The Good The Bad have been confirmed to play the inaugural Cherry Cola Crawl Festival hosted by 'Cherry Cola', the revered London club night on 24th September 2011. Appearing alongside dignitaries from London's legendary music community including Steve Cradock (Paul Weller, Ocean Colour Scene), The Animals and Steve Diggle (The Buzzcocks), it will be TGTB's first UK appearance this year after recording their second album and touring Europe over the summer months.

So The Good The Bad are now four years young. We celebrated with a party at Mirage, a club with dancing girls in Copenhagen, which lead to a few tabloid headlines. It's good to help sell newspapers as well as music.

Film synopsis:
Working for Stanley (Danny Dyer), Woody (Robert Cavanah) is a pimp, hustler and fixer in Soho's sex industry who agrees to be followed and filmed by a documentary camera crew for one week. However, it soon turns out to be no ordinary week; one of his porn directors is behind schedule, he’s kicked out of his apartment for not paying his rent and he’s beaten up by his landlord and by Chinese thugs who are encroaching onto Stanley’s territory.

These are the least of his problems, though, as he finds out when one of his girls, Petra, goes missing. During his frantic search for her throughout the seductive Soho underworld, Woody soon finds himself starting to question his whole life – a life he now finds is spiralling brutally out of control…

Featuring an explosive cast (including Billy Boyd, Scarlett Alice Johnson, Martin Compston and Barbara Nedeljakova), Pimp is a sexy, exciting and action-packed look at the darker side of London’s glamorous and dangerous nightlife.

Just two days after The Good The Bad's second album launch party and Emma Acs debut gig in Copenhagen, we rudely departed for America on Mothers Day, resembling the walking, dribbling, un-son-ly dead. All was better though when we realised that our work visas (only just approved in time the week before) DID cover our 'secret' gig in Brooklyn, due to occur immediately after landing in New York. Otherwise it could have been a really short trip.

Slumping into our seats on the plane, it became clear that Continental Airlines should no longer to be likened to as the intercontinental version of Ryan Air. Lo and behold they have installed power points between the seats, serve you dinner with a metal knives and forks and employ a striking array of endearing celebrity look-a-likey air stewards resembling luminaries such as Whoopi Goldberg, Salvatore from Mad Men and Mr Miyagi. All very reassuring for insomniacs like us at 30,00 feet.

Upon being probed everywhere but between the buttocks on arrival, we headed straight for the Littlefield venue in Brooklyn to play a swift set alongside Casiokids, The Megaphonic Thrift and Spleen United who were also warming up for their impending trip to SXSW. That was quickly followed by a few frozen margheritas and a trip to Benny's Burritos in Manhattan. Both highly recommended. Without further a do we had to head back to the airport for our 6am connection to Austin. Not recommended at all.

No. Sleep. Till Texas.

The Good The Bad are proud to announce their impending debut into American territory with a much anticipated, action-packed trip to Austin, Texas next week. The band have been selected from over 10,000 applicants to play the much-lauded SXSW festival and arrive earlier than most artists on 15 March, after having been invited to support Billy Bragg, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly and Chris Shiflett (Foo Fighters) at a special gig supporting Strummerville and Jail Guitar Doors at the British Music Embassy.

Building up to their official showcase on Saturday 20 March, TGTB have several other raucous gigs, all listed below. Watch this space throughout the festival as the band attempt to fight off the temptations of world-beating barbeque munch and gallons of Shiner Bock in order to bring an up-to-speed account of what's going on Stateside. Because everyone knows The Good The Bad like to give rather than take.
