We've raised our ugly heads again

Last night we played the Old angel, it had been a long time since i'd been in only to find out it had all been redecorated and all drinks were £1.50 ......Happy days!

Our mates in Knifecutter opened with a 2 piece assault with guitar and drums, there were some wicked riffs and in times i was reminded of drone legends Earth and a host of other ATP favourites, not sure what the next band were called but they weren't bad, not really my kinda thing but not bad, next up were Liverpuddlians Eighth Day Army, i'd checked them out on myspace and was looking forward to seeing them and they didn't disappoint with their "experi-metal" in parts they reminded me of Fall of Troy mixed with old school Biffy Clyro, definitley gonna try and sort a few more shows together in the future too!

Our sound was a bit meh due to us missing our soundcheck but we battled on and it was alreet, if anything it was a nice little warm up for next weeks shows so thanks to everyone who stuck around for us, appreciated as always!



Just gotta kill a few more hours in work today and then we're headin into Studio Amp in Derby to start recording a few new tracks :-)

will keep ya posted!

in a bit!

News News and a bit more news!

I've been recovering from a messy weekend back in Ireland most of this week, Will and I took the trip over for the boys from ASIWYFA's "A Little Solidarity" which was fucking brilliant, makes ya right proud to be from NI and what those boys achieved over 3 days was nothing short of amazing and their show was unreal, looking forward to teaming up with them again for some shows in the New year!

Some of you may or may not have noticed that we've been particularly quiet this month but we've been busy beavering away at some new songs for you all to get your ears around while we've been in hiding and we'll be back in action next tuesday at the Old Angel in Notts, we'll be playing some of the new material to warm up before we head back into the studio to record a few tracks and then we'll join maybeshewill and Buenos aires for a few days before we head back to our hometowns to fatten up and see our families and friends for Christmas :-)



We're trying to keep ourselves as busy as possible and are now booking shows for 2009, we've almost completed booking a little tour with Irish boys "Tapasia" for March in England and Norn Ireland!

we have a few more things up our sleeves too but you'll have to wait a few more days to find out!

The most excitement this week has in store is "Russian circles" and "These arms are snakes" on Friday..........HAPPY DAYS!!!!!!!!!!
