Spotify and Gigs

First up, we're very excited to announce that our debut album, Scarecrow, is (finally!) available on Spotify. So, any of you who haven't bought it yet (shame on you...) can now go and listen for free, and we still get paid for it. Win-win situation!

After a quiet few months, our gigging schedule is heating up too - we're very excited about next week, which brings us to headline Vic Cracknell's night at Propaganda, Fleet on Wednesday 6th April. Free entry, with 2-for-1 pizzas, and support from Morrison, Dan Grinter and Jonathan Thompson, it promises to be a great night. There's some more information at facebook - sign up for the event so we know if you're coming!

We're also back in London soon, at the renowned Bedford in Balham, on Wednesday 20th April. This is a great venue, with a lovely live room out the back, including a balcony, so you can throw stuff at us if we're really bad... There's always a great line-up there, so it's well worth the trip down, and again is free entry.

Think that's it - remember to check back for details of more gigs, we've got a busy summer coming up, so hope to see lots of you!

March Update, Local Gigs

Hello!

We thought it time for a little update – seeing as it’s been a while since we last spoke.

The last time we put a post out I think we were just about to play the support to Idlewild frontman Roddy Woomble in Reading. Well, you’ll be pleased to know that went off without a hitch! It was a great night – a really nice crowd, good music and the headline act were excellent company. We’re hopeful of a few more of those support gigs this year.

We have a few live dates coming up in the next month or so to tell you about – and it would be great to see some of you there for them.

This Thursday (10th March) we are playing what is probably now our annual (or at least 6 monthly) show at The Cellar Bar, South Hill Park in Bracknell.
Very much a hometown show... well for some of us anyway. This one is actually a full Artree Music showcase, as it features our little acoustic stable of Phoebe Wright and Scattered Few on the bill. Should be a really nice event – with tickets £5 on the door. It kicks off at 8pm.

On 6th April we travel the relatively short distance to Fleet for a feature set at the newish Propaganda Presents night, funnily enough at The Propaganda Music Canteen. This is one of the great Vic Cracknell’s events – which we always love playing and are well worth attending because the standard is always stupidly high. It is also free entry – so no excuses!

The album is slowly but surely coming together. We don’t have any further news with regards to release but we’re very pleased with how it is sounding. This is a big release for us so we’re making sure we use all the time we can getting it absolutely bang on. I’m sure there will be a few dates set in stone soon. We will obviously keep you posted.

Anyway – thanks all for the continued support, and it’ll be great to see a few of you in Bracknell and Fleet in the coming weeks.

Cheers
