the Hamptons.southampton.the luminaire.london
I've been less active on this blog as of late, but that's because we've been so busy lately! seriously! going to work feels like time off at the moment.
This weekend we played in southampton for day 1 of a ones to watch weekender curated by our lovely lovely friends haunted stereo. The line-up was fairly eclectic and I quite enjoyed the little phillestines. They're from sawth london - I think we're going to start a bit of a gang war with them.
After the show we piled into our van back to my mum's house (which is only 10 mins from southampton), back to relative luxury and am abysmal lack of quality television - seriously, someone needs to sort tv out, although admittedly it was 2 in the morning. The next day the van for some reason wouldn't start. Fortunate that we weren't in some travelodge car park - but ultimately a fairly sizable ball ache. we spent the rest of the morning watching blazing saddles till the RAC man arrived, sprayed hair spray over the engine and somehow got it to work. that is 100 per cent what happened.
So somehow got back to london to play day 2 of the platforms: live ones to watch show. Platforms: live are excellent promoters - really really lovely people which in this current musical world are an extreme rarity - and while their next show at the union chapel for owen pallet (formerly known as final fantasy) has sold out I'd definitely recommend getting tickets for their next Owl's parliament show as soon as possible- though I don't know if they're out yet...
anyway it was a wonderful lineup to be playing with, and head and shoulders the best band I've seen, not just this year but in quite some time, were Erland and the Carnival. So much so I purchased their album - how rare is that these days. it comes out next week on full time hobby but I haven't listened to it yet. their live show was well ace though - wonderfully skewed trippy proggy stomping folk, kind of like mystery jets meets the wicker man...maybe. anyhow they're on tour in feb and supporting wild beasts in march. def check them out!
so now we have 3 days off before we in the house of strange studio where great acts like noah and the whale (who I'm thinking maybe should have had the award for best album of 2009), mumford and sons and emmy the great among others have recorded before us.
Lots of love.

SOSAYSO @ the Scala w/ The Veils - Mon 21 Sept
Friends, we're playing with the Veils at the cavernously large Scala this Monday. Without question this will be the biggest, brightest and most exciting show we've played to date. And considering our last show was at the Social where the stage was so small I literally had skin-to-skin contact with at least two members of the band at any one point a 1200 capacity venue shouldn't that much of a change of pace. Plus it will be ace to see the guys from the Veils again as it's been ages almost 6months since we last appeared on the same stage together.
As for the future, well we are playing with the excellent Exlovers at Hoxton Bar and Grill in a week or two, and after that with 4or5 musicians at the fly. We were scheduled to play with our good friends Thomas Tantrum and Haunted Stereo in November but unfortunately can't do that now. But regardless everyone should still go and see them as they're both blatantly amazing. Serious. Haunted stereo were Q's record of the day a couple of weeks ago and you wouldn't want to go and fuck off Q would you?
In other news the new website goes live in two days, or one day...it goes live Sunday. It should be pretty fancy I'm told and apparently this blog will appear on there as well. And if you're reading this post-sunday it is pretty fancy and this blog is on there/here...
This month I've been all over the show, drunk for a large part of it - but this weekend I will be at the The Victoria with my soul mates Televised Crimewave for it's one year birthday. it's free entry and should be the best fun.

May 21st
Almost two weeks without a post - I assume this to be a long time in the blogosphere (blogasphere?).
So updates:
We're now on twitter. A website I'm still in the process of loathing, though I'm sure I'll come round. Follow us to receive up 160 characters worth of eloquential literary joy.
As mentioned in a previous post we're not playing live for a bit as we continue to work on new songs...but when we do come back we're playing with the brilliant Hjaltalin at the Borderline on the 21st of May. Tickets are £9 on the door - but only £5 on our cheap list.
And in other news:
I caught up with Haunted Stereo the other day at their show in Kilburn. They are actually my favourite band in the world at the moment and their new stuff is sounding brilliant - dark and sexy but still vibrant and organic. They're playing in Putney at the Half-moon tomorrow. Also playing tomorrow are our good friends Portasound at the Victoria which I think I'll be venturing to. Oh - and of course the brilliant The Good Gods are playing Cargo tonight for Attitude Is Everything which I'll also be going to
Finally - I've been watching a lot of this show recently. Now I don't have a television so I don't know basically anything about whats on these days, but I think its safe to assume that this is probably the best thing on it.

THURSDAY!
This Thursday (26.03.09) we're playing Jamboree which is on Cable Street, Limehouse. Its our last gig for a couple of months and defnitely the last time we'll be playing this set in this format for a long while.
In other news we were back in the rehearsal room today and there's a lot of good stuff going. Jeion and I have some lovely new peddles we've been playing with which are really helping produce a much richer and full sound.
This week i've been listening lots to Baltimore's finest Steve Hefter and Friends of Friends, as well as our good and incredibly talented friends Haunted Stereo. Definitely worth checking both out.
