End of Year Round-Up

As we're approaching the end of 2013 (where did the year go?!), we thought we better get another blog post out - no blog posts since before the single launch; we know! Rubbish.

BUT at least it's because we have been busy with lots of gigs and recording. Not just because we can't be bothered ;-)

We have been seriously busy since the epic single launch. And for those of you who missed out or those who simply want to re-live the night, here is a link to a review from The Musix Fix.

 

 

Cheers for everyone who made it a success!

 

Since then we have had a string of gigs and have been enjoying sharing lots of nights with top bands in some quality venues.

 

Recent highlights for us were playing in an absolute gem of a new venue, 'The Eagle Inn' in Salford with The Clocktower. These guys are from Wolverhampton, but don't let the accent put you off :P They were proper tight and we really enjoyed their set. Check them out if you get the chance, and make sure you get down to The Eagle Inn, you won't be disappointed.

 

We also just played a gig where Adam's heroes Carl Barat and Gary Powell were DJ'ing Unfortunately they didn't turn up 'til after our set, so we refrained from pulling out our Libertine's cover, but he still got to have a little word with them so he was a happy chap.

 

As well as gigging we've also spent some time in the studio. With the likes of Arctic Monkeys, Jake Bugg, The La's and The Black Keys all recording there, we were pleased when the studio contacted us having heard some of our demos to say that they think they could really make the most of our tracks. So off we went to the  Liverpool Motor Museum studio to record one of our new songs. And they have really done it justice! We'll be back there in the new year to record some more and will be working closely with them on our new EP!

 

We have one more date in the diary before the year is out, and that is The Nankeens Christmas party which we're having in week or so. All the usual suspects will be there with their Christmas jumpers, beer and entertainment provided by yours truly (and probably our ipods). 

 

We're looking forward to Christmas, but even more so for 2014. We've already got a string of dates booked in some class venues for our own night ' The Playlist,' after the success we had on the night this year, so keep your eyes out for dates and info in the new year.

 

See you on the other side!
