It’s getting towards that time of year, so we’ve compiled The Very Things Hallowe’en Playlist for you, with some of our unnerving but jolly videos...

We're very excited about bringing our set to London's The Lexington. It might look like this:

HAL JOINS FROM 2001 to introduce our single ‘Driver’ on the latest @PMMusicCafe “We are all, by any practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of error.” Beautiful and prescient. Thanks to Freddie & Charlie, broadcasting to the Universe.

Forty years ago we’d just been shooting this video, at a nightclub in Handsworth, Brum, ready for the ‘This Is Motortown’ single release.
The full video is here:

AND RIGHT ABOUT NOW ‘I Said Yeah’ is rumbling out from the latest @PMMusicCafe with the brilliant Freddie & Charlie. Along with the Clangers ‘on their cloudy planet, warmed by the sun…’ Thanks lads.

LIKE A BOAT OUT OF HULL! We played Hull Adelphi Club in De Grey Street on Wednesday, 29th October 1986 just prior to ‘This Is Motortown’ being released. Were you there? Rob remembers fish & chips from an Art Deco chip shop…
Another top archive find by @The_Shend
...and a mere forty years later, Freddie & Charlie are blasting out 'Hop On Pop' on the latest wonderful @PMMusicCafe
Thank you lads!

IT’S THE HEAVY-DUTY RIFF OF ‘DRIVER’ says Freddie. Unbelievably, two years since this tune swaggered onto YouTube. The full video is linked below. Thanks to the lads for giving it an airing on the latest @PMMusicCafe

Well, the ‘Mr-Arc-Eye…’ CD has been flying out, but a couple of people have said it’s not easy to find on Bandcamp. The link is below. When you get there just scroll down the page past the digital and the vinyl editions and… there's the CD.

And bloody marvellous to hear ’76 Trombone Street’ from the album (along with some splendid comedy trombone) on the latest @PMMusicCafe Thanks lads.
