We had the immense pleasure of supporting not just our good friends the 102's in the their latest album launch, but also supporting a great charity SANDS LOTHIAN - which received over £400 after the gig.
Not only were we able to enjoy playing live again, but we were able to road test how the new tunes would sit in a live context with a sprinkling of some old tunes...maybe a wee tweek here or there but we were both very happy on how we played and how they were received.
BTW the new album by The 102's is incredible
So, our journey continues with the next stop being Dundee, updated details on our event page if you click here.
As always, we cannot wait to get back to Dundee again. It is almost like a second home, the way we are lucky enough to be treated by the good people there is a joy at every turn. We are both very excited about this.
We are very pleased to be included in this years line up for one of the best festivals in Scotland, the 2016 Eden Festival, over the weekend of the 9-12th June.
Situated nr Beattock , Dumfriesshire it is just over an hour from Glasgow, and there to ensure the whole family has an experience never to forget.
The theme for this years Eden Festival will be Myths & Legends! Get creative with the costume making and slap this year - were going to be having legendary dance battles, en mass work outs, paint fights and eden olympics in full clobber! See you in the Garden you mythical legends!
As ever, when more details come to hand check our events page for each gig, but will add already sold out the first two tiers of tickets so do not take long to decide.
As the picture shows, we are ashamed, and beg for your forgiveness
Now that is out the way, lets get caught up ? How's things your side ? Hopefully still enjoying life as much as you possibly can ? We will catch up more and more during this year, it is a promise. Here is a wee snippet of what we have been doing
So since the previous blog, we played 3 amazing shows in October (Bathgate, Inverness & King Tuts, Glasgow) that really book marked our amazing 2015 quite beautifully. The last gig at King Tuts blew our minds and crowd was certainly the best we have played to in there My Baby and The River, along with ourselves shook the foundations and got the old girl boogeying more than she had for a while - still heard her creaking as we were packing up ha ha
From then, we have dedicated ourselves to our studio and ensuring that relationship turned into a very fruitful experience. Very happy to say we now have 5 brand new tracks demo-ed and ready to hit the recording for next album. We also are on such a creative burst just now the rest of the album is writing itself, with more and more tracks pouring out almost every week. We have threatened to use our own recording facility for a couple of years and now can say we have turned into studio junkies...very, very addictive. We are aiming to have these first batch recorded during next 2 months at studio of our choice with top class engineer twindling the knobs (oo-er misses).
So, to try and wean ourselves out of the studio we are pleased to say we have TWO gigs we can announce
Saturday 14th May - Cerberus, Bell St, Dundee DD1 1HF
Saturday 4th June - Dreadnought, 14-16 King St, Bathgate EH48 1AX
Both of these gigs will be a huge blast to play. Dundee, we just love and has always been up for every gig we have ever played. Bit of a smaller venue, however we could not turn down the offer from a good friend to come and play for him, WE CANNOT WAIT.
Bathgate, is going to be a VERY BUSY NIGHT. That date is Bathgate Galaday, and if anything like our last couple of gigs it will be a frigging belter of a night.
Supports for both gig will be announced over next couple of weeks, and more details for each to come as well all of which will be on our events page.
Also, unfortunately we have had to delay our BIG NEWS until Monday, but believe me when I say it will be worth the wait.
Thank you for staying with us on social media (facebook & twitter) over the past few barren months on the interweb, promise we have so much more to be sharing with you this year...going to be another HUGE ONE.
