After three years of service we have to say a sad farewell to our van as this weekend it goes to the great car park in the sky.
A Brief History
Soon after the van was aquired it was nicknamed “The Millenium Falcon”. This was because it looked a pile of shite and when we arrived places the phrase could be heard, "You came in that thing? You’re braver that I thought.
It hasn’t always been reliable but has supplied us with many stories that were very amusing, albeit retrospectivley. But being fair I can’t recall a show that we missed because of the van.
You can see a picture of it on our pics page.
Our show on Tue 24th, Upstairs at the Garage will be our last for a couple of months. So come along and say hi if your in the area.
We will be spending the time not just holidaying but finishing off the writing of the new album and then recording in July.
We have some shows in the pipeline for August so keep checking back for more details.
Sadly the Glowskulls have had to cancel their European tour for family reasons. Some shows minus the Glowskulls will still happen.
Here the press release from the VGS Site.
“One of the Casillas three, Jorge’s wife is having a baby and they think she might have it early. We are very sorry, we tried to plan around it. But unfortunately we cannot play without Jorge. So we will be taking most of the summer off to let Jorge do his thing. We will also be writing new music for the next VGS album. Again, we are very very sorry, but family comes first!
Thanks for understanding,”
Frank Voodoo.
As I said some of the shows will still be going ahead, without the Glowskulls of course, so keep checking back for updates.

The Glows Skulls are coming, and we’ll be supporting them on 5 dates this spring.
The venues and dates haven’t all been confirmed as yet but they will be at the end of April/begining of May. So keep checking the shows page for more details, I’ll post ’em as I get ’em.
We have been told that someone wearing a Kenisia T-Shirt was seen on a episode of ITV’s Trisha a while back, who were they??
We thank Mads from Mr Zippy for this eagle eyed spot, but we need more info.
Who were they?
Was it you?
Why were you/they on Trisha?
Excellent news. We will be doing a couple of shows with our heros, the legendary Suicide Machines in November.
We will be playing the shows in Exeter and Milton Keynes on the 24th and 25th of November.
There’s also a load of other gigs coming up so check out the <a href=“/shows/” ">shows page for details.
