Busy, Waitress, Pope

Posted: Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Greetings one and all, this week sees the start of a very busy month for us. We have a series of fantastic gigs coming up starting tonight at The Bridge Hotel in Newcastle, when we will be playing with our friends & family Gabriel (David English Band), Lesley Rowlie & Simpleswan, amongst others.

Next Tuesday we are playing Trillians with Scottish band, and Marmaduke Duke / Biffy Clyro affiliates, Sucioperro! This promises to be a cracking night!

Later in the month we are also putting in an appearance at the ‘Glastonburyed’ Music festival at Newcastle University. For tickets go here: www.glastonburyed.com.

Performing with us at all of these gigs will be our new bass/keyboard/whatever-else-he-can-get-his-hands-on-player Mr. John Pope, who we whole-heartedly welcome to the band.

Finally, we have been sending off our song ‘Waitress’ (digitally released last month) completely unsolicited to a wide variety of radio stations (we like to do these things old school, folks). So we are hoping to get some airplay (if we haven’t already?), also sometime over the next month we will be a www.radionowhere.org ‘Band of the Week’, listen out for our jingles, which we had a whole lot of fun creating (aping – the ‘Bob Dylan Radio Hour’?… surely not ; )

We wish you all very well.
