The Manchester show is now at Star & Garter, and there’s more info on shows to come which we’ll be shouting about.

Til then, we’re playing Hit The Deck Festival on April 20/21 in Bristol and Nottingham which should be fun.

Cheers! x

 

 

Our new song Back To Hackey is now available as a single download here.

I write from the current GCHQ of Exeter, Devon. After finishing recording Like I Belong around here at Peter Miles’ studio, I kind of just never left. The Cavern is awesome, it’s nice being out in the countryside and you can travel 40 minutes to find somewhere to surf. Devon is a good place to be right now.

After putting the first song we’ve released from Like I Belong up on YouTube (listen to In My Head here), we’re doing a video for another song off the record this coming week. Patrick James Pearson - who played keys on the record – will be filming it, so I have full faith that it’ll come out looking lovely.

A couple of weeks ago I finished up an acoustic tour with Sam Russo, El Morgan, Helen Chambers, Kelly Kemp and Roo from Bangers. All of those guys are amazing and it was a blast to hang out with them. The shows were awesome and each night I just wanted to watch everyone else play. Solo yolo, man. If you haven’t picked it up yet, check out the first Darlington Sessions record featuring new songs from Kelly, Roo and myself from Banquet Records right here. I’m proud to be part of such a fun/weird sounding record. Weird in the best way possible.

We’re working out pre-orders for Like I Belong right now. I’m excited!

A few weeks ago we went up to Soundlab Studios to record a live session with James, Jack and a few friends with cameras. We played In My Head and Twenty Five – check it out below.

 

 

Have a gander at Soundlab Studios and Jack’s band Giants. Those guys have been incredibly helpful and shown us a lot of love over the last couple of years. Viva James and Jack.

 

 

Glad to finally say you can hear a new song from our new record, Like I Belong, streaming now on YouTube.

Click below to listen. More on the album to come soon.

Year ender

Hello and Merry Christmas – hope you all had a good one. I can’t believe it’s nearly New Year’s Eve already! That is absolutely nuts.

Right now we’re putting the final touches to our brand new full length record. The album is recorded – it has 13 new songs – and we’ve seen the front cover. We’re nearly there and we’re looking at a Spring release. Right now we’re mostly deciding on song titles, which surprisingly has been the most time consuming part of this record. It’s looking like ‘Doobeedoobeedoo’ won’t feature on this one… bollocks. All other details to come very soon along with a new song or two.

For now though, we’re playing a show at The Windmill in Brixton on 2nd January. Ignore your stinking hangovers and your empty wallets, and come hang out:
