Our EP.....Johnny Marr, The Joy Formidable, Foals.....

Thought we'd take a breather from a hectic couple of weeks to let you know what we've been up to. 

Firstly let's just take a minute to recognise what a top week for gigs it was last week. We managed to get to 4 of them, all in Manchester. It really is the place to get out and see music from emerging artists - as well as those that aren't doing too bad for themselves!

In a nutshell here's how the week went:

Monday:

Johnny Marr - secret gig at Night and Day Cafe. Totally unplanned and unexpected but we were in the right place at the right time and had the pleasure of being one of the lucky few that got to hear some of his recent work.

Here's our mate Trewy looking rather pleased with himself at meeting the Johnny. SAY CHEESE!

After we watched Johnny, we mooched over to the Castle Hotel to watch a band called Girls Names. They filled the intimate venue, and are definitely a band to look out for if you ask us. Sorry no pics of this, we were a little worse for wear by then.

Thursday:

The Joy Formidable - The Ritz

The clue is in the name. They were formidable (was gonna say they are a joy to watch, but it sounds a bit wet doesn't it!) They were epic, totally owned the stage. Ritzy Bryan is cool as fuck. 

Saturday:

Foals - Manchester Academy

Well. It was like one big rave! Even the most dismal of dancers would not have resisted moving their feet at this gig. They put on a right good show - no wonder the touts were asking £80 for tickets outside, don't think anyone was disappointed.

So anyways. On top of taking in some musical genius, we were also busy sorting the EP tracks out and finalising the video for the EP single 'I'm Not Playing'. You can now watch our home-made video on youtube here: 

Highly recommend you watch this if only to check out Mark flying. We promised you he'd fly, and he does. We've had some great feedback on it so far, but we'd really appreciate it if you could share it with your friends and ask them to do the same.

So finally then just a quick reminder that our EP launch is going to be at Night and Day cafe, Manchester on 16th March. It's £3 on the door and everyone gets a FREE copy of the EP.

We'll be releasing a link for anyone else to download the EP tracks for free online after the launch so keep your eye out.
