Gigs Round-up

Well, it’s been a busy few days but now we’re taking a much needed week or so away from band stuff before it gets stupidly busy (although we’ll obviously try and keep the blog updated of course!).

We started on Friday night in London at The Spice of Life in Soho, which was an excellent gig. We’ve played a lot of London venues, but have to say this one was probably our favourite so far, at least until we get to the Half Moon in Putney on May 21st! The sound was excellent, we played a good set, got some people interested in our music and enjoyed good conversation with Joe – the ‘music promoter’ who was more than a little worse for wear and wore a suit that was way too big for him…..you get them all in that town!

Sunday we finished recording! We’ve all now got copies of the unmixed album to listen to over the next few weeks and make notes on what needs looking at in the mixing stage – it’s all very exciting, and the songs really are sounding good, which obviously I would say, seeing as this is supposed to promote said fact – although they really are, especially the new one that we wrote in two hours before recording it.

Sundays gig in Reading was cancelled at short notice due to the venue being double booked. Not sure when we’ll get back there – but far too busy to worry about that currently!

Monday we played at Good Intentions, run by our good friends Anthea Neads and Ian Sadler. It was actually the best of all the gigs we did in this run, as the atmosphere was excellent, sound was great (apart from Ben’s bass feeding back as usual….) and we were really up for it. Loads more interest, a few EP’s sold – good work all round.

Yesterday we were in Guildford at Susie Clarke’s night at The Tup. Although most of the people in the place were more interested in the Champions League games being shown on the screen round the corner, the scattering of people up by the stage seemed to enjoy the set – so not all bad.

So there you go – not the most exciting of blog posts, but after our week off this coming week it’s all systems go with mixing and mastering, duplication and getting the album tour all sorted.

Hopefully – we’ll have details of the album and launch party very very soon – we think it’ll be worth the wait.
