The Next Phase


Last weekend saw us perform at the Boileroom, Guildford along with Ozzy band The Hungry Kids of Hungary. We were given free noodles and beer from the venue. Our first rider!!!! Also our first 'decent' green room. It had a sofa and a dodgy 1960s TV. We felt right at home. The Hungry Kids of Hungary were really nice guys. A few days after the gig they were scheduled to play The Great Escape Festival before heading on to play more dates for their tour.

I set up a meeting with a potential manager called Ville Leppanan from a company Tower Bridge based company called The Animal Farm. The meeting went really. From it we have drawn up a six month plan, which begins with us writing 20 brand-spanking, shiny new songs. We will be working with our friend and producer, Joe Reeves, to record the best three songs. Each song will be released at regular intervals during the course of 2011 while we tour around the country.

In the mean time we are still waiting for our album version of 54 to be mixed by Mike Senior. Joe is currently mixing the radio edit and we have locked ourselves away to write. It's been really nice to relax and just focus on being creative. This is what we've been desperate to do this whole time. We will be testing out some of our new material at the beginning of August and then again at the end.
