 PLANS TO BROADCAST THE SUBS LIVE
Jamie is currently planning to do a LIVE broadcast on 19th May at the U.K. Subs' gig at the Fleece in Bristol. With Demob and The Richard Heads in support this promises to be a great night for Subs fans worldwide. The last time Jamie attempted this (see 16/03/2012 news story below) he set up a webcam but didn't have time to do any pre-production or advertising.
Even so, the broadcast still attracted over 500 viewers to watch the show live.
Jamie is working on a couple of issues, and will be using multiple cameras including a crowd-cam. Utilising professional software to make all this happen and Jamie is confident he can get around 10,000 viewers this time.
So if you can't make the show you can tune in and watch online for FREE by going to Jamie's Facebook page and clicking the 'Ustream Live' button.
Saturday 19th May - 7.30pm
UK SUBS & Demob & The Richard Heads

LOUISE DISTRAS INTERVIEWED ON GUARDIAN PODCAST
“Feminist punk” Louise Distras has been interviewed for The Guardian Music Weekly Podcast which is now online! You can listen in at 37 minutes to hear Louise talking about her mission to bring punk, politics and protest back into the mainstream.
The podcast also features the album version of her track ‘Bullets’, produced by Steve Whale, and featuring U.K. Subs’ indefatigable Jamie Oliver on drums, as well as Mick Talbot (of Style Council and Dexys Midnight Runners fame) on keys. The track isn’t available to hear anywhere else prior to Louise’s debut album release later this year.

 JAMIE TO BE EXPERIMENTED ON AGAIN!
After Subs drummer Jamie Oliver joined the The Clem Burke Drumming Project for a first set of scientific experiments at Gloucester University on 3 April, he is now down to be tested further 'live' at the Subs' forthcoming gig at the 100 Club on 17 May.
The Blondie drummer's project is "based on the pursuit of knowledge through the application of scientific principles to the various art forms of drumming. It is committed to the dissemination of information leading to increased enjoyment, health and well-being of all participants involved in drumming..."
Jamie has revealed that they "will be monitoring heart rate, lactic acid in the blood, core temperature using an edible radio transmitting thermometer which will send a signal to a thermal receiver which will be placed on my body, and they will also be measuring my weight before and after the show."

 "People, people, people, get involved. Play your guitar, do your fanzines, take photos BE INVOLVED. One day it could all be worth something because it's not only history but the future too. So live it, don't just be part of the audience, participate."
Charlie Harper, 17 December 1998 - quoted from an interview in Scanner Fanzine Issue 3
"If you want to know more about the line-up changes, or spot any holes in the discography, please make an urgent appointment with a counsellor. The UK Subs are an institution, of sorts. The fact that I like them, despite being as fashionable as asbestos, doubtless disqualifies me from polite society."
 ...which is our favourite quote from 'No More Heroes', by ALEX OGG.
