We’ve finally sorted ourselves out (nearly, anyway).

Our shiny new site is live!
As you can see we have a nice new, rebranded site; hopefully we’ll keep it more updated this time. We have a new gallery section, a new gig section, and a nice mp3 player to the right.

There are still some things that could do with changing/improving, but that’s mainly just because Todd is never happy with his work. If you do notice anything odd/broken though, let us know in the comments.

We’ve also updated our twitter, myspace, last.fm and facebook accounts. Links to which you can find in the navigation at the top, and also in the footer.

Demos are done!
If you’ve been following us on twitter (and if you haven’t, shame on you! Follow us now) you’ll have seen we have completed the 5 track demo. It’s all packaged and it looks great. Thanks again to Abe Sinclair for the great artwork!

We’ll be posting how to get hold of one in the next few days.

New gig!
We have decided to put on a gig! It’ll be at Milo, Leeds, on December 13th. We are currently looking for another band to play, so if you’re interested, get in touch.

All that’s left now is to put the songs on spotify and itunes. We’ll keep you posted with more details!

Right, a bit of a jumbled post but here goes.

The gig last Thursday went well (New Roscoe, Leeds). Decent crowd, good, friendly bands and plenty of alcohol. We also got a live CD which sounds pretty good, so that’ll be uploaded onto our myspace soon.

The upcoming gig (The Well, Leeds) should be good. We’re going to perform a new song hopefully; it’ll be good to gauge peoples reactions of it. We should also be getting some band photos done at it, so this blog might stop looking so bland!

Speaking of this blog, it’ll be undergoing some changes very soon. We’re not really happy with the look and feel of it, so we’re going to be making it much easier to use, and also putting our songs onto it. I think we’re going to move more away from myspace (it’s shocking, and do people even use it any more?) to a more custom site, but we’ll see.

Now for some good news, the EP has been mastered, and the artwork pretty much finalised! We should be pressing it soon, and then sending it out to venues shortly after. Copies will be available on our site, and also at the gigs we play. I think we’ll be putting it up for free download as well.

We’ll update again (probably after the gig on Thursday) when we have more information.
