More BOB NEWS - Any bands wanna let us play outta town with em?? We desperately need some kind of help because the so-called Uk scene is letting us down on the basis that we have no demo. I dont get it but for some reason we are not 'underground' enough or summits. I think maybe our jokes are taken a little too seriously. Please help us. We wanna play an all dayer if poss.
Any info, requests, or general stories of tomfolery, please email me [email protected]

See, I told you this wouldn't be updated every week cuz we're all lazy bums. In fact, we're so damn lazy that the site isn't even off the ground so this little essay is to kill some time at work...oops, don't tell the boss (hi Rick).
Well, the Hollywoods gig was a sham of a farce of a mockery of a sham. Basically both us and the PA sucked BIG STYLE. So, we changed tac a little on our style. We've become a bit nastier and more bitter. I guess it comes with the territory. We also wrote a couple of nice new songs; Bitter Recognition (my fav.) and The Conclusive Introduction. Bitter Recognition was a stand out song at our last couple of gigs (West Marsh, 2nd Feb & Spiders Web, 14th Feb) so we're gonna keep going down the emotional melodic route and see what develops.
Anyways, just got to say hello to the crew at this point and any foreigners reading (Felicia Zhuang, Allie, Heather and The Idgits)
OK, until the next update keep checking the gigs section for news and shit. The site should change and get better every time. Any suggestions should be e-mailed to [email protected].

At the minute we're all preparing ourselves for our second gig. It's to take place (or has taken place depending on when you read this) at Hollywoods Nightclub in Grimsby. The very same seedy dive that we call home on Tuesday nights. Our host is the legendary God of metal and all time rock DJ, Overlord Ants of Evil. After this gig (the set list of which comprises of us and us only!) we're hopping straight over to the Beachcomber for our gig supporting Freebase, Assert and Gluegun on Sunday 17th.
Well, one of the band (ie. me) should be updating this section every week at some point. I doubt that this will happen so don't hold your breath.

Following the Stoners of Doom's blinding yet bizare set and Foley's grunge revival it turned out that there was still plenty of time left on the clock. SOD and Foley had no problem with "treating" the crowd to an impromptue collaboration.
After this "delight" the crowd were still hungry for more and it was left to L2Y to fill the remaining time. This challenge was met with eagerness by all and our heros left the crowd rocking on their feet by performing Meaningless and White Chorus again but with added venom. Altogether a pleasing set which left both band, crowd and PA crew buzzing. The shit PA had been buzzing since we got there.
And now, with 2 band members re-located to attend anal university courses at Nottingham, the band continue to develop their individual style and hope to hit the town again with double the passion and double the material.
Check out the gigs section for more details and get your arse there...

The four practiced for a while (although not as often as they could have done) until they were approached by local heros and all time nutters, the infamous Stoners Of Doom to perform a gig with them and Foley at The Spiders Web. The gig was greatfully accepted as a chance to air the material and also to get some well needed stage experience for Lee, Joe and Ben.
However, three days prior to the gig, it was decided that one of the songs (Disaster Girl) was in fact shit. So, the crazy fools chose to write another song from scratch in exactly 2 practice sessions. Some said it was foolish and some said it was a stunt in order to perform the joke "We left it until yesterday to write this song". Still, either way, the guys put their thoughts together and came up with a song that was as tight as it was catchy. Strong, mellodic and meaningfull in less time than it takes a skutter punk to pick his arse and eat it. This song was semi-perfected and introduced to the eagerly awaiting public the following night.
The day of the gig arrived and the four set up the equipment. An emergency microphone was needed because Joe had cleverly left his father's mic in a taxi the previous evening (don't tell a soul, as he is still blissfully unaware of this) but this was kindly catered for by local indie band Acclaim (only because Joe's girlfriend Sally's brother played bass for them) and the show went on.
This being their first ever gig, L2Y were first on stage and got things swimming with an instrumental intro that was thought up the Sunday before the gig. It was also a good time killer. This took them straight into Meaningless; a melting pot of frustration, yet oh so catchy. White Chorus followed in order to keep the strength present and then the tempo was lowered with Cherub (written by Joe for Sally and kindly nicknamed "Gay Song" by Gaz, Lee and Ben). Then the new song was aired. Loosely titled Goodbye, it went by with one or two mistakes but none that the crowd noticed (bless 'em). It needs to be stated at this point that the song titles are not final and that a change may be on the cards. In fact the afformentioned song is now named Epitaph of a Broken Man.

Left To Yesterday started out with three members, Gareth, Lee and Ben. They started writing music that they liked the sound of without thinking about lyrics. After a while it was decided that a second guitarist was needed and Phil was drafted in to further extend their sound. When the four had gathered some tunes that they were pleased with they decided that it was time for some vocals.
They contacted their friend Joe to do some temporary vocals until they found a perminant singer. However, the guys thought that Joe had the type of voice that they were looking for and, after seeing some lyrics he had already written, they chose to keep him in the band. Other reasons for keeping Joe on were that he had keys to the workshop where they practiced and because he made a great cup of coffee.
The first song that the five got together properly was quite odd. It was one of those things that only happens once in a while. They put together a catchy tune that was packed with emotion and venom in a matter of minutes. Joe looked through his lyrics and found that one particular set of words fitted perfectly. It was tight within minutes and is still their best song to date. It started out with the title Meaningless but was then renamed Meaningless (drowing in air).
The band went on developing their sound together. As they brought more and more songs to fruition it became apparent that a second guitarist was not really needed. Unfortunately we had to say goodbye to Phil. He moved on to pastures new (Jon's band) and five became four. This was a short while before the first gig.
