Greetings SUBSETTERs and welcome to the other side of the new year.
We all hope that 2012 has started off well for you and that you have plenty to look forward to over the next 12 months – SUBSET certainly has!
Everyone here at SUBSET HQ is busy chasing, hassling, poking and prodding various representatives of myriad UK festivals (as well as a few international ones) in order to get your favourite fuzzsters on as many festival line-ups this year as possible. They really want to get to play for you all and they enjoy a good festival as much as anyone reading this :0)
“Festivals are great, especially when you’re there with a bunch of buddies” enthuses Rob. “Yeah,” agrees Jay “the fact that you leave the real world outside and only have to think about three things: Which band to see next, what to drink next and what to eat next”. Rom adds: “sleeping is optional!”.
They are currently in contact with loads of festivals from the small local bashes all the way to the big boys such as Sonisphere, Download and Glastonbury.
“We hope that they all take us seriously no matter what size they are” says Rom “We want to play them all even if it is the first slot in the morning – once the dedicated music fans and seagulls see us and hear us they will remember us”. “We definitely need to play these festivals this year before the world ends on December 12th” states Jay. “That’s rubbish and you know it” says Rob “Marty McFly went to 2015 so the world can’t end in 2012!” Who are we to challenge Rob’s knowledge of the Back to the Future series of films?
If you are arranging a festival or have a favourite local one which we might have missed please let us know at the usual email address: SUBSETuk@gmail.com 
The lads have kicked off their year with a very constructive first session at the Fuzz Cave and have started filming footage for a new video to be released very soon. During the shoot the very talented Adrien Daste snapped some behind the scenes photo’s which can be seen on the band’s Facebook page here.
Talking about video’s – in response to your Christmas wishes the lads have started to film interviews in order to answer some of the questions you have about them. The first in the series is a candid question and answer session with Jay ‘The Sheriff’ Garrett. The interview covers how long he has been playing bass, which other bands he has played in as well as his martial arts background and his day job and much more. There will be more to follow as soon as Rob and Rom are sober enough to answer questions.
You can catch up on any videos which you may have missed at SUBSET’s video channel here 
Keep coming back for more videos and more news!
Here’s Jay’s interview:
