Issue 4: Are you haaaaanging up your stocking on the waaaaaaall

HI FRIENDS! It’s us, Fightmilk.

It’s almost Christmas! You can smell the mince pies in the air and practically taste the pine needles picked out of the hoover bag. We’ve got an absolute monster of an update for you so strap in, santa.

NEW SINGLE! We Only Kiss At Christmas

Lily hit up our very good friend Sox from Tugboat Captain to write and record this stunningly sad Christmas banger down at Ctrl P Studios.

It’s about not quite feeling how you’re meant to at Christmas. Going through the motions as you sink a Christmas Eve pint. Suddenly being reminded by all the mistletoe and warm fuzzies that something used to be there.

FESTIVE FUN!

Both Types of Hayfever re-release

Way back in 2018, when our bassist was still a 6 foot tall man called Adam, four fresh-faced babies released their first two EPs onto a limited run of, what, 50 CDs? And added two bonus tracks too! Value for money!

It quite rightly didn’t even make so much as a ripple on the mucky puddle of DIY. However, since then we’ve bizarrely started seeing requests that we put it online, so here you go! The first two EPs we ever did plus two extra bangers, finally ready for your streaming pleasure.

Dog tees are back, they’re good again baby, [dog noise]

We’ve just re-upped our stock of dog tees! If the good boy in the mirror is you, or someone you know, we’ll be posting EVERYTHING for Christmas by 16 December. There really is nothing like seeing the joy on a child’s face as they unwrap a Fightmilk t-shirt on Christmas day. Order yours now.

December and January gigs

Our last gig of the year is 16 December at the Ivy House, supporting our lovely friends in flinch. Dogviolet are playing too. It’s going to be magical.

SO GET A TICKET! THEY’RE £10!

If you find yourself getting really bored during the festive perineum, you can join Lily and Healey for some queer country fun for The Dumb Blondes’ gig on the 29th December at the Lexington. Get a ticket here.

Then we’re very excited to be kicking the year off headlining the Winter Sprinter at the Lexington on Friday 23rd January! We’ll be supported by Cheerbleederz and The New Starts. Tickets for the full four-day shebang are sold out but you can still come see us on the Friday! Concessions are open to anyone unable to afford a full price ticket, no questions asked.

We did some recording

We joined Rich Mandell to record some new things recently. But more on that in the next newsletter…

Thanks so much to everyone who continues to listen to our daft songs, who wears things with our band name on it, who comes to our shows, and generally keeps us going. Have a lovely gentle festivus ❤️
