There once was an intolerable kid
I hated everything he did
But he played the guitar
Better by far
Than his friend 

who was only a squid

News 18th January 2008:

I've started playing with a drummer I met on Myspace. His name is Raul. Hopefully he won't freak out/get bored in two weeks/have a mental breakdown/decide to give up smoking pot and then never talk to anyone again/have a serious accident/become an alcoholic/be omitted into hospital/run away before we can do a few gigs and recordings together. We will be playing together under the name Thee Assassins. To listen to a recording of us playing together in rehearsal click here: We Can Be Friends. I've been writing so many songs recently it's stupid. We are still looking for someone to play organ/keyboards or maybe even a bass player! If you are interested get in touch: theeintolerablekidd - at - googlemail - dot - com. Also I've created a new Myspace page which archives Thee Assassins and features new and old songs not found on this site. Click here: Thee Assassins on Myspace
