Absolutely nothing. Thats my point.

Secondly, all the venues around town have gigs on till around 11 then a club night with DJs
Not true. We were planning to finish completely at 11:30 knowing that there would be a portion of the crowd hoping to go to both gigs. 11:30 would've left plenty of time for those people to head up to the village. Since its free in to our night, its quite possible they couldve afforded the €15 entry fee to yours.

Apologies. I didnt mean
literally when the doors open. But in fairness, you really do have to squint to see the names of the four local bands on the poster. Personally, I just find it unfortunate that (ex-)musicians DJing other peoples music get a superior billing than local musicians performing their own.

We were cool with Stef playing youre gig aswell as ours. In fact we asked him just to do an acoustic set, so as to make his slot at our gig a little different than the one at yours.

But rather than just pull Stef from the Noise Party I asked Stef to get what I personally think is a great band called The Gurriers to replace him so as not to leave the Noise Party without an act.
Personally, i havent heard or seen them and we'd rather not offer them a co-headline slot at one of our gigs. Besides, the last eyebrowy cartoon has generated considerable curosity about The Mighty Stef with people who are unfamiliar with his live show and would be well up for seeing him play at a free gig. I imagine theyre less curious about The Gurriers. Thanks but no thanks.

As for never releasing a record, we have not done so yet but that does not mean we are not going to.
I just find it strange that CPU Records has (as of yet) had nothing to do with buying, selling or putting out Records. Unlike EMI Records, Island Records, Rough Trade Records, Tower Records.

The Noise Party ...booked an act they knew we had already booked
We'd asked stef to do this gig a long time ago although the date of the gig remained uncertain. Organising gigs on a free basis means we're very limited to the dates we get offered, and it just so happened that we were offered the venue on halloween night due to a cancellation.

I wish the Noise Party and eyebrowy every success, theres room for us all with no need for bad blood.
You decided that there wasnt room for us all when you asked our co-headline act not to play at our gig.
