newer bulletin
so, it turns out that it's quite hard to find the time in the day to remember to send a bulletin every day for a week.
it's a little like vitamins. we've never been good at taking them daily - and did you know that if you don't take them regularly you may as well not take them at all?
but i would say in my defence that, had I fulfilled the parameters of my challenge, our bulletins may have been boring, sir!
BUT!
thank you to everyone who bought the single! in all honesty, we have no clue whatsoever what the charts mean at this point! they are quite possibly entirely meaningless!
evidence for this is thus:
± the BBC Radio 1 Chart is different from the "Official" Charts Company chart
± we are apparently at #12 in the HMV chart
± we are at number 2 in the "Indie" Chart (but not featured in the "Rock" Chart, which angers us)

So! Make merry and fantastic! We love being at number two in the Indie Chart! Although it does damage our case for not being an indie band. In our heads we're more of a progressive doomcore outfit.
After touring up and down this country loads of times in the last six months, we're taking a holiday! It'll be the first set of more than three consecutive days that we've had off this year, and we're going on holiday to New York and surrounding areas.. is anyone from New York?
Where should we go?
Where should we eat?
Where should we buy our new outfits that will dominate the next six months of our lives?
All questions to be answered by you, our fine friends.
Love
Tigers
p.>s. who was your best at glastonbury? of the headliners, there was one that we liked and two that we felt less than enthused by. it's a big gig, dammit!
oh, and this lady was fantastic.
Day 4
Day 3
the seven days of advent. volume 2+3. wolves and lazy days
Body:
tigers!
i have been informed that yesterdays bulletin blew up the wireless in wolverhampton... i think in all the excitement of hurricanes being released and the gig selling out (which was our first ever headline show to sell out) it just couldnt take it.. ah well.
so yes! our new single Hurricanes came our yesterday and we're all pretty stoked. it has nice yellow artwork and some ace b-sides which we know you'll love. you can get all three formats at hmv for like £3 or something stupid so check it out. our friends at virgin megastores have been having problems with some stock but rest assured it will all be delivered by tomorrow morning latest so keep trying if you havent found it yet!
todays tour photo is us on the shores of lockness where we made friends with some police dog handlers.
the dogs were cool. and really scary too. like wolves.
the festvial we played there was called rockness and it was our first one ever. we have now realised that festivals are great cause you get to play for a bit then hang out and see bands. we saw soulwax play and caught up with some friends. they also give you free food.
tomorrow we are in southampton and then our tour ends in london on thursday which i think has also sold out. we'll see you all then!

DAY 1
he seven days of advent. volume one. bristopia.
Body:
dear assembled avengers,
prior p.s. we're playing bristol in an hour and a bit. amazing!X
(i know they're not Avengers; but it's a funnier photo)
For the next week, I will send you one bulletin per day, outlining what we've been up to, asking quiz questions, and putting a fun photo in it.
This is because HURRICANES is out tomorrow, and if you'd like to buy it, it'd mean much to us if you bought it this week (because then we'll go to number one; just like the KLF).
I figure if there are 15,000 of you, and you all buy it, that would actually make it number one. Imagine that. Insane.
I realise that those of you in other countries than the UK want it too! And maybe you can get it from this site, I'm not sure. Boy, we can't wait to come and tour the world. That's why we're in a band!

Here's the first venue we played on this headline tour - we've never seen our name in lights like this!
For everyone who's waiting for the photos of the crowd we've been taking, we haven't got it developed yet. It's an old camera, innit! We're not quite at the stage yet of disposable digital cameras/....
QUIZ SECTION
Two parts - one, who is going to Glastonbury? We can't! We have to record. But that means if you could buy the single before you go that'd be perfect. I know I'm going on about this but we've never sold ourselves heavily before.
Second part: who is better, Captain Kirk or Captain Picard?
Definitive evidence, coming tomorrow.

DAY 2 ADVENT
hello. we have sweated more than we have ever sweated in our lives. we have been hotter than all H-E-Double Hockey Sticks (HELL), and nearly perished in our own skin... that's where most people perish, i suppose.
tonight we played Wolverhampton. You were amazing. Amazing, I say.
These bulletins are brought to you by HURRICANES< the new single. Today, you can buy it from Amazon.co.uk:
pressure pressure! we're bein thrown out of the venue.
So I'll leave you
Have you had enough Spam today?
My buddy Jack stopped hanging out with me the other day because he plays drums and I play bass and he was totally like, "why do you look at me funny when we're onstage" and I was like, "why don't you take a random piss test?"
> he's got much to tell yu. I heard through my buddy DAN that Pull Tiger Tail were actually a boyband formed by the people who brought you BUSTED and MCFLY and BIFF TANNEN."
