Playing Both Sides 7" - sold out from us... try Green Noise.com
Davey of Thrashers and Slashers blog reviews Flex Time here.
We only got 2 out of 5… from what I can tell he doesn’t like Airfix Kits because we aren’t as good as the Minutemen, a band that our previous band, Giant Haystacks was often compared to. For the record, we don’t think we sound like the Minutemen.
All ages house show in San Francisco with some great bands… it’s at the Kingston Street house, which is near Thrillhouse Records. Ask around there for the exact location if you need to…
A nice little mention of our show with X on the always enjoyable Victim of Time blog!
In case you’re wondering what the Al(l)ans look like with their mouths open. Stolen from Maximum RockNRoll, who stole it from Icki.
You’ll be playing both sides…of this single over and over! If this working class British accent is fake that makes this record twice as awesome. Or Oi!-some, though it’s Oi!-er in accent than execution (more post-punk wave-ish).

Texas was awesome.
This Saturday we are playing with the legendary X from Australia. Not X from Los Angeles, although that would be cool too. Also playing are the A Frames from Seattle. Little Queenie is Mark Murrman’s new band and it’s their first show. I think this is the first time we’ve played the Stork Club as Airfix Kits although I could be wrong.
There’s a facebook event if you’re into that kind of thing.
Unfortunately, Leatherface were denied entry to the country. The show is now FREE and the details are below.
Complete Chaos In Tejas calendar (with set times!) available here.
If you are planning on going to the Riverboat Gamblers show on Friday night, you should buy tickets in advance as it will sell out.
A review of both 7″s that doesn’t actually mention the music at all!
Airfix Kits recently released these 2 7″ ep’s, and it wasn’t until i had both of them in my hands that i began to appreciate their aesthetic. Both of these records take a very “no frills” approach stylistically while displaying a subtle sense of humor about themselves. “Playing Both Sides” uses original photography for a literal depiction of the title track, while “Flex Time” uses found images to create tongue in cheek references to the working world. i really like that both records kept their layouts to strict 2 color pallets even though they were both CMYK printed, and that the A/B labels are exactly the same type lock ups….. have a look.
