THE END: Four days to go...
Dunno if you already saw it, but another ridiculously generous review of SOUVARIS SOUVARIS SOUVARIS, courtesy of Mr Tommy Dski, is at Pocket Jury: http://pocketjury.net/albums2011/. Thanks Tommy, the cheque's in the post!
Also check out the wholly accurate words about Kogumaza; an amazing band that we just so happen to be looking forward to sharing a stage with on Friday at The End Of This Band: http://www.nottinghamcontemporary.org/event/souvaris#content
Obligatory Facebook event here: http://www.facebook.com/events/294835213891238/
We've also done a final interview with Pawl Kalashnikov which should appear in next month's Left Lion. Think of it as a final eulogy. We can't promise that it will be any more enlightening than Dick Venom's...
Oh, and if you think this is all we've done recently you're wrong. We just got back from playing our principle Roadie Thing One's wedding, helped out by special guests Eleanor Lee and Christopher Baldwin. Spot the ex-Souvarian on Kerry King-besting guitar solo duties:

THE END: One week to go
Bloody hell. In 8 days' time this band will not exist. It's hard to process.
We heard that some people were getting charged a fiver a ticket when they bought in advance from certain outlets. This has now rectified... if you did get charged a fiver, let us know and we'll ensure you're refunded your pound at the door on Friday.
We've been in touch with various friends and families as we make plans to HAVE A GODDAMNED PARTY on Friday night. It's going to be messy and we look forward to joining you at the heart of it. Personally, I can't wait to see Kogumaza busting out some new material and Gareth Hardwick playing something so new and secret that he can't tell me any details about it! Oh, and seeing YOU there.
See you in a few days.

AN ANNOUNCEMENT: The end is nigh. No, really.
Greetings,
As the final hours of 2011 trickle by and the (Gregorian calendar-reading) world's attention turns to 20 and the 12, so the members of Souvaris also turn our attentions to new things. We're sorry to say that from Saturday 18th February 2012, this band will cease to exist.
We're extremely proud of what we have achieved with SOUVARIS - SOUVARIS SOUVARIS. It's the culmination of over 2 years of work (including a few self-inflicted delays, admittedly) and quite honestly we don't know where to go from here. Our lives are now in such different places to where we began and our energies are diverted into other avenues to the point where it is difficult to get us all in one place, let alone in a position to make more music. So we've decided to stop.
Now into its twelfth year, we never for a moment imagined that this band would come to dominate more than a decade of our lives, playing hundreds (just about) of shows around the UK and Europe, sharing stages with some of our favourite bands and meeting too many of the loveliest people imaginable who we are now proud to call friends. Looking back across the years stretching back to the late months of 2000, we have innumerable fond memories to look back on and share as stories whenever we see each other.
)
This goes back to include our two former (and founder) members Mike Beevor and David Moult, both of whom are both still dear friends and brothers in arms. The seven of us actually managed to get ourselves into the same room for the first time in memory - twice in the space of a fortnight! - to celebrate the marriages of David S and Simmo in the summer of 2011. Look! Here's a picture, taken by our esteemed friend Romain Didier of Crëvecoeur and Jean-Elliot Senior:
So what do we do now? Well, first we have to persuade you to buy SOUVARIS - SOUVARIS SOUVARIS so that Matt Gringo makes back some of the cash he spunked on getting it pressed. All our relatives got predictably red CD-shaped presents this year. Why didn't yours? BUY BUY BUY. It's our legacy. Our swansong. One last bow. Etc. You get the picture.
The second thing we decided to do was to at least do one last hurrah; or rather ONE LAST GIG before we call time on things. We're still planning various things to put a special evening together for anyone who decides to come, but you can rest assured that it probably won't be like the KLF. Full details will be forthcoming, but we have booked THE SPACE at Nottingham Contemporary for Friday 17th February as the air-infused vacuum in which we will perform our final show. So put the date in your diary, or just add this Facebook event to it: http://www.facebook.com/events/294835213891238/. There'll be more soon.
Lovingly,
SVRS

SOUVARIS IS: TEN
Woot woot and word up.
In exactly one week's time we will have finished blowing sound down your earholes at the distinctly impressive Nottingham Contemporary - look, there's even a proper webpage and poster and everything here: http://www.nottinghamcontemporary.org/event/music-exchange-present-souvaris.
Then you might have noticed that we're heading off for our holidays in late October, stopping off in Belgium, France, Germany and Switzerland for some quality shows (and Luxembourg for some cheap petrol, no doubt). But what are we going to do inbetween?
Oh yeah, it's only our MOTHERFLIPPING TENTH BIRTHDAY.
Yeesh, we've been pissing away our spare time, money and hearing on this shit for a decade now. Just think what much more productive things we could have done in the meantime. So what are we going to do to celebrate? Well, throw a fucking cool party, of course! We've invited some pals to play, and, heck, we'll even make some noise ourselves (and probably a load of different songs to the Contemporary gig). Simmo and Helene have been fantastic enough actual humans to organise a swanky Saturday night out for you all:
That's Saturday 16th October, at Chameleon, Nottingham.SOUVARIS (Gringo, UK)
ED WOOD JR (Lille, FR)
FRESH EYES FOR THE DEAD GUY
...STOP EJECT
£5 / DOORS 8.30pm
Clique Clack is delighted to invite you to a warm-up show for Souvaris' upcoming European tour. In the spirit of international exchange, Ed Wood Jr from Lille, France will be representing the froggy side of the Entente Cordiale. Add a couple of local rock behemoths to the proceedings in the form of Fresh Eyes For The Dead Guy and Stop Eject, and you have yourselves quite in evening indeed! Mmmmmm.
Full details at http://www.facebook.com/?sk=events#!/event.php?eid=153931577958482
See you there! Bring cake. It's gonna get messy.

The live comeback: Thurs 30th Sept, Nottingham Contemporary
Alright, told you we were going to do something special for our first live show in 2010. Obligatory Friendface event page here (invite yourself!), or read the details below:
The Music Exchange Live and Prefab Kraut presents SOUVARIS
Date: Thursday 30th September
Time: 19:00 - 23:00 (band plays at 21:00ish)
Venue: Nottingham Contemporary Cafe
Price: FREE (Record and CD donations gratefully received)
"Having not played in this city since the launch of their split album w/Sincabeza - "Clown Jazz" (Gringo Records), we're all looking forward to this show. http://www.myspace.com/souvaris
Exchange DJs Joey Bell and AntrØnhY 7pm onwards."
That's right, we've got the whole night to ourselves and we'll be the only band playing. So see you at the bar! God knows what we're going to play or how long we're going to play for, but if we play every song we've ever written we'll be on for at least 3 and a half hours. So we won't be doing that. Any requests (including joke cover versions)?
European tour and random mixtapes details coming soon.
