We have decided to release video diaries every few weeks so that you can all stay up to date with what is going on in the world of TBF. As explained in our first video, we realise we haven’t released any music in a while but that does not mean we aren’t always working on new stuff. Each video will feature new musical ideas and news directly from the band.
Enjoy!
Great news! Hot off the back of winning the Indy Awards’ Best Indie Act last month we have signed a recording and management deal with super-hip indie label The Animal Farm. Their current projects include Road to V winners Rosalita and Steve Lamacq favourites Ejectorseat, not to mention the generally massive One Night Only. We’re very pleased to be working with them now as a reward for your patience we will back in the studio working on lots of new things in the coming months.
Last Friday night we were lucky enough to win the award for Best Indie Act at this year’s Indy Awards at a glittering (not to mention star-studded) ceremony at the Forum in Kentish Town. It’s a huge honour to win and we’d like to thank all of you who voted us onto the finalists’ shortlist, thanks to the Indy Awards for doing a great thing, and thanks to all of you who were at the ceremony to support us in our absence. Oh, and thanks to my mom, and God and the fans and the prodoocers etc… Â
To celebrate this lovely award, please join us this Saturday (3rd May) at the Selkirk in Tooting for a victory party/gig/celebration type affair. It’s the usual 14+ rule so those of you who can’t normally attend gigs are especially welcome! Show starts at 8pm and we will have fabulous support from our friends Lowstar and China Dogs.
Keep holding the phone! We’ve been kindly asked to play a slot in the infamously glorious Camden Crawl festival this Friday 18th April (umm..that’s today). We’re playing at Tommy Flynn’s (number 55 on the High Street) at 3.15. So if you like your gigs early, your festivals mud-free and your fun spontaneous please drop by. Or if you already have a weekend pass add us to you schedule.Â
Hold the phone! Thanks to all of you who voted for us as we have been shortlisted for an INDY Award in the Best Indie category! It’s now down to the final 4 out of literally thousands of entries. The ceremony is next Friday and we’ll be sure to let you know how we get on.Â

We had a great time at the Selkirk gig and Jay would like to thank you all for the Happy Birthday rendition! Thanks to those who came and we sincerely hope you all had a good time. Just so you know, we properly appreciate it!
We are heading out of London for our next show (April 4th) so if you live anywhere near the Oxford area, see you at the legendary Jericho Tavern where Radiohead played their first gigs. Woo Hoo!!
To the Selkirk crew…we’ll see you again on the 3rd of May!
If anyone has any PHOTOS from the evening, we want to see them!!
It’s time for something a little bit special.  This weekend’s gig also happens to be the official launch party for our brand spanking new video for ‘Superhappy’ directed by Dan Shipton.  Be the first to witness our debut flick while enjoying what will undoubtedly be another bright, busy, buzzing night of Tooting-style joy at the soon-to-be-iconic Selkirk! See you there, let’s ram the place out once again!!

Music begins at 8:00pm. Support from Piccadillys and The Oolites.
For a second year running we have been nominated for an Indy Award. This means that from a pool of over 40,000 active bands in London we have been selected by a promoter and venue as worthy of recognition.

TBF are back in Camden Town this Thursday to perform at one of our favourite venues, The Dublin Castle. Naturally we’ll be playing all the greatest hits with a few new ones thrown in to keep you on your toes. Our last show there was a bit of a triumph so come on down and party hard with us again! Door is £5 with a flyer, which you can pick up from us outside.
We are sharing the bill with The Latter Day Saints, New York Alcoholic Anxiety Attack and Spring Tide Cavalry. Directions on the gigs page. See you there.
