It’s Monday morning and only by 53 minutes but it’s going prey swell. Our debut single is out RIGHT NOW!!! It’s been strange because it’s all that I’ve been thinking so much about for the last however many months and now it’s actually here, the release of one ‘A-side’ 3 minute 23 seconds of music by a ‘band’ who are trying as hard as they can to be as true to themselves musically as people as they can. Looking back it’s strange having a single out only now when all that it feels we’ve done: playing random shows that you think are going to be the best thing you’ve done but won’t turn out like that, practicing when work permits it, writing songs, the tours, self doubt and misbelief, taking gambles that you hope you’ll win on. It does feel good to put all the work we’ve put in so far into a physical product.
Definitely we have to thank everyone who’s supported us up until now, it’s been pretty sweet and we owe you our hearts… you know who are are.
So Drifting Away is out on CD right now. You can buy it from our myspace or website and it’ll be on itunes in exactly a week so you can get it in delicious internet 128kps quality on 22nd Sept. This week should be wicked, come celebrate the release with us at Bristol, Camden or Marlborough this week, it’s really going to be ace I promise.
In other news it has been Crispysock this weekend in our hometown Andover. Our good friend and legend Crispy passed away three years ago and this year was the third annual Crispystock; and judging by the state of the majority of us who took advantage of the celebration of his life it was wicked once again, paying homage to the big boy in true inebriated fashion perhaps.
Thanks to everyone who supported us at Sugarhill and the Bear, I have to say they were both the funnest shows we’ve all played in aggeessss. It was muddy but we absorbed the muddy brown-ness and life got better. We saw some great bands, namely Broken Records; they were amazing. I loved the strings. I also enjoyed Johnny Foreigner, they were pretty sweet also..
So make sure you continue supporting us like the wicked people you are and buy Drifting Away! If not just buy to get the b-side which sounds quite nice I think. It’s out on the internet now, from our myspace or the website in CD format. Next you’ll be able to get it a week from now in itunes on the 22nd of Sept.
finally thanks everyone for your ongoing support, see you next week in Bristol, Camden or Marlborough!
