Mewsic that i've been liking...

Erm, I'm making a list of music I've heard so far this year that I've liked. Some famous, some not so.

Some are albums or EP's, some our single tracks. There's no boundaries here.

I think I will update this list as and when I remember something good!

Check this lot out using your music stealing/previewing weapon of choice. I'm more of a Spotify man myself :)

Regina Spektor - Far
Mew - Introducing Palace Players
Vienna Ditto - Dang
Cats and Cats and Cats - A Boy Called Haunts
Dry the River - The Chambers and the Valves
Tim and Sam's the Tim and Sam Band - Summer Solstice
Lady GaGa - The Fame

Cats podcast

Hey team,

Our friends Cats and Cats and Cats have recorded a podcast for Small Town America Records and were lovely enough to play 'Holding Hearts' towards the end. Yay!

Their record is due out in September, make sure you catch them live as they are sensational!

If you plan it carefully, you'll probably catch us and them on the same bill sometime soon ;-)

Hey team,

Hurrah for Brighton and all who squashed into a tiny space and made us feel like kings!

That's the first time we've played 'Hopscotch' live so we have now played everything from the forthcoming 'Oftentimes' album.

Speaking of playing live, we are playing at the Louisiana in Bristol THIS SATURDAY with The Northwestern and Tripwires.

We will be playing 'Hopscotch' again but this time with vocals. Two vocals, in fact. Which means one of two things: either Simon is singing again or we have a guest vocalist...

Advance tickets from www.bristolticketshop.com

This is our last show outside of London until September, so make the journey to the West Country for what promises to be blinder!

Then it's back into the studio. Some more exciting stuff coming your way soon...

Hi all!

Here's an update of what's happening in Freakshow Land.

Last week we enjoyed ourselves playing at Katie Fitzgerald's, Stourbridge. Thanks to any of you who came along and gave us such a great reception. We always have a great time there!

The album's ticking along but there is still lots to do! Strings should be all finished next week, then it'll be Tim's turn to add vocals before we tidy up any loose ends. We're practically buzzing with anticipation about it and are very proud of how it sounds so far. Watch this space for more news!

We will all meet sometime this week to work on some new material, including a cover!! So look out for that as well...

Upcoming shows:
The Druids, Brighton this Sat, as part of the Nice Weather for Airstrikes Festival. It's free. Need I say more?
Bristol Louisiana Sat 30th May supporting The Northwestern (ex Hope of the States). This will be a stonking show so do not miss it! Also playing are Tripwires, who are good friends of ours.

That's all for now!
Love
