Hi, Sorry I've Been Silent

. . But my computer died on me, and I took a long while to get another one. Lots of things have happened and lots more are going to happen. Since we played Glastonbury, we played a festival called Watts Fest in Devon, with Rozi Plain and Rachael Dadd, both of whom are ace.

The weekend after we played the launch for Rachael's new album, 'Bite the Mountain', which is great. Our good friend Chris Lucraft, together with Rachael and her partner Ichi (who is also musically great), made a stop-motion video to go with the single, 'Balloon':

Also, check out Rozi Plain's video for her song 'Humans':

Our next gig is on the 25th August, at Dalston Roof Park, as part of See/Hear Club, and afterwards we'll be showing 'Annie Hall' by Woody Allen, which is great. .

(I promise I'll sort out the video link thing soon. . .)

Glastonbury good times

So we had an amazing festival, and it was really good to play on BBC Introducing Stage, and a load of people were there, which was a really nice surprise. There's a track from our set (The Griffin and the Minor Canon) and an interview we did afterwards with Tom Robinson here:

We appear at around 1 hour 30 minutes. My deeply buried West Country accent seems to have chosen this moment to make an appearance, probably being in Somerset made it feel secure.

Also, this is our little page on the BBC website, with some pictures from the gig and suchlike:

Thanks so much to everyone who came down to see us.

Personal highlights of the festival for me were Wild Beasts, Battles, and the fact that Marcus and Emma played with Laura Marling on the Pyramid Stage (find it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/festivals/glastonbury/2011/artists/lauramarling/#p00ht602 ).

Glastonbury Countdown

3 days to go till we get to Glastonbury, which is exciting. .
We played the single launch for our friend Ollie's band Bronze Medallists song 'Mathematics' last night, which was fun, along with Dogtanion and Victoria and Jacob. This is the video for the single:

Also, been watching this documentary to get myself in the mood:

Hopefully see you there!

Photos from the Slaughtered Lamb, supporting Moddi

Moddi's drummer, Jorgen Nordby, took these photos when we supported Moddi at their album launch at the Slaughtered Lamb. Moddi are ace, they make lots of amazing soundscape noises, behind Moddi himself, who sings these quiet beautiful songs that build and get louder.

Glastonbury!!

So our stage time at Glastonbury is 12.45 - 13.10 on Sunday, on the BBC Introducing Stage, which I believe is in the Dance Village (have it). .Anyone in the vicinity please come and say hi/watch us play, (yes I know, it's practically Sunday morning and you'll be comatose/hurting/eating breakfast, but come on, we'll make sure it's worth it).

Glastonbury ETC

This is what we looked like when we played the Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition. More news about playing the festival coming soon. .
