May saw the band play the aftershow party for Alabama 3 at Carlton Studios in combination with the party for the Miscarriage of Justice Organisation (MOJO). Those of you who were there will remember it (perhaps!) as quite a night. Cheers to the folks at MOJO and Carlton Studios for their hospitality.

Ah yes, there's also the fascinating Nomadica jellyfish if you are really confused... http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=nomadica+jellyfish
