Update 09/11/09

Hello,

Apologies for the delay between posts, since the last post we have done quite a bit but life has conspired to push this blog down the priorities list but we are back to ‘normal’ again now so..

…Gig News…

Thanks to all of those people who came to these gigs, cheered like loons, signed up to our mailing and/or said nice things to us after playing:

24/09/09 - Ryan’s Bar, Stoke Newington
A great night of dirty rock and roll and Bruce birthday hi-jinx. Thanks for squeezing in and getting sweaty in the dark. It was a wonderfully dirty basement gig, we bloody loved it!

09/10/09 - Famous 3 Kings, West Kensington
A strange gig in the back room of a sports bar, thanks to everyone who was there who created a great atmosphere in a venue which is not entirely conducive to live music.

24/10/09 – Hope and Anchor, Islington
A good gig in a good venue. We debuted one of our new ones The Family Blues which seemed to go down pretty well.

So those are the gigs up to date.. but the exciting news is that we have now confirmed 2 gigs to close out 2009…

Indie fun on a Thursday night? Yes please! 3 bands in a great venue, plus this place does some good Thai food yes, another Irish pub with a Thai kitchen.. it’s a real phenomenon isn’t it?

WhiteTrashParty Album Launch Party
The Good Ship
289 Kilburn High Road
London
NW6 7JR

This is a launch party gig for the excellent WhiteTrashParty (www.myspace.com/whitetrashparty) who are releasing their second album ‘Bleached of Childhood Dreams’. This should be a corking night of great bands in an excellent venue. We visited it recently and loved it.

…General News…

Quite a few people we have spoken to on our travels have been asking us about our plans for releasing any new material.. Quite simply, we want to release an EP in the New Year but what we record and put on it is constantly being discussed. We have a large number of new songs that are fighting for attention and we have some lo-fi home recording options that we are experimenting with. Needless to say, we want it to be the best it can be and will let you know what is happening as soon as we have things confirmed.

Cheers
