Small earthquake in Holloway

Monday, November 28th, 2011

Dotting in momentarily here to let you know that we have another London gig for y’all, this one a short-notice affair at the Nambucca, Holloway Road (Holloway Road tube, or Upper Holloway overground) this Wednesday. This is a new venue for us, in our continuing campaign to take over all of the capital. We’ll be just one of a glittering line-up who you can see for £4 entry if you print off the flyer linked just above (don’t forget, or else it’s £7 on the door!)

Plans continue to be hatched to make the EP “We Are All Strange Jane” available for purchase as well as listening, both as a download and in physical form. Keep watching the skies!

One door closes, another opens

Well, so much for the poor old Standard Music Venue. (A most inaccurate name, I always thought; it was an awesome music venue, and not standard in the least!) We saw it off in style with our rawkin’est gig yet, assisted by two bands we’ve played with before, Kickstarter and Third Wave — with whose members we ended up outside the back door at one point, a dozen of us all confessing our love for Weezer (!) and naming our favourite songs by them — plus some new names to us, The Stabilisers, who let us use their drums and bass amp, and who played bloody well. Kickstarter and Third Wave both have EPs out and both are worth checking…

… but naturally we hope you’ll look at our EP first. All four tracks are now listenable right here on the website, replacing the rather mouldy old demos we had here before. And if you want downloadable copies, or a CD version (with spiffy cover art and a joke on the back cover) … watch this space for further announcements — plus a surprise! — shortly.

“Strange Jane” has already been played on a US radio station, which makes us feel extremely smug.
