S.O.N.A.A. Tour

We returned on Sunday from our European tour with buddies and awesome musicians Sons of Noel & Adrian. We had an amazing time and played some great venues. All the promoters and audiences were really nice, and the landscapes and the cities were pretty great. There's a few reviews and photos that people have put up since we passed through, mainly from the first non-UK show in Brussels. The venue, Botanique, is a big arts centre situated next to a park, where, as it happens, our drummer Tom proposed to his wife Sarah, whilst they were on holiday.
Anyway, here's a couple of reviews of the show, fed through google translate, which always provides amusingly weird turns of phrase:

We also had a really nice show the night after Brussels, in Munster, in a venue called Pension Schmidt.
Here's a review, with a few photos as well:

Also, there are some nice photos of us and S.O.N.A.A. playing on the Pension Schmidt facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/schmidt.pension/photos_stream

I'll flag up anything else as it appears, we are now getting excited about our gig in Brighton on Friday, supporting Soccer 96, S.O.N.A.A. and Damo Suzuki (formerly of Can). Kosmische!

5 Sleeps till the start of tour . .

The 1st date will be this coming Friday at the Lexington in Angel, supporting Sons of Noel & Adrian, and also our friends Landshapes, who used to be called Lulu and the Lampshades. This is a video of an older song of theirs:

TOUR!

I am very very pleased to announce that we will be supporting Sons of Noel & Adrian on a European tour starting on the 15th February. It's mostly a tour of Germany, with one date in Brussels and one in Ebensee in Austria, with a London gig on the 15th to start us off. Sons are a band that I've loved for a long time, and I'm pretty stoked to be going on tour with them. This is the video for their song 'Come Run Fun Stella Baby Mother of the World':

Very much looking forward to playing this gig, should be awesome. Did I say it was tomorrow night? It's tomorrow night.

Gravenhurst Tour Video

Tom made this video of our tour with Gravenhurst in October, incase you wondered what it was like. There's some shots of us playing and some other shots of us doing all the things in between, like driving and dancing and repeating each others names in to a casio keyboard.
