Outdoor Gigs and Sinking Ships...........

Just though we would stick a quick blog up about our last weeks worth of antics and also to let you know a few of our plans for the future.

It's been a busy month for us so far and this last week was no different. After a session in The Mill rehearsing on Tuesday we packed the van up and shot over to Stockport for a mid week gig on Thursday at The Bakers Vault. 

The venue had a really good vibe and was nice and busy, it was full of people just out to watch live music rather than a specific band or artist. We went down a treat and our CDs disappeared in seconds and had lots of people asking for more which was nice. Thanks to everyone who watched us and thanks to John from Leaf Promotions for inviting us down to play.

Next on the agenda was a nice day time gig on an outdoor stage at Barca in Castlefield. The sun was out and the place was packed. Before we took to the stage we got treated to a show from a passing boat which had decided it didn't want to float anymore and managed to attract a nice little audience.



Anyway the fire brigade turned up and rescued them just in time for us to take to the stage and grab everyone's attention back.

As you can see The Nankeens were enjoyed by young and old :)


The feel of this gig was totally different to playing indoors and everything felt a lot more chilled out and easy going and we just had fun playing and hopefully people could see that in our performance.

So after a busy month in July it's looking like August is going to be a bit slower, with a lot of trips to the studio to get our next single (Scenester) ready for release.

We will book in the odd gig to keep us busy so keep an eye out for them, but our next big gig is going to be our single launch.

SINGLE LAUNCH
So as we said before our next single is going to be called "Scenester" and we're really looking forward to launching it. We have teamed up with Scruff Of The Neck Records again for this release and are pleased to announce that we will be launching it on the 21st September at The Deaf Institute in Manchester, full event details are on the link below.


Just to finish we want to say cheers for everyone who has helped out and also everyone who has watched us recently and one last thing........Please give our facebook page a "LIKE" and also ask your friends to do the same.


Cheers - The Nankeens : )
