TheBed had a show booked at Dublin Castle for 9th June 2005, but things were going terribly for the band & my stubbornness in refusing to use distortion from the new material was losing us a lot of fans. Rachel lived round the corner from me, and she'd filled in on bass when Chris had gone AWOL (dropped a TV on his head & lost his memory) a few months before. Feeling utterly desolate, I went to see Jet Tea, and his mum was kind enough to suggest I take some time out in a little cottage she had in Cornwall or Wales or somewhere I can't recall at any rate, proper in the middle of nowhere. I took a little dictaphone and wrote almost the entire first England & The April album out there. I came back & demo'd a few tracks with Jae, previously of Moon Day Speaks, and we played the Dublin Castle show a few days later with Rachel on Bass & Jae playing drums.
