Class of '09
Some pictures from our weekend in the studio to come but first look at this nice little feature that we just found...

Choice cut: "With bands like this you're hoping the developmental stage will take them higher and further, but with this slow burning grandiosity they sound pretty much there already."

Concur Christmas
We’re currently writing and recording our debut album so we’ll be off the radar for the next few weeks.
However we’ll be back in January supporting the wonderful God Is An Astronaut on their UK tour. For details visit our gigs page.
We've had an ace 2008. Thanks to everyone that's helped us out this year.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

End of '08
We played what should be our last gig of the year in London last week at the Buffalo Bar. Big thanks to the lads from The French Quarter who lent us gear and made us new friends.
Now work begins on writing the album so many a long night in our new cold, dark practice room.
More to come...

So then...
...well, we've been bloody busy.
Our new single "Oblige" came out on Monday 6th October and, both before and after its release, we've been touring like crazy.
We played a handful of gigs in London (Bush Hall) and Sheffield (Academy) with the gorgeous Nat Johnson. Bush Hall is a particulary special venue with huge chandeliers and pristine white walls. Good gigs. Loads of pizza.
The single launch at the Brudenell was top fun the weekend after. AnteAter, Dino Pile-up and Nappy 3 did us proud and I think we probably played as well as we ever have done (at that point anyway).
Then it was down to Nottingham for an ace festival called the Hockley Hustle. Great crowd in Notts and we had top fun, especially nice hanging out with Rich and Elly Glissando as well as Dom and Jordan DiS.
In the days after the single launch we got played by Steve Lamacq on 6 Music and on our way down back from our gig in Newcastle we even heard ourselves on Huw Stephens Radio 1 show. Special times.
After a short trip to Sowerby Bridge ("student rock!") we headed to Reading with Vessels and probably played the gig of our lives. Vessels were ace too (check out the pics posted here and more here - www.flickr.com/photos/adamreading).
The following week we played at the Dry Bar in Manchester and had an ace full-house gig at the Adelphi, Hull, with the lovely boys and girls of The Notebook (and Mikey Exploded!). Top night.
Finally we finished off with the Brainwash Festival last weekend (gig 61). It was a pleasure playing iForward, Russia!'s (possibly) last ever gig. They'll be missed.
Then on Sunday Tim and Jim did an acoustic session on Raw Talent to finish off a hectic October for us. You can listen again to Decimal Places (acoustic) and "Oblige" here - www.bbc.co.uk/rawtalent (do it quick as it's only up for a week).
Ta ra for now. Will try not to leave it so long next time. x
