01/06/2004 - The John Inness gig was
incredible, the crowd reaction to Puc was great. Thanks to
all those who came along and supported, the EP's sold out in
a matter of minutes and the guys loved the attention they
received. New song "Confess" went down well, or it might
have been called "Execution", I can't remember...was too
busy watching the chaos unfold. Danny and Jay ended up in
the crowd at the end during "Patriotism".
Puc are taking a break now until the end of June to focus
on examinations. But they will be returning to the live
scene on 29th June at The Cartoon Club, Croydon so make it
down if you can. The gigs page has more details.
20/05/2004 - A Demonstration EP is now available,
can pick up a copy at Phungus Puc gigs. New date added, kind
of short notice, Friday 28th May the boys are playing at
John Innes Centre as part of a charity gig. Phungus Puc are
main support, should be onstage around 9.15 PM. Summer gig
dates are now beginning to be sorted:
June 29th - Cartoon Club Croydon
July 2nd - MeMu, Wimbledon
July 6th - The Peel, Kingston

to become a live favourite.

The EP is being mass produced tonight and shall be available
for sale at the cost of £3.00 at the Teddington gig
tomorrow, hope to see you all down
there.
25/04/2004 - The Charles Cryer gig saw Puc
put on a much better peforming, featuring the legendary
"Mosh For Jesus" and a drum solo from DK who found himself
on a raised platform. Despite poor sound quality from a poor
venue (it had seats for Christ's sake!) the boys still made
a good impression, all credit to The Chase as well who we
are hearing good things about. Thanks to all those who came
down and to Greg from The Chase for landing Puc the support
slot. The Peel gig for July has been confirmed, Puc will be
supporting up and coming Johnny Panic who have been on Xfm's
Music Response. Please all remember that Puc are playing
live in Teddington on Saturday 1st May and we'd appreciate
it if everyone got down there, DK is working on getting the
'A Demonstration EP' ready for the gig. We're also going to
start work on some t-shirts, head over to the messageboard
and let us know what you think about the designs and ideas
that are flowing.
15/04/2004 - Phungus Puc played
main support to Vesca last night at The Peel, Kingston as
part of a Sad Ed Promotions night. Thanks to the sixty-nine
people who turned up, they were treated to a great set with
plenty of comical banter. If you'd like to see Puc again

Theatre, tickets are £4.00 and for more details check

and now been mixed, the artwork and CD copying is now

updated.
10/03/2004 - A studio has been found,
titled The Green it shall be used by Phungus Puc for a quick
rehearsal ahead of the gig in Portsmouth on Saturday. New

aim is to get something on CD ready for The Peel on April

16/02/2004 - The Vent very
well, Puc played well considering the changed line-up. Good
to see the message board is buzzing with people. Updated the
band page, will be finished soon. Creature Feature will be
updated tomorrow and added another live date, Puc will be
playing MeMu again on July 9th.
14/02/2004 - Phungus Puc put on
one hell of a performance last night at MeMu, playing rather
high up the bill they came on to quite a big reception and
proceeded to start the most violent moshpit of the night.

see you down at The Vent! Oh...and Happy Valentines Day! The
band page is almost done, check it out!
07/02/2004

Horseshoe, Portsmouth. YES THAT DOES SAY PORTSMOUTH! Puc
have also been confirmed for this years Glastonsurrey, their

these gigs, The Vent tickets are going fast so get onto
www.oxygen-online.org and reserve yours as soon as possible.

02/02/2004
- Gigs page has been updated. Two new shows added, Puc

Sad Ed gig is also in the works, Wednesday 14th April

Peel, Kingston.
28/01/2004 - The Sad Ed gig at

wanted to say thanks to everyone that came along to our gig
and i also want to remind you we have a gig @ The Memu in
Wimbledon on Friday 13th Febuary! (day before valentines,
hint hint ;-)) Anyways there is talk of getting a split E.P.

Peace Out
Jay xxx

at: http://www.oxygen-online.org/bandspot/PP
16/01/2004 - King's Head show is fast
approaching. Got a practice in today and it's sounding good,
a new song is almost ready to be debuted and a cover song
will be done...what it is you shall have to wait and see.
Puc will be on at 8pm so make sure you are down there early
to get a few drinks in beforehand...some nudity has also
been promised. According to Sad Ed, the gig may well sell
out! Added a lyrics page, and updated the Biography.
30/12/2003 - Patriotism video was recorded

King's Head gigs are now available, will scan a copy in and
email it round. Took some good pics of the band in action.
29/12/2003 - King's Head show is confirmed,
Phungus Puc will be part of the support for The Pirate
Fiasco, along with Dangerous Pie and Putsch. See gigs page
for details.
23/12/2003 - Phungus Puc will be
playing the King's Head, Fulham on January 23rd 2004. Check
gigs page for more details.
08/09/2003 (8:10pm) -
Updated a minor glitch with the band profiles, the pictures
on the profiles should work fine now. Lyrics page will be
ready soon, it will contain lyrics for a number of Phungus
Puc songs so you can be in good voice when the Puc start to
appear live. Added a contact address on the live dates page
for you to contact the MEMU gig for more information, please
show interest in this and they will be more likely to book
us.
06/09/2003 (8:00am) - Changed the opening
page a little, put the emphasis on dis-united kingdom, was
reading the lyrics the other night and just scribbled down a
couple of lines relating from that one line. Updated Phungus
Puc Live page. A demo of "Sandy" will be available on CD,
limited number of copies will be made, let us know on the
message board how much you are willing to pay for one, I
reckon £2 should do it. Ed is working with Al Arthurs
to try and secure a reasonable price for the demo CD.
05/09/2003 (7:19am) - Working on getting the
Phungus Puc demo put out on CD format in the next two
months. We have a contact offering us a good deal to put the
mini-disc songs onto a CD with complete art work and on-CD
printing. DK's doing the editing of the songs and they
should hopefully be ready by October. The demo will
definitely include, "Dis-United Kingdom", "Patriotism",
"Sandy", "You + Me" and "The Porn Song".
30/08/2003
(8:49am) - DK posted an update about how the 26th and
27th recordings went:
"So yeah, Tuesday's studio jam started off bad, with
Daniel M not recieving any of my messages to him, so he was
late, and Jay being late and not having any lyrics with him.
After that it got good with our fuck about jam getting a few
things done then going a bit sick and pulling off some cool
stuff you may get to hear sometime. Wednesday's jam was
great, we got four songs recorded, would have been five but
we have misplaced some lyrics somewhere, and Ed is the only
person left with a copy. Not only that, but Danny improved
upon his solo in Patriotism, which was nice. The only
downfall is that the Porn Song hasn't come out too well on
the Mini Disk. Jay took it home and said it's all scratchy
and bad, but the other three are sorted. Since coming home
I've been sitting with Danny's old guitar plugged into the
mixer getting some rough ideas down for yet another song,
all lyrics done on it, but a lot of work still needs to be
done music wise. When i get a copy of what we have recorded,
I will begin recording the drums to do proper versions of
the songs and maybe even put these demo versions online for
you all."
The guys will be working on some songs tonight to try and
nail that perfect sound, we're working on those live dates.
Phungus Puc Live section of the website will be coming soon,
remember if you want a band to play at your birthday party
then I think they'll do it (for free).
22/08/2003
(9:03am) - Review of Rancid's new album Indestructable
added. Next tuesday will see the boys back in the studio to
finally lay down this demo. There are also rumoured to be
two gigs around Halloween with Phungus Puc playing, we'll
keep you posted. I'm away for a week so no site updates
until around August 30th.
21/08/2003 (7:23am) -
Tuesday saw the three Daniel's having a musical jam. Reports
are that it went will and they are sounding tight and
together. DK also informed me that a 'ska' song is being
worked on, should be interesting. The wednesday jam was
cancelled after Jay was unable to attend and the band were
unable to put down a demo onto mini-disc. Plans are now
being made for a session on tuesday to try and capture five
or six songs on mini-disc.
19/08/2003 (11:43am) -
Added a review of Serafin's new album No Push Collide.
19/08/2003 (8:18am) - Back from V2003 now, was a
great time...I'm up early, I think I have an early morning
complex. Today the Daniel's will be jamming to really gel
together the music of the Puc in the studio and will try and
record onto mini-disc their individual parts for tracks
which should make it easier to edit. Tomorrow will see the
whole band back in the studio for four hours to run through
every song available and try and record as much as possible.
07/08/2003 (7:57pm) - Updated a few of the whole
band pics, DK's posted a short update on the message board
if you want to read it.
04/08/2003 (8:45am) - The
reviewing machine that is DK has done another one, Finch are
subject to a nose-bashing in the album review section, find
out what DK thought of their album 'What It Is To Burn'.
Remember if you have any reviews then please send them in.
Things are pretty quiet for the Puc at the moment due to
band member holidays, however towards the end of the month
then things should get a bit more noisy. Two news songs
emerged from a jam between Jay and Danny, 'You + Me' and
'The Porn Song' look set to be added to Puc's ever expanding
roster of songs. 'The Porn Song' is a short little ditty
about well, porn! 'You + Me' is a beautiful slow burning
epic of a song, it'll rip your heart out and have you
swaying in time with Danny's perfect acoustic sturmming.
Hopefully Puc will get the chance to debut the songs live at
some point next month.
19/07/2003 (9:18am) -
Easyworld review is up, check it out if you feel a need.
(Hopefully you do!) I forgot to tell you that DK informed me
a few days ago that the song 'Q & A' has been worked on
and is taking shape.
18/07/2003 (5:22pm) - Put a
new review up today, Serafin from wednesday night, have a
read and if you want to come and see them give me a shout. I
saw Easyworld last night and they inspired me to work on
some lyrics that I've had buzzing around my head, so I'll
give them to DK or Danny and attempt to get something going.
As it is the holidays I can hopefully work a bit more on the
site!
08/07/2003 (7:42pm) - The site may often be
down over the next week as we attempt to really work on
everything and get all the pictures finished, so do not be
alarmed. DK, Ed and Alex managed to get some work done on a
new song today, 'Q & A' is the working title and should
hopefully be finished up as soon as we get a second verse.
The band, minus Jay (who is going on holiday soon) will be
recording some material to be mixed and hopefully put onto
CD soon.
29/06/2003 (9:50pm) - Earlier today then
Phungus Puc played their first ever live gig together, after
much deliberation they arrived at a setlist...and after a
short wait for Jay then the gig got underway. As part of
'Glastonsurrey' they were second on the "stage" and played
very well for a first outing. The set consisted of the
intro, 'Dis-United Kingdom', 'Letters to God', 'Sandy' and
'Patriotism' complete with Danny's truly stunning solo! Well
done lads and everyone involved! Oh and Danny's girlfriend
for screaming so loud inbetween and during songs...rock....!
25/06/2003 (7:00am) - Added another review to the
gigs section, I'm getting good at that. Band is practising
hard for their first gig this weekend, at
'Glastonsurrey'...a six song set is rumoured to be played,
I'm afraid it's an invite only gig as it will be the band's
first performance with the new line-up.
19/06/2003
(5:49pm) - I've changed the picture gallery for Danny. I
recieved some feedback that you were having difficulty on
slower computers quickly viewing all the pictures, so I've
put a thumbnail index in so you can see all the pictures of
Danny in mini-view and then click it to bring up a larger
scale pic. Any problems then drop an email through or post
me a message on the message board, all feedback appreciated.
A jam should be happening over the weekend, more details as
they emerge...also Phungus Puc are definitely a part of
'Glastonsurrey' but are unable to play the MEMU July 18th
gig due to Jay being away on holiday. However, Phungus Puc
will most likely be playing the MEMU gig in September to
make up for this...and Jay has promised a number of gigs
soon. Plus the band will be covering "Boys Of Summer" by The
Ataris!
11/06/2003 (8:55am) - Started work on the
Puc'ers section, this is slowly taking shape, check it out.
I've added the 'Puc of Fame' section and also got the
Mailing List available for you to register with, please sign
up, only takes two minutes. DK's photo gallery is complete,
I've really been working hard this morning.
09/06/2003
(8:51am/5:43pm) - The 'History' page has been updated,
to include a little something about Jay. Also on the message
board then the logo which appears in the background has been
removed, it was making the text hard to read for people. I
am working on making it so the logo is not repeated across
the screen. Also will have a page up soon so you can get
yourself registered on a Phungus Puc mailing list. I also
took a break from revision for Theology and listened to the
new Radiohead album, you can read my review of it in the
album reviews section.
07/06/2003 (9:54pm) -
Added a 'Whole Band Pics' section, hope you all enjoy them,
more to come of course, just a few to wet the appetite. Mono
and DK picture gallerys are on their way. Also Phungus Puc
may be playing 'Glastonsurrey', more news as it comes!
04/06/2003 (3:06pm) - First update for June, just
a short one to say that a few more pics of Danny have been
put up, almost finished his gallery now. Head over to the
message board and join in the great "What Cover Shall
Phungus Puc Do At The First Gig" debate!
30/05/2003
(8:39am) - And they've finally found what they're
looking for...Jay is now the vocalist of Phungus Puc after
well, he sang about ten seconds of a Box Car Racer track, it
was just impressive! He has a voice that well it's Blink
style, with a slightly Michael Jackson edge and it sounds
great. 'Sandy' was fully recorded, with the new lyrics, and
Jay fitted right into the song and made it his own. Jay's
profile is now up for you to read, and once I get all the
pictures up you can see what the new guy looks like. Well
done to DK for finding him! I've got a bit of Danny's
picture gallery up...christ it's baking hot!
29/05/2003 (8:02am) - Early start again, sun is
shinning and thats a good omen as today is a big day for
Phungus Puc. Once again they are back in the Barnsfield
studio to attempt to lay down a new version of 'Sandy' which
is gaining a cult following...and more importantly Jay is
joining the band to try his vocal skills. I shall have my
digital camera with me to try and capture the pain, agony
and ecstasy of the possible new vocalist as he attempts to
strut his stuff...I hope this all goes well! Shall report
back later with what happened.
22/05/2003 (7:28am)
- 'Talash Says...' is our brand new feature, you can now
have the power and knowledge of Talash's random facts to
baffle and confuse your friends!
20/05/2003 (9:27am)
- Couple of new album reviews up and our first festival
review is up thanks to Alex, he's turning into a reviewing
machine like DK! I am working with Talash to produce a brand
new and exciting feature for the site, will be up within the
next couple of days.
19/05/2003 (7:37am) - Two
new gig reviews are up, for Feeder and The Wildhearts so
take a look at those if you get a moment. Remember if you
agree or disagree with a review then post on the message
board and let the reviewer know your thoughts! Myself and DK
today will be enquiring about the possible gig on July 18th,
attempt to get more information about it.
18/05/2003
(9:15pm) - I cracked on with some new stuff this
afternoon after my revision and the Grand Prix. The links
section is now up, so take a look and you could discover
some other great sites like this one, be sure to check out
the links to other local bands, they need your support just
as much as we do! The reviews section is gradually taking
shape, a slow process but I am finally getting all the old
reviews from the old site up on there, DK is like a
reviewing machine, might get a few of my own up if there are
any left. Feel free to send us your reviews, bit boring if
it is always the same few reviewers. Also just tweaked the
band history slightly. Good luck to all those who have exams
this week!
16/05/2003 (7:28am) - I'm up early
again, reviews section is slowly beginning to take shape.
Thanks to Alex for contributing his reviews, remember feel
free to send us a review on any gig, album, single or
festival you've been to. Hope you're all enjoying the newish
looking message board.
15/05/2003 (8:04am) - Hard
to believe but Daniel M has finally got his profile,
incredible it is! Check it out and if you want to leave a
message for the 'Big Bird' himself then head on over to the
Phungus Puc message board and join in the fun. It's almost
like a living, breathing community of punk....well not
really!
14/05/2003 (10:14pm) - Sorted the mistakes
out with the site, Geocities went a bit crazy when DK tried
to get technological! Anyhow, the history page is now up and
Danny and DK's page now have a picture for their profile.
Poor old Mono will get his profile tomorrow if all goes
well. Danny's photo gallery should also get done in the next
couple of days. And the Puc'ers section, expect to be able
to sign up during half-term! If you believe the news on the
message board then the band are in talks with a lead singer,
the excitement!
13/05/2003 (9:52pm) - Site looks
better now I think, hope you like the little scrolling
pictures below. Dan K's page is almost up and ready and
profiles will have pictures soon. Also a short history of
Phungus Puc will be available for you to read
soon!
13/05/2003 (7:27am) - Changed the main logo,
a nice shade of green. Will be putting the rest of the pics
into their right places soon.
12/05/2003 (7:22am)
- Photos will be uploaded on tuesday, will try and get
them onto the right pages as soon as possible. Starting with
Danny, as he has the most photos (What a suprise!) Might try
and change the layout of the site soon.
18/04/2003
(8:23am) - The photo's from the jam session are taking a
while to load up, my file transfer is buggered so I'll try
and do it today from a mates house. Dan (Drums) will be
interviewed today hopefully and his page will be up soon.
"Sandy" now has four verses and a possible chorus, and next
week could see a re-recording to try and perfect the song.
I'll also we adding the 'Puc'ers!' page soon so you can get
involved in helping to promote the band.
16/04/2003
(8:43am) - Danny's page has gone up with all the info I
have available so far, expect a couple more details to
appear soon. Photos of the blonde one will be ready at some
point nearer the end of the week.
15/04/2003 (9:46pm)
- Phungus Puc rocked today in the studio, and a brand
new song is fully recorded and could well be ready. "Sandy"
came out of nowhere really and with Ed again penning some
lyrics a pop-punk anthem was born, Danny's vocals are coming
on and it sounds very nice :) I interviewed Danny for his
page today and that will go up shortly.
15/04/2003
(8:29am) - Added a new message board, feel free to post
whatever you want on it. Expect band members to make
official posts from time to time. Recording process part II
today!
14/04/2003 (9:02pm) - First jam session for
quite a while and I can safely say that the band sound
really good, however, vocals are a problem. A new song has
emerged, called "Walking Down The Road" written by Ed of all
people, close band friend, Alex, appears to be taking vocals
for the track which has a real jumpy chorus. An old
"Happy-2-Oblige" track is also being re-worked and having
lyrics added. However the search for a permanent vocalist
will continue. All going well there will be a 3/4 track demo
ready by the end of tomorrow.
14/04/2003 (8:40am)
- Today sees the beginning of the Phungus Puc recording
process, two days at 'The Peel' should see hopefully a demo
ready for you all to listen to. We shall keep you posted
with regular updates on the next two days and how they are
going. A digital camera is being taken and I will be
snapping the band in action.
