Our beloved friend & bass player Steve Mackey passed away this morning. Our thoughts are with his family & loved ones. Safe travels, Steve.
We hope to catch up with you one day. All our love xx
Happy Birthday Jarvis !
19 September is always a momentous date in the Pulp calendar, for it denotes that another journey around the sun has been made by our dear leader. During the last tour, Jarvis began to say he was born to perform, he exists to do this.
What do you think?
That was fun. Havenโt listening to this record for a long time but relieved to discover itโs surprisingly good. Goodnight everyone & stay safe.
#timstwitterlisteningparty
Is this the light of a new age dawning? Letโs hope so. 2023 was amazing; we couldโve never imagined it would be like this. Now thereโs a whole new year ahead of us. Look forward to seeing you next summer - Letโs all meet up in the year 2024. Live on & look after each other. xxx

โNot only is this the last show of the tour โฆโ Itโs great for us to finally play at this historic venue, but weโre a little tearful that this is the last night of the tour. Letโs make it massive. x
Life could have been very different but then โsomething changedโ. The latest Pulp Digital EP to arrive on streaming services is โSomething Changed.โ The remastered video will soon appear on YouTube.
Raise your voices in celebration! Itโs an exceptional day for our dear Candida Doyle, who is celebrating a special birthday. Thereโs no better time for a Strathspey and a Shetland Reel. Go on Candida, Party Hard. Lang may yer lum reek!

Something Changed was an old song that Jarvis dredged up & we all dusted off. Thereโs a rehearsal tape of a previous incarnation of Pulp attempting it circa 1984.

Phew! It's taken us a week to recover from the amazing response to Pulp tickets going on sale. It's very nice to feel wanted. Now we're back & thinking of appointing a new social media team ... What do you reckon?

You want it all. You want it now. As we lie in the recovery position in a dark room we are being serenaded by the relaxing sounds of the "This is Hardcore" music box. Try it, you might like it. Now available to order from

We were recording Top of the Pops the day it all kicked off. Island Records brought in a specialist tabloid consultant (!) to advise Jarvis on how to respond & handle it all.
#timstwitterlisteningparty
So itโs inevitable we think about Glastonbury. Itโs all true that we were only asked about a week before if weโd be able to play. I think theyโd asked loads of people before they got around to us, but thankfully they did. (Rod Stewart comes to mind.)

Pulp's "Help the Aged" Digital EP is now available on streaming platforms, with the video soon on YouTube. Did you expect us to start drinking Port & Lemon all of a sudden?
You canโt buy Common Sense, but you can stream โCommon Peopleโ. & watch the explicit (!) remastered video at .
Can you still do the "Common People" dance ?
Is this the way they say the futureโs meant to feel? Pulpโs โMis-Shapes & Sorted for Eโs & Wizzโ digital EP is now sorted for streaming, with remastered videos coming to YouTube.
My old Casio keyboard from my teenage years is all over I-Spy and Sorted. (It was revived a few years later for Sliding Through Life on Charm).
#timstwitterlisteningparty
Before the show we want to make the audience feel that they are about to enter another dimension. Thomas Wilfredโs Clavilux projections do this beautifully. Vast other-worldly landscapes rise & fall before your eyes in a state of constant yet stately flux. A sublime experience.
Jayne Savidge's 33 1/3 book on Pulp's album "This is Hardcore" is out today & available from all good book stores (and some bad ones). Find out more at

We couldnโt find any accommodation nearby so our tour manager went out and bought tents and sleeping bags. We arrived the days before our show and spent two nights camping backstage. I still have my sleeping bag. This is Nickโs brother standing guard โฆ

Common People & Underwear were the first songs we did with Chris Thomas in Jan 95. Itโs always strange working with new people, but the legend is true that CP came together quickly once we played him Mr Blue Sky by ELO.

I was living in above a chip shop on Hornsey Road at this time. Sharing a flat with Chris & Simon from Menswear!!! Fortunately they were also busy, so we were rarely home at the same time. This is where I slept in the corner of my room.

conducted strings for a great version of I Spy on Later with Jools Holland. (We later asked her to play the lead piano on This Is Hardcore after Jarvis, Mark, Candida and Chris Thomas had all failed to make the grade.)
#timstwitterlisteningparty
This is a great song. An opening instrumental verse with Jarvis lead guitar part was edited out of the LP version but appeared on a b-side. A few years later we indulged ourselves in concert with a long disco outro tagged onto the end.
#timstwitterlisteningparty
Where to start with this one? The flute melody in the verses is my Casio keyboard again. We also used its crap insect sound & audience effects.
