Thought i'd just remind everyone of something thats on our links page.

There's a cracking folky alternative emag out there called Suitcase Orchestra, you should read it, they did a brilliant review of our album and they also have Facebook page so add them.

I've discovered loads of great music through there and they usually have details on the next TKASG gigs in Middlesbrough which is useful, given they put the best gigs on EVER!

Actually, here's TSKG's page as well, which is handy.

Bought the Arcade Fire album last week. Taken it in over the week and its fantastic. Not quite OK Computer like someone somewhere said last week.
 
Definitely potential for their best album though, if a few tracks too long.
 
Surely a top album album is between 9-12 tracks? or 30-45 minutes in length?
 
Not 16!!!
 
Think about it.

Thanks to everyone who came to the festival on Saturday, one of the best gig's i've done and a really big crowd to boot.

The cobwebs are now off and we can concentrate on big sounds. hopefully we can get some gigs booked asap.

There'll be a secret show end of the month so be in touch somehow if you fancy coming along.

I've never done a blog before... it'll be evident reading this...

Today's snippet comes live and direct from Grizzo in his dressing gown... having spent a good couple of hours sifting through the videos of yesterdays practice session.

They're not for public consumption, merely a practice aid on my part due to having a memory like a sieve... and it's working!

4 weeks to learn new songs from scratch and put them in some sort of public order ready for the old Fringe fest takes some doing.

I won't harp on too much. Things are really good right now. We're all itching to get the songs dusted off and present them to you in
Stockton. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoy the polishing.

over and out

Whilst in prep for our Riverside Festival appearance, thought I'd share some current listenings.

- Think Tank, Blur
- Teen Dream, Beach House
- Veckatimest, Grizzly Bear
- The Man Who, Travis

Mostly transfixed by albums with white sleaves but ones where you don't have to skip tracks.

and/or albums that suit both summer and winter!
