BAND ACCIDENTALLY GIG-LESS

After a busy summer that culminated in a fabulous set at Bestival, a headline slot at Industry (see right) and a high-kicking birthday gig at Cocomo, Team Nately has all of a sudden found itself with an empty gig diary.

That's not to say that we won't be busy putting the finishing touches to our first album, breaking in some new members and generally taking the 'a' and 'd' out of rock and roll.

But if anything does crop up gig-wise, we'll let you know. Similarly, drop us a line if you need a clean, compact two-piece band to play at your party.

Thanks to everyone who made it to Industry for Al's birthday gig, especially our friends from the North who took these fab photos.

NATELY'S MERCHANDISE SURVEY
After the rousing success of our nately-branded but otherwise generic alarm clocks, we've been wondering what unnecessary merchandise to come up with next. Are you crying out for a Nately onion-peeler? Maybe you're pining for a Nately air freshener. We'll consider anything (expect tea tree oil-based cosmetics. That'll never work).
