We're playing End Of The Road.

Huzzah!

Underground Festival.

So we just played at the Underground Festival, it was awesome! We saw loads of amazing bands like Grammatics, The Sugars, Johnny Foreigner, Pencil Toes, Wave Machines, Bayonets, IWACS, iForward Russia! and Kites (awesome band who Sam and Reuben play with). It was great seeing our friends on stage playing some fantastic music. Our set went really really well and it was lovely playing to our friends and family in Hereford again.

A brief summary of the last few days.

Alright everyone.
We played up in Manchester the other night. It was ace, matthew the promoter was exceptionally lovely and has asked us back for our august tour and he treated us in a most caring manner.

Here's what we've been listening to the last few days.

Death Cab For Cutie- Narrow Stairs
The Books- Lost and Safe
Cat Power- You Are Free (A Geena favourite)
Beirut- Gulag Orkestar
Hot Hot Heat- Make Up The Breakdown

and we listened to a kick ass mix I made for Geena.


We've also got a few more dates booked for August which is ace. I'll post who they're with once we've got more dates sorted. See you all soon.

News.

Right then.
We recorded down in Bristol with local metalhead and leader of drum n bass duo Jonquil. It went really well. We recorded it all in his and his housemates bedroom. We have clapping, double bass, accordian, cello, violin, guitar, vocals, SHAKERS!, glock and organ on the new recordings. Hopefully you'll be able to hear it all and it will make you smile. We're looking to relase these songs as a 7" because I'm a music nerd and love 7"'s. LOL.
Anyway I posted this blog on our myspace about it. I'm just gonna copy and paste it cos I'm lazy.

hello everyone.
We've just done some recording down in Bristol with Hugo of doom/noise outfit Jonquil. The recordings sound v v sweet and we're looking for a label to put them out in (fingers crossed) a 7inch format. If you can help with this that would be amazing or if you know anyone that would potentially be interested send em our way and we'll see if we can work something out.

As for touring we gonna do about 10 days at the start of august and then maybe some more in september to coincide hopefully with a new record! and we might do some recording late in the summer with Jeremy Warmsley but that's a long way off being sorted at the moment. So if any promoters are reading this and wanna put us on around that time get in touch and we'll sort details out. We're monstrous live. Scary masks, head banging, profanities, nakedness. It's all there.

Think that's it.
Bye!

In other news, Reuben passed his grade 8 with a merit (congratulations!), Geena is gonna take her grade 8 (she's already good enough to play it all, she just needs the piece of paper saying she can), Sam is continuing to buy lots of clothes, they're all revising for their as levels, I'm gonna have a job soon and I listen to too much Death Cab For Cutie.

Bye bye!

RECORDING POSTPONED

This sucks quite a bit obviously as we'd been practicing incessantly in an effort to get up to scratch but not to worry. Hopefully we'll do something soonish with Hugo down in Oxford. This also means that Sam is now ready to play live on 3 songs. The dates we do through March are to break him in so anybody that wants to come and heckle Sam and see if you can put him off, feel free. We'll be playing new stuff and be the tightest and best we've ever been. Dates are below in another post somewhere. VVVVVVVVVVV

Meet Me In St. Louis have split up.

This makes me sad. I loved Variations On Swing and their EP.

Check out this video. It's immense.

February & March Shows.

Hello

We're gonna be playing some shows in February & March mainly to break our new violinist into playing live but also because we're playing with some utterly fantastic bands.

The dates are:

February 24th- Hereford @ The Jailhouse w/ Grammatics & Pencil Toes
8th March- London @ Notting Hill Arts Club w/John and Jehn
10th March- Leeds @ Brudenell Social Club w/Casiotone For The Painfully Alone & Held By Hands
20th March- Hereford @ Watercress Harry's w/Brandon Steep
23rd March- Oxford @ TBC w/Jonquil & House of Brothers
26th March- Ashford @ Downtown Diner w/ Jonquil

I think that's it. We're recording very soon. Just getting ready for that at the moment and we're looking at what we're gonna release next, who with and in which format. It's all very exciting.

Also, it's my brothers birthday on the 24th Feb, the Grammatics gig. He's 11 and totally awesome.



He's on the end sat next to me.
