Manchester City Council have begun taking legal action against the promoter of our last Manchester gig for the heinous crime of producing fliers on sticker paper. This wanton act of enviro-crime was presumably a way of producing less fliers that could be seen by more people, as each recipient finds somewhere they can stick it! I can only assume this is part of the council's 100days campaign to rid the city of 'vandalism' and 'enviro-crime' which seems to involve simplistic moves like hassling venues to give out the details of diy promoters and taking legal action against them. I don't see this happening to all the major label artists who have their latest release advertised on flyposters all over town, but that's a big profit making enterprise so it's probably regarded as advertising as opposed to vandalism.... (rant rant)

Thanks to all who've been involved in recent shows esp. Striker, Brixton Scum, the A.N.T.I. crew in Liverpool, Banjo, One Man Stand and all who've stood round and watched while we're sweating it out on stage and given us much appreciation. We're taking a couple of months out before doing a few dates around Europe. See you in September.

Planned dates are as follows: 15th Sep - Aalborg. 16th Sep - Flensburg. 17th Sep - Hamburg...

If you would like to see External Menace play in your area, why not pass our contact details onto your local diy promoter/squat/social centre and ask them to get in touch with possible dates. We are hoping to add a gig in Hannover at the start/end of the tour, more details as they come.

Unfortunately I won't be around to update the website so if we get more confirmed dates i'll keep people updated from a mailing list. Just send us an email if you wish to join our mailing list.

DOES ANYONE have any photos of Wee Wullie? If so and you are willing to part with them, let us know. We got asked by a family member if she could get hold of some images to remember him by.
