4th Jul

Hey everyone. So we thought it was about time to let you in on the plan for releasing our new album! This Is A Fix is out on August 25th, and Steve McQueen will be released as a single the week before on August 18th. If you wanna see the artwork (a bit bigger than the little teaser icon on the left there! haha) you can head on over to our myspace where we've put both covers in our blog.

For all those of you who might want to listen to the new single, we're happy as larry to tell you that it will get it's first play on Zane Lowe's show this coming Monday night. This is the first place you can hear it anywhere in the WHOLE WORLD so make sure you tune in from 7pm till 9pm on Radio 1 to check it out.

For those of you who prefer your music to come with a video attached, we shot the Steve McQueen flick a couple of weeks ago in the Mojave desert, California, and it'll be appearing on your screens next week. Keep an eye on the website/myspace after the weekend for the announcement of when and where you can see it!

On a Glastonbury related note, thanks to everyone who came to pack out the Left Field tent on Saturday night with us. We had an awesome time there and you can see some of the evidence in the form of photos, acoustic sessions (the first ever acoustic peformance of Steve McQueen), and interviews, by clicking here for the thread in our forum about

Also, for you web types, we've setup a Facebook page for anyone who prefers their online interaction to be conducted in that sort of fashion. Click here to be transported across virtual space and time for that one.

Safe. That should do you for now! Remember to keep an ear out on Monday night for Steve McQueen, and enjoy the sun while we've got it...

Love, The Automatic. x

'This Is A Fix' webisodes launched!

12th Jun

i wonder how John Terry is doing... still gutted i reckon. he missed one, i gave one away. penalties eh? crackers! it hit me hard. we lost the game against team average at soccer 6 in Reading, out of the tournament again! so i got wasted. (it's not big and it's not clever!) decided to pick a fun fight with Pritchard from Dirty Sanchez, (he is big and clever...?) which he gladly accepted, as a result i couldn't walk properly for a while. luckily the last show of our UK tour, in Wrexham, was a week or so away. plenty of time to recover.

Wrexham was ace and it marked the end of my first tour with the lads. super fun times were had. which included; a million gigs, 2 festivals, 2 soccer6 tournaments, 1 fa cup final (boo), clay pigeon shooting and loads of other stuff i'll never tell you.

Since then we've been writing and recording B sides, we have been in discussion with artist Dave Bailey over the nearly complete artwork for This is a Fix. Looks amazing! Now we're busy packing for LA to shoot the video for first single Steve McQueen. On return we hit Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds, interviews, photoshoots and all that jazz..... Album drops end of August you lucky buggers.

in other exciting news, we've just put the first webisode of 'This Is A Fix' online, at our brand spanking new youtube channel. webisode 1 is a live video put together from all the shows on the April tour, with a couple of live tracks thrown in there too... it looks mint, so click here to go check it out. there's some pretty cool old vids on there too which you might not have seen, including frost remaking snakes on a plane with his laptop charger...

On a personal note thanks to one and all for dragging me off the streets of Sunderland (great football team) and having me in this world beating super hella good rock outfittingtonhiemenburgh.

Cheers, and see you at the festivals! Paul x
