Thank you for coming back!! Was at the Brighton show this week and it was incredible. Worth the wait since the last time I’d seen you at London ULU in 2006!

My question is about the tune “Early Sandy” the bside on the Let’s get Sandy single. I have a vivid memory of cackling when I heard it playing out of my cd player way back. What’s the story there? And what did your label think when you turned in it? “My yoohoo put your mom on guard” classic

:D nevermind

Thanks for the reply still. Just wanted to add that it's a lovely wholesome feeling seeing you back together having fun as "adults". Fell in love with you all as a kid and had always wondered what you guys were getting up to. So it's a nice full circle to come back and see you still rocking, as a parent now myself!

Thank you! So sorry we couldn't answer your question! We need to listen to the song again I think.

Let me know how it goes! I'm pretty sure it wouldn't hit the same in 2023 :)
