The Butcher Says...

Max Eider's new album is out and available at the newly-renovated Eider website

Any dates you see listed here from now on will essentially be solo gigs by me. I shall be aiming to style myself simply "Pat Fish" wherever I can, though no doubt some promoters will still prefer to list me as the Butcher.

Those of you who haven't seen me for a while will find themselves confronted with large swathes of new material, both acoustic and electric.

Cheers now, Pat xxx

Sorry about the weird message about writing the songs below. Somebody must have read that and contacted somebody-I found out that it is a quantas/quantex phone hat system that is used by phone companies and computer programmers for some kind of werido signal tower that did this. That message about writing songs is true though, more like ages 7 to 32 years old, doubtful I'll ever get paid.

This "phone hat BS" is all those people who do that weird drug called "caviar balls", "rocket re-entry balls" or "goo balls", a marble shaped plastic sphere with a gas like substance inside that is smoked/inhaled through something called either a space, dragon, or "spider" pipe. Not just a USA thing, they do these things over in the UK all the time..pretty elite crowd though....

I can make that stuff and I have done that stuff with a few musicians over the past 32 years, but the stuff costs up to $2000.00 a ball. Anyway they run the phone hat crap so I'll be forced to make some goo balls again. Oh well it has been 7 years since I last had one......

all we have to do (we, regular basic fan) is sending many many many messages to places like "l'européen", "la java", "le divan du monde", to tell them to invite Mr Fish to come and play music (if possible on a saturday night)...!!!

Ok then I guess this message will confirm to some that I am crazy..

Anyway after a weird 3 years of psi-op BS I am have come back into some memories from my past. When I lived in Park Ridge, Illinois circa 1976-1977. I spent time working as a songwriter at the tender age of seven years old. I knew you Pat Fish along with Bauhaus and a score of other UK musicians because I was given guilderman's publishing slots for a songwriting contest. I think you should have said something back in 99/2000 when the JBC played with my friend Steve Valentine, and I apologize for flaking about showing up for those dates from LA to Seattle. Anyway thanks to these ridiculous "ear Square" royal "kidnapping" distress magnet/rf tag devices (thanks, "Jack" Spencers) the lovely arbitors in the USA have been running me since 2004. So I guess I know who I am again and I am tired of getting treated like crap by Uk musicians who said they would help out if this BS happened again. So be it U2, The Cure, Siouxsie, John Lyndon, The Smiths, Bauhaus ( who played in my living room in Park Ridge Illinois in the seventies, Jane's Addiction, Verve,Suede, Oasis asnd about 16 other bands I wrote songs for and currently Death Cab for Cutie who are now using my "Follow you into the dark" and I wil possess you heart or MGMT using my song "Electric Feel" I need somebody to look into this and I thought you may remember our phone conversations Pat, from way back when and maybe make a phone call for me.

This silence BS is just great...Oh Gavin is just a super fan who is delusional and thinks he wrote songs....yeah right...

Yes it is one of the biggest secrets in music that a 7 year old wrote songs and album concepts from Illinois for United Kingdom bands, but it is the truth.

I need some help with this current BS and I thought maybe somebody here knows the real story. So I guess if you knew me as Oliver Grant, or Gavin Murphy, or about 7 other alais names I wrote under I am getting fucked with and need a hand......
