It’s been a little while since the last update, perhaps because there hasn’t been that much in the way of news, but that’s not to say we haven’t been busy. Shane flew back from his holidays last night, and we had a bit of catch up on what we’d all been up to. Rather than just lying in the sun, he’s been busy writing production notes for the album, and is eager to push on with getting it completed. Today is his birthday. Happy Birthday Shane!
I jokingly mentioned to Shane that we’d written half the next album whilst he’s been away. It might not be that far from the truth, as Marc and I have been throwing around quite a few new song ideas. It’ll be interesting to see how they turn out when we work them with the full band. You probably won’t hear most of them for a little while as we’re trying to get the album finished off, although we might air one or two acoustically, perhaps even capturing a video of one or two if we get chance.
Which brings me on nicely to mention a couple of acoustic shows that we’re going to play over the next month or two. First off is a Charity gig at Boxmoor Cricket Club, Hemel Hempstead on Friday 15th August. It’s £5 entry, ticket only, but tickets can be reserved to pay for on the door by emailing the promoter (check myspace listing for more details). Our other gig is at Amber Rooms in Watford. It’s a venue we’ve been frequenting of late, for the Camel Club nights which after a bit of a hiatus, have found a new home. We’ve caught some cool bands doing stripped down and acoustic sets the last few weeks, so hopefully see you down in the basement there on Monday 22nd September. It’s quite an intimate setting, so rather than risk your ears we’ll most probably be playing sans-drums.
Stee J.
