19/8/10 : LeeFest 2010
At the weekend, Dave, Nick and I went to LeeFest down in Kent, a one-day festival headlined by Futureheads. We were there in the role of 'Wandering Minstrels' and so, despite the rain, we wandered the festival arena and played our songs to the people, even if they didn't want us to, or didn't know what on earth was going on. In fact, most people loved it and everyone seemed to want to have a go on my concertina.
5/8/10 : Floating on the Thames
Well, our EP launch gig on a boat went well! Thanks to everyone who came along and said nice things to us afterwards. It turns out that the boat we were on (moored to the side of the Albert Embankment) only floats for a few hours each day, as the tide changes. We were afloat while we were playing, which was interesting - fortunately there were no sudden lurches causing Toby to miss a glock note! It was a little scary seeing the water get closer and closer to the bottom of the window until it started to lap over the glass though!
David Cronenberg's Wife and Thomas Truax were both great too, love Thomas' crazy gadgets. Yep, it was a top night, and I hope we can play on the Tamesis Dock again some time, it was a very charming boat - I'd love to own one and turn it into a floating house and recording studio... Next stop for us - The Lexington!

19/7/10 : Waves Freeze To Rolling Hills EP Launch Party - 8:30pm Weds 4th August - on a 1930's Dutch barge on the Thames!
To celebrate the release of our debut EP "Waves Freeze To Rolling Hills" we'll be playing a special gig on a boat floating on the River Thames - the Tamesis Dock, a converted 1930's Dutch barge. www.tamesisdock.co.uk. There will be a free copy of our EP to everyone who comes to see us - so be sure to say our name at the door (or do I mean 'boarding platform'?) The boat is moored just south/upriver from Westminster, on the Albert Embankment, SE1 7TP. Tickets available now from Ticketweb for £6 - but remember, that also gets you a free CD! We are playing with the brilliant Thomas Truax... Note that we will be playing at 8:30pm - so don't be late!.
If you can't make it along to the boat launch party then hopefully you can make it to The Lexington, Kings Cross on the Friday night (6th Aug) - we'll be playing at the White Light club night supporting Spencer McGarry Season - www.thelexington.co.uk.
