This afternoon, at the time of writing, The Huddersfield Giants are playing in the Rugby League Challenge Cup Final. We did a kind of tribute song for them called 13 Men, which you can hear on our MySpace page:

Neil Atkinson of the mighty
Huddersfield Daily Examiner interviewed Young Armitage about it, and printed the lyrics - thanks, Neil:

Best of luck this afternoon, Giants.
A heads up, as they say in Shoreditch, for ScaremongersWatchers out there for a rarer than hen’s dentures TV appearance for our favourite Colne Valley Combo.
The BBC’s estimable flagship arts magazine, The Culture Show, returns on BBC2 on Tuesday 4 June at 10 pm and toppermost amongst its items is Mark Kermode (like Armitage, another alumnus of the old late night Mark Radcliffe Show) who ‘accompanies Simon at the ordeal of his first ever gig as the lead singer of the Scaremongers in super cool Shoreditch’. In this post-Top of the Pops/Whistle Test world this is surely as good as it gets. (For this viewer, apart from the obvious thrill of this televisual treat, we’ll be seeing if the footage of the now legendary Gramaphone Club gig corresponds with our memory of it — particularly as we were standing right next to the camera operator’s ear hole like supernumerary key grips or summat.) Anyway, catch the show on Tuesday — another accomplished first for the Scaremongers.

Maybe for other people it would get tedious, but I'm still thrilled to hear myself on the radio. Maybe it's vanity, maybe I'm like narcissus staring into a pond at my own reflection, but so what: The Scaremongers were on Radcliffe and Maconie, again, and I couldn't be happier.
