008Hey guys, my name’s Laurie and I’m writing on behalf of Caudwell Children’s Charity. We work in providing specialist equipment and treatments to severely sick and disabled children in the local area. Were a national charity, but all of the money raised in Bristol would benefit the kids living there. The reason I’m getting in touch is to see if it would be possible to do a bucket collection at one of your gigs, I’ve always been a big fan and I think it’s great that a local group could possibly help local children. Looking foward to your response! Laurie.

18th october
Posted Friday, July 18th, 2008hi, i met the quietly lovely mr riches last weekend in bristol and enjoyed reading a book of questions at his kitchen table. i notice that you're all in london on the 17th october and i wondered if you'd like to stick around in town for the next night? it's my 30th and i'm planning a bit of an event. after listening to your music i'd really love you guys to be part of it. you're a bit skatalites/studio one with the cat empire and a pinch buena vista sprinkled on top. if you're vaguely interested and want to talk about it then drop me an email with a number and i'll get back to you

Saw you in Southampton and I got two suggestions for you. First, Nic should consider playing bass sax since he is so keen on playing low notes. It would be great for the band too. And how about that Netty? Whatever you do don't loose her. I almost fell in love with her...anyway...to the point...I would suggest you let her do some screaming solos, it sure looked as she has the chops and confidence to do it! Would be awesome!

Posted Monday, March 10th, 2008Hi there! Hoping to go to one day of the Lamer Tree Festival this year and want to tie our day in with your gig at the event as we have seen you there on previous occasions. Your webpage states Friday 18th, the Lamer Tree website states Saturday 19th - we don't want to book the wrong day. Are you able to shed any light on this, so we don't miss out on seeing you? Many thanks Hilary Green 10/3/08

Posted Thursday, August 09th, 2007Joe Well, crikey. I'm sure I speak for everyone here at Smerin HQ in saying... can we have some of what you were taking?! hehehe, but really Joe, thankyou so much for your kind words. I'm not sure how much of your euphoric life changing moment we can lay claim to, but if maybe we helped a little then it makes all the hard work worthwhile. George does this mean we can all retire now..?? See you at shambahlabalabalabalahh Netty's mum I understand your concern, believe me I do, but I think we could make some real money here..!!

Re: Pay for Netti?
Posted Tuesday, July 31st, 2007Ah, Neil. I notice you've substituted the 'y' for an 'i' since your last posting on this board. Are you still talking about the same Netty, or is there a Netti out there that we don't know about? Is she better than our Netty? I doubt it. Maybe it's a rare genetic mutation - an anomaly resulting from the less than scientific conditions under which I swabbed Netty's trumpet for those samples I sent you, causing this strange new variation. With further research, I am certain we will be able to harness this phenomenon, creating a whole wave of Netties with a variety of more and more complex spellings... Glad you liked the tunes.
- Steve
Pay for Netti?
Posted Tuesday, July 31st, 2007The links you sent were good, nice one! As for paying for Netti? I maybe interested in some DNA yes.... Does she know of the black market of DNA she is being pimped around on? Time for a cliche - Keep up the good work guys!
- Neil
Thankyou!
Posted Tuesday, July 31st, 2007Well that's high praise indeed ... I think?! Glad you enjoyed it Andy, we certainly did from our side of the stage, most excellent fun. nice1. Pedro ;)

DOCTOR WHO!!!!!
Posted Monday, July 23rd, 2007The high light of Sheep music was one of, if not your final track, DOCTOR WHO!!!! I have never danced so hard in all my life, and bought the CD in the hope it would be on there. It wasn't, but the CD was still bloody good stuff! Energetic swing, i was really very impressed! As for Netty- Marry me! Haha, thanks for reading! PS I will be willing to pay good money for a copy of Doctor who...good money! !X!X!

r.e. that drum'n'bass track
Posted Monday, July 23rd, 2007Ha ha! Well I think I can speak for the rest of the band and say yes - it is a bit of a pisstake when we play it live, but when we release the studio version it will be badbwoy... I actually have a sample of this as my ringtone (Warning - geek alert!) and if you or anyone would like it then email me. Nice one!
- Smerin
that drum 'n' bass track...
Posted Monday, July 23rd, 2007i loved what you did with it, but was it a piss take? your reactions made it seem so and me not being a drum 'n' bass fan thought it was an utterly sublime mix. You were definitely one of the highlights along with the glitzy baghags and ska cubano. keep up the good work fellas.
- Chris Lawrence
Saw you at sheep, WOW!
Posted Monday, July 23rd, 2007An amazing set, very tight! never heard of you before, just got back from the fest and listening to you guys right now, i wish i got a CD, very gutted! i really want to hear that drum n bass track you did, it so amazing, it was the highlight of the festival! NICE ONE!

The gig was great fun - cheers for that - but to all the fantastic people we met in and around "The Social" which we were hosting all weekend, you were all so lovely. My fave festival ever I reckon. Cheers!!!!! And for those that bought our CD please let us know what you think. Our album proper will be very different, but we're all happy with it as something close to what we do live. Enjoy....

Jah Humphreys Dr Who Dub Explosion
Posted Sunday, June 10th, 2007I've taken a bit of a liberty & re-mixed your brilliant Dub version of Doctor Who. I wanted to see what it was like mixed with the original 1963 Delia Darbyshire version. Different keys, different tempo's & riffs in a different order, ment that it took me about 3 weeks to do on Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/). Also threw in a quick sample from Mutagene's "Planet of the Evil Dub" & the "Scream" and "Spacenoise" from previous TV versions to highlight the beginning and end of the track. I think the overall result is pretty damn good, tho I say so myself as shouldn't! I'd love to send you an MP3 to see if you approve. Could you let me have an email address to send it too? All the best, Nik.

Why so short...?
Posted Tuesday, July 25th, 2006Just been reading a few comments on the myspace page too (www.myspace.com/smerins) Many people asking why our set was so short at Ashton Court? Well peeps, the simple answer is that the powers the be (i.e. the God Of Ashton) only gifted us a half hour set. Not complaining...ooh no...everyone gets their 30 mins, and ours was a stomper and no mistake. And the simple solution to your needs and withdrawals? August 12th at the Croft.
- Nic
Thanks to all...
Posted Monday, July 24th, 2006It's good to log on so soon after a gig and get your feedback - don't know if you could all tell, but I rather enjoyed Saturday's gig at Ashton Court too, not to mention last week at The Larmer. Join us for more wigging out on the 12th at The Croft, it's for a veeeery good cause. Nic.

Posted Monday, July 17th, 2006You were one of my favourite bands of the whole four day festival - and that's saying something considering the quality of the bands there this weekend. But you edged out there ahead of the rest due to having the honour of providing me with the biggest wig-out of the whole festival. :) cheers guys. .... see that mostly you've played your gigs down south. Why not venture up north sometime too, we'll make you welcome. :) Ruth, Manchester

Hey Tom
Posted Friday, January 20th, 2006It was great to have you back on stage ... lets do it again soon, and we definitely want lots of violin on our album. You're right, things have changed a bit since the good old "brown lodge" days, i think i've got some pretty shocking videos/recordings somewhere ...... don't think i'll be putting them on this site!
- George
Wicked night at the Bell
Posted Friday, January 20th, 2006Thanks Sue! I had a wicked time - it was soooo good to play with the band again after so long. It's amazing to experience how far the band has come since we started in George's student house (ah yes, the wonders of the Brown Lodge) as a little group playing little pub gigs around Southampton back in 2001. Now they're a group of increasingly amazing musicians who tear apart every place they play. Nice one!
- Tom (violin)
Great Time at the Bell Bath

Posted Friday, July 01st, 2005I got bored, tired and crowded during coldplay, and decided to find something better to do, and walked right into the middle of your f**king amazing glastonbury set! You guys were absolutley amazing, so much talent and musical skill going on, totally made my night. You also kicked arse on the stage near lost vagueness at glasto last year. That studio mix of Dr Who is currently blasting out thru my house, cheers for making it a great glastonbury, hope to see you play again soon... Ed at www.bottlebag.co.uk - check our band out!
- Ed - www.bottlebag.co.uk
Course they are better than coldplay!
Posted Friday, July 01st, 2005For me there was ONLY EVER going to be one saturday night headliners at glasto, SMERINS! Of course they are better than coldplay, they have got horns and some soul, something that seems to be drained from Mr Martin and co.. Anyway the Southampton crew loved you guys on saturday night, and we are sorry we didnt represent for you gusy during the day. Are you going to have the pics on the website? It would be awesome! You guys rule and we will catch up with you in Southampton!

Myself and my mate were on the floor at the bk of the room when u kicked off and you sounded so tight we thought it was a dj. Please play there again!!! If not then Il def be in london on the 7th May to see you. Keep it Funky!

F#'@ing A!!
Posted Monday, March 21st, 2005Saw you guys at Synergy on Fri... on a night of shite you were absofuckinlutely brilliant. Got your cd and tried to have a chat afterwards but was a little too twisted. I play in a band based in Oxford/London called Jaberwok (check out www.jaberwok.com) + we are coming from a similar place musically (dub-infused psychadelic funk) and would really like to get you guys down for a gig sometime cos you would go down like a storm round here and I reckon we would really complement each other. Anyway please drop me an e-mail if your interested. Will definitely see you at another gig soon. Jack
- Jack
And what's more.....

Like floating on a bed of big brass sound
Posted Wednesday, February 09th, 2005Yes Yes, well done to all of you Smerins once again pulled it right out the top draw for a cracking gig at the beloved talking heads. Sorry I missed you guys at the Sobar on NYE but I made up for it by attempting to launch myself into the crowd and revel in the sound. However I missed everyone and landed on the floor, Luckerlie for me the Smerins love was flowing and I i was pulled back up to surf the crowd.AWESOME!!!
- Jeff McSmerin Lover
I'll second that!!
Posted Monday, February 07th, 2005Oh yes... had an absolutely brilliant time, thanks to the amazing atmosphere created by all the lovely people in attendance. And Los Albertos - bloody excellent and no mistake, let's hope we'll 'ave it with them again soon.

Talking Heads Rocked HARD!
Posted Monday, February 07th, 2005Big up the Southampton people - it's gig's like that which make the hangover more than worthwhile. To those who got involved with the crowd surfing, you are irresponsible dangerous people, and I love you. Last but not least "Get Well Soon Pedro" and "Nice One John - not at all bad for a few hours rehearsal time!" Peace, and silly hair. Nic. x.

- Smerin
Radio - a debut?
Posted Monday, January 10th, 2005The sound of a musical toadstool echoed across the land yesterday - well, across Brent Cross at least. Brent Cross FM 87.7 broadcast "Toadstool" at approx 5.15pm yesterday, courtesy of the DJ Sam Bailey. (Where have I heard that name before...?) Was this your radio debut?

- Erin
Oi! Stop being silly! No, really, NO SILLYNESS.
Posted Thursday, July 22nd, 2004This would be the aforementioned ben from saafampton (init) and I would like to add my thanks to those from Bournemouth for the blinding set at the larmer and the great 'get-to-know-the-band' session of drinking and smoking well into the early hours after. Will see y'all at the partay tonight. And Scammell, I think its a bit harsh that being from the saafampton excludes me from thanking such great bands. Poor grammar, try harder next time! Have a banana! And a great summer! But not so great that you don't come back and play in my humble garden party... Jaminbury needs YOU! Jam
- Jamin
Oi! Stop being silly!
Posted Wednesday, July 21st, 2004Right, well.. Emily (aka Barbera) and Ben (champion chair bull fighter) have both gone on for ages about how good the Smerins are after seeing you loads at Southampton and I have to say that after now seeing you at the Lamertree, I must disagree. I would in fact say you stonkingly brilliant! Also, after meeting you all after the gig, it was discovered that you lot are really cool people... nice!! A big thank you then from the Bournemouth bunch (apart from Ben whos is from Saafampton init) for making our night, ney, weekend. You were the best band there by far! We look forward to seeing you again soon (Thursday I believe!) and hope to see you at Jaminbury! If I won't be seeing Humphrey tomorrow could you pass my e-mail on to him please. Carry on! Scampy and Hobnob (Barbs)

future gig
Posted Saturday, June 12th, 2004have heard some of ur stuff and think its awesome! just wonderin if uve heard of monkey bar in swansea and whether you would consider doing a night there? It provides diverse, eclectic and cutting edge night time entertainment, from dj dance nights ( d'n'b, hip-hop, world beats, house, latin, african and garage.) to live entertainment( jazz, acoustic and rock )and we think ud be awesome there! incorporating local national and international artists.
