Mailbag: Steve McQueen answers your burning questions

Q. I’m a bit disappointed to see gigwise licking The bandits arse every week, there a plenty of other bands from the north west that have a lot of talent, what the **** are you guys doing?

JASON McKenzie
Liverpool

A. The bandits arses are very hairy, we try to alternate now again, so we don’t have our throats clogged with arse hairs. It is true, we do give them a lot of exposure, but they deserve it. There are plenty of other bands we like, but as every mag will tell you – we have our exceptions.

Q. Who the **** are Flamingo 50?

JANET Baron
London

A. A very good band. Check out their profile and gig dates on the gigwise supported tour, they’re like a mini riot grrrl movement in one neat package, if you like that sort of thing.

Q. I haven’ t seen any stuff written on The Warlocks for a while, they’re a ****ing good band, and if you lot turn your noses up at them, I’ll never go on this site again!!

MICK Guttmann
Aberdeen

A. We have definitely not turned our backs on The Warlocks!! They’re a gigwise favourite, and they’re coming back to the U.K in October prior to their release of Baby Blue from the ‘Phoenix’ album. Expects more tales of drugs, debauchery, good music and full on DRONE rock very soon!!

Q. I don’t know how to use this site! Where’s my G-string gone?

KAREN Lyons
New York

A. I don’t know where your G-string has gone. Check behind the bathroom where the bleach is, and the modern term for G-string is ‘thong’ – so you must be living in the early 90’s when no one had the internet, hence the fact you can’t this site.
