THE DEAD LOOSES A BROTHER
It is always hard to write this kind of thing and get it right. Most bands write it in a fashion that sounds like a positive attitude and try to remind their fans that all is good n all that shit.
We aint gonna do that kind of crap caus its just bollocks.
Our fatboy Tim has decided to call kicking his drums ass a day in LTD. It was a tough day for all of us and made us think of all the fucking kick ass times we have had together and these will not be forgotten. I (Will) remembers a day when i told Hinge that we aint never having him in the band! he's rubbish!!! What a fool i was. Once Fatty joined the band he instantly became a close part of our family and having him in the band was probably the best decision we have ever made.
We may not have nearly got arrested in Germany if it wasnt for him!! HAHAHA.
I could carry on for hours on about all the moments and countless good times we have had with him being part of the LTD fold but we have to draw that to a close.
We loose a brother this week and we all wish his fat ass all the best in the world. I dont know if anyone else will take to being spat on in the same light!!
For all of those who came to enjoy LTD's music from Tims drumming, please follow him with his band, Hudson.
Right, now i have given him a farewell fuck off, we shall be starting the bullshit task of finding someone to sit behind the drums for us and become part of our piss taking hard rockin group of idiots!!!! We hope it doesnt take long as we have an album to finish writing!!!!
Thats enough from a vodka fueled idiot!! Please leave some piss taking comments for us to throw at Tim.
As soon as we know anything about new blood in the band you guys shall know also!!!
From all in LTD, FUCK OFF AND LISTEN TO HEAVY METAL!
WINDMILLS AND BEER AND STUFF
As you can see from the left hand side we are fucking off to the Netherlands for a few dates with our bestest bitches in the world Soma!!!!
Its gonna be cool and if anyone can make it. Will be cool too see you guys there.

NEW MATERIAL ON THE GO
We have a few updates to tell!! Firstly we are writing tunes for our second album, yeah its taking some time as it usually does take
us a bit to get em right. We hope to release the next album early next year.
Secondly, Our lead guitarist Paul "butthinge" Priestley is gonna be a daddy!! Yes thats right, the butthinge scored a goal!
The little un is due later this year and we hope you all wish him and his girlfriend all the best as we are all well chuffed for him.
LTD BACK TO LIFE
Right, finally we can say that we are back in business, and business is good! After a long haul of over 3 months of a minor
setback with some medical problems in the band we are back and ready to kick some serious fucking ass!!! To start with we had some
great news last week that Tim has been endorsed by only the biggest drum manufacturing company in the world, Mapex Drums!! This is
seriously good shit and Tim will appear in next years worldwide Catalogue and will be on the Mapex website. He has just ordered his new
drumkit and will be showing it off very soon.
Next up is that on Monday 24th October we are doing our first gig in the last god knows how long at the Rigger in Newcastle. Also on the bill are Conquest of Steel
and A view from a throne. We are really anxious to get back into playing again and we all hope that you can join us and enjoy the night as much as we are going to.
Thanks for being patient! LTD.
UPDATES N STUFF
Apologees for lack of updates. We have all been busy with personal crap over the last 2 months and now
its back to LTD time!!! As you can see on the left we have a few gigs coming up and more to come as we move
into the later stages of the year. We hope to be confirming a short tour of Scotland soon with fellow Thrashers, HEADPRESS.
We had a real good time last time up there so we are going back to kick some more ass!!
OUR TOUR HAS FINISHED!
Last week we went on a little adventure around the country for a few days and it was a great
success, We had a great couple of gigs. Plans for the next part of the 2005 tour are underway and
hopefully the dates will start to emerge soon.
Secondly, Our web server was hit with a massive mail bomb attack directed at our site and we started
to recieve around 300 bogus e mails a second and with no way of stopping it we have had to shut off the
e mail for a while. New E mail addresses will be put into the site so we can be contacted. Our appologies
for if anyone has been trying to get in touch!!
NEW WEBSITE ONLINE
Its finally here!!!! please bear with us as all the information is uploaded into the new site. There are a few blank pages knocking around
but they will be finished as soon as possible. Enjoy
