FACT #1: The Grates have a new song out called Turn Me On.
FACT #2: The Grates have a brand new clip for the song. Coincidentally, it's also called Turn Me On.
FACT #3: Patience Hodgson looks babeingly babesome in the clip for Turn Me On and will, more than likely, turn you on.
FACT #4: I make no secret of the fact that I have the world's biggest super girl crush on Patience. I ask though, can you blame me?
FACT #5: The first time I ever saw Patience was at Homebake when Ben Lee brought her out on stage to sing a duet and, in introducing her, said The Grates were going to be huge. He made a very good point.
FACT #6: The Grates are playing Oxford Arts Factory on June 24. I'm going. If you're going and you see someone dancing like they just caught the crazy then ... well actually that would be Patience, but if you see someone else dancing like they caught the crazy then that would be me. Say hi won't you?
FACT #7: One of the most hilariously fun gigs at which I ever had the pleasure of melting was the Annandale Christmas Party that had, amongst many others, Bluejuice and The Grates on the line-up. Some douchbag of the highest order - let's call him Senior Lord Douchebaggery Gropinghands - seemed to think he was in with a fair chance with me because I was giving off all the right signals such as standing, breathing and standing. I tried, and tried and tried, to explain to his royal asshattedness that EVERYONE was crushed together and I was, indeed, NOT leaning against him because I wanted to haz his mad babiez, but as The Grates finished and Patience crowd surfed her way to the back of the room, Senior Lord asked me if I wanted to go back to his house because "it's like right next door". After I politely declined six or seven times he finally swayed around a bit and said "alright ... well I'm going to go have a crack at Patience then. She's hot." Excellent.
