Colour in Bournemouth?

We're landing in Bournemouth Town Sqaure on Sunday 17th of August. Hopefully we'll be slap bang in the middle. Which would be nice.

Have a look where we are, isn't it such a big canvas, it'd be a shame not to colour it in don't you think?

Anyone up for doing a giant chalk drawing?

Cliff models for Drunk Cow

We're very grateful to Cliff for modeling our Ltd edition t-shirts and to Drunk Cow for printing them. They'll be £20 squid each & there's only a ltd number being printed, so be quick to snaffle

Drunk Cow are an international collective who play, do, love & dance. Kansas, London, Tokyo Style. Big bus love to the Drunk Cow.

Hello Brighton

The Pleasure Bus Tour will be on The West Pier on Friday 15th & Saturday 16th August.

Bring your pens, friends, and a sunny smile.

If you want to busk, beatbox or know a brass band that would like to play then that would be wonderful too.

Look forward to it.

Gold...

Thankyou to Cathy O, who sent us this video of her hero Claude Francois. It's gold, just like our van. And it's brilliant.

Pleasure Bus Big Chill

The Pleasure Bus is off to the Big Chill. Compulsory Fancy dress obviously. Or anything gold & shiny. Just looked at the line-up. Amazing as usual. Natty, Yam Yam, Derrick Carter, Scruff, lots of disco, the Boosh, Krush, TY, Jay, Roisin Murphy the list goes on. Looking forward to it. Lots.

I might go as the one on the right,
or Scooby Do.

Bus Love...

Big Bus love to my Aunty Helen for sending me this postcard. Isn't it brilliant? Just remember when you see our Pleasure Bus that it came from a similar era (well 1981) and it is now 2008. Still love it though.

Supermundane joins the Tour...

This is gold, solid gold. We're very proud to announce that star illustrator Supermundane will be exhibiting in the Pleasure Bus mobile art gallery. We've been fan's of his style for some time. His work beams fun, positivity and optimism, perfect for the Pleasure Bus Tour.
Not only will you be able to get you hands on FREE copies of Anorak magazine, which Supermundane creates with our Special chum Cathy O, but we'll have a limited number of Supermundane T-shirt's to purchase (see above). Big!
