FESTIVAL TIME

Posted on by

Sonisphere - 4 weeks to goThere’s four weeks to go until Sonisphere, or more likely, slightly less by the time you read this. Don’t delay, get a ticket. We’re playing on the Saturday, and you can read an interview about it with Chris here.

We’re also playing the excellent Willowman Festival in North Yorkshire, and the brilliant Bladefest near Leicester.

Chris will be opening at Ginger Wildheart‘s upcoming Japan gigs (as well as playing in Ginger’s band) doing a Eureka Machines’ acoustic set. If you’re in Japan, make sure you’re there. It’s probably a bit far from Leeds.

Thanks to all at Camden Rocks. It was so much fun that we’re thinking about rejigging the rest of our plans for this year.

SONISPHERE

sonisphereWe’ve had a lot of great gigs so far this year, but are pleased to announce one that might take some beating.  We’ll be playing at Sonisphere on Saturday 5 July, allowing us to fulfil our respective childhood dreams of shouting “Hello Knebworth!” while ACTUALLY BEING ON A STAGE AT KNEBWORTH.

Chris will be wearing two hats that day (well, one hat and one tie) as he’ll also be headlining the Bohemia Stage with his other band.  As ever, head over to the gigs page for ticket links.  We’ll let you know our stage and time once it’s been confirmed.  And if July seems a long way away, don’t forget that the Camden Rocks Festival is this month…

We hope to see as many of you there as possible.  There’ll be lots of amazing bands vying for your attention that day and it’d be brilliant if you came and saw ours.

GIGS: DONE (FOR A MONTH OR SO)

Eureka Machines in WalsallWell, that was the tour. And we had the best time ever. Sold out four of the gigs. Rejuvenated our spirits even further than last year’s Pledge campaign. And ate some really good chips.

Thanks all for coming and seeing us. We had such an ace time. Big thanks to all the promoters, and those who helped promote it, either by putting up posters or simply sharing it around on their Facebooks and Twitters. We rely on you lot (maybe a bit too much) and appreciate everything hugely. And huge enormous thanks to our mate Matt, who helped us out with the driving and the loading, particularly for Wayne. Cheers Matt.

We’ve a couple of bits in the diary – including a slot at Camden Rocks at 2.30pm on May 31st, at the frankly massive Electric Ballroom, so please turn up early! And a warm-up for that the night before with a full set at Nottingham Maze. We’re just dotting the i’s on a couple of other bits which we will tell you about soon.

Looking forward to the next one immensely!

YET MORE GIGS – MANCHESTER/ WALSALL/ BRISTOL

Posted on by

1504543_10152364030707049_495884433_nThis weekend will go down in history as one of our finest and funnest weekends of all time. Leicester and London, both brilliant and both SOLD OUT. It’s been a long time coming and the result of a LOT of hard work that we feel might, finally, be paying off. So thank you ALL for coming – it has been truly brilliant.

The final weekend of touring fun is this weekend – Manchester Gullivers on Friday (which is also sold out), Walsall Goldmine Centre on Sat and Bristol Louisiana on Sun. Our good friends Tropical Contact are coming along to open, so do get down early. They’ll all be great fun nights. Opening in Bristol is our pal Jon Poole (Cardiacs/Wildhearts), who will be joined by Chris Catalyst for a song or six, do NOT miss this. A few tickets are still available for both Walsall and Bristol.

That’s it for now…. hope to see some of you at the weekend. X
