Argh. August is OVER!

We're sitting here, writing caps on, but have just been thinking back over the last couple of months' gigs. Great stuff, and gets our feets itching to get back on stage with some new material! We have to be patient, and complete all this new stuff we're working on so we can come back live with a 'POW' - we want to do everything at once, but we'll be able to once these recordings are done. There's very exciting stuff to anounce about the recording soon (there's a lot going on behind the closed curtains!), but in the meantime we'll keep writing, editing, and generally making mischief in any way we can.

Still, the summer has been good - from getting people on passing busses to dance at the Lavender Hill Festival (and watching people gloriously sunbathe on the far side of the street from our vantage point on the stage) to wading through rain at an experimental electro-3-piece set at the Hackney Wicked Festival (that was an amazing sound system!), to being dragged through fields by puppies 10 minutes before we're meant to be in a wedding (wearing spangly shoes, and white suits)... It's been fun!

But to work. We must go and complete our missions. Check out the latest tracks on our media page - we've only just added some new music - the latest - be there ;). Some are totally new, some are reworkings of some of our favourite older tracks. Do tell us what you think!

EDIT: - Managed to get a player to embed here. Love Technology :)

Lavender Hill Festival

And what a lovely way to start the Summer!

An absolutely beautiful day in South West London, thousands of people milling around down Lavender Hill, amazing food stalls, Steel Bands, and us. Actually, the plan originally was to close Lavender Hill completely, but even when they kept it open, people just milled out into the road in front of the stage, and claimed large parts of it for themselves.

So there we were, on a stage in front of a beautiful (abandoned) bar, covered in gorgeous sunshine, playing to a stack of people, some up close and personal, some chilling on the far side of the road, lying out on the street to soak up the rays. The response for all the bands was amazing, from dancing children (that was a real eye-opener) to people on the top decks of passing buses getting involved.

It was quite a day :). A BIG shout out to all the guys from Drumshack & Ocean Studios who were there doing technical things all day, and gave us a chance to play at an amazing gig. Lots of charity money raised too for the Trinity Hospice.

In the meantime, we're back to the grindstone, and looking forward to the next gig - the Childwickbury Arts Show, St. Albans on July the 5th. Come!

We're back!

A New Year, and we're back at the grindstone :). Many apologies for the lack of updates - cross between dead computers, being away, and actually getting some work done; which is of course what we're meant to be doing.

So what are we doing? Mostly writing, recording and Twittering actually. We've written and sketched up (in a half-audio-kinda-complete-kinda-way) four of five new songs in the last month or so, and more on their way soon. They have strange names like 'World in a Bag', 'Killing Beats' & 'Screams' - not that there's a link between them. We've also got some interesting meetings coming up, larger recording sessions to arrange, and general bits & bobs to be getting on with :).

So we're not gigging for a little while. We're looking for the right place to book that first one of the year, though there may be a little surprise one to check out some of the material we're working on. We're also waiting on the masters from our Roundhouse session, and trying to dig out the photos as well.

In the meantime, enjoy some Celebrity Meat we found in Anneliese's local shop...


We gave it to Geiger for his Birthday. Along with some Branston Pickle :).
