London Show On Sale
Hey up Lads and Lasses
Hope all's well with you. We just wanted to let you know about our last show in big ol' London before we head back to the studio. It's at Koko on 23rd November, where we'll be joined on stage by drummer, multi-instrumentalist and all round good guy Damo Waters (of the Thomas White band, Muddy Suzuki and more).
We've also been working on some visual treats to keep your eyes stimulated while we rock out. And if all that wasn't enough, we fully intend to have a couple of more-than-half-decent bands on the bill, which we hope to announce very shortly. So all in all it'll be quite the rock and roll spectacular.
Anyway, would be lovely if you could join us. And bring your friends,families and associates as well. Tickets can be obtained for £10 + bf here:

Hi lads and lasses
Hope all's good. So we have another single in the offing, the second to be taken from our recent album. Its "Let's Write a Book", backed on 7" with our cover of Syd Barrett's Terrapin. We believe its due to hit the shops on 7th June and you can, if you wish, pre-order your copy here:
