Coming Up

We have been a little quiet on here recently which has mostly been down to being so busy with gigging, recording, rehearsing and basically getting things in line for the rest of the year!

As we mentioned in our last blog we have just finished recording our second EP at The Motor Museum Studios and we are now waiting for the tracks to be mastered so we can get the EP sent out. Fingers crossed we will find someone to release it for us and give it the exposure it deserves.

We have had a few great gigs since coming out of the studio. The first one being at one of our favourite venues - Night and Day Cafe, Manchester. It was a busy night and as usual the crowd made it for us. Cheers to everyone who came to check us out. We were pleased to get a couple of tidy reviews from the night - have a gander below:

One thing we wanted to mention while we're on the topic of Night and Day is this ridiculous situation with the noise complaints from the Neighbours. If you've not heard about it have a read here. It's still ongoing and it seems to be a bit of a worrying time for the venue. So basically we are just asking you to give your support to them and sign the petition. Because WE JUST DON'T GET IT! Why move into a residence in such close proximity to not only Night and Day, but to all of the other popular music venues and bars that have been happily trading in the area for years if it's just not your bag? Hopefully it will all be sorted soon and Night and Day can get back to what it does best - hosting live events that support up and coming artists.

We were also pleased that our mate, Jordan Allen invited us down to support him at his EP launch. This was (surprisingly) our first gig in Bolton and The Blind Tiger was a cool little venue that we would definitely love to play again. As we didn't have many regular faces with us, it was great for us to see a fair few people at the front singing our songs. The power of social media eh ;-) Anyway Jordan nailed it and we enjoyed the whole night. We get a good mention in the review of the night here.

At the risk of bombarding you with links - just wanted to point you to this very brief write-up that we had brought to our attention on the Epiphone site just the other day (here). As we all play Epiphones we are proper chuffed that we have got on their radar. And if you ever want to sponsor us, lads - well you know where we are...

So back to business.We have booked two last minute gigs for this weekend. Both on Saturday 12th April. We are starting off the day playing at Media City as part of their 'Garden Party'. There's lots going on including food stalls, free family activities and live music. So if you don't have plans there's really no excuse as it's FREE. We're on at 5pm.

Then in the evening we're heading to Ruby Lounge to support The Wooden Tops.We still have a few spaces on the guest list which gets you in for £6 rather than £12.50 so drop us a message on Facebook or Twitter if you want on.

And lastly. We were excited to get our hands on these:



We are really looking forward to headlining Gorilla, Manchester on 17th May. This will be the biggest crowd we've played to so far, and we are going to be working hard in rehearsal over the next few weeks to make sure the set is top notch. Fellow Salfordians, Skinny Roller are supporting us again on the night, along with another band who are making a lot of noise, The High Nines. The roof is COMING OFF, so make sure you get in touch for tickets ASAP as they will go fast. Check out the full event details here.
