Update and gigs in February.

posted by Joe.

Damn, it's late and I'm still not sure if I've spelt February right. Anyway, thought I'd better let y'all know that we're still alive after the festive period and all. Happy New Year! Hope you had a good 'un. Most of us had the flu over Christmas which was just great, apart from Thilo who had the bright idea of getting the hell out of the country. Oh, to be a foreigner. Not much band activity has been happening because of this, but as always, we've got loads planned for this year. We're planning on getting into the studio to record some of these songs we've been writing since forever (or October to be precise) and I'm really looking forward to it. We think we'll be heading into La Chunky studios in Glasgow, where Amplifico have just finished up recording their album. Karina was in there, recording some backing vocals for the 'fico record back in November/ December time and she was saying its a great wee studio with lovely ye olde mics, compressors, etc. Thats going to be great. I think the tunes we'll be recording are Game Show Host at Home, Time Flies By and Tiny Tales. All of which you would of heard if you were at the King Tut's gig in December (which was great btw, thanks for asking!). Tiny Tales is defo gonna be a stonker and we've got high hopes for the others. The guys from La Chunky came down to the gig and have had some great ideas for the tunes, so that too is very exciting.
The band have also got a couple of gigs up in Inverness in February and the wonderful Dave Eunson (who it feels like I've not seen in about 6 months) designed this nice wee flyer for the shows. Read and it'll tell you where and when:

Nice.

Hope some of you can make it to these gigs. Tis always a hoot shooting up that way.

Thats enough for now anyway. We promise that we won't take such a long blog writing vacation as we've just had so check back please.

All the best and good luck with your New Years Resolutions.
