bloggus numero unos

Okay, here goes. First blog, so let's kick things off and talk about what's going down in the world of BIE (it's a small world, mind).

The summer of expanding our sound (ie using a fuzz box and louder singing) and gigging is over. Now it is cold and thus, we have recorded our amazingly titled 'EP2', consisting of what were probably our five strongest tracks, at the time. (beforeiexplode.bigcartel.com--buy it!). We seem to be getting louder as the band goes on; i think it's something to do with our desperation to be heard over the clank of bottles at various london town bars (and wherever else we end up).

geeze i do use a lot of brackets ( ! ). anyway after a long and over priced coach trip back home from a soho gig on monday night, sophie and i decided we should start documenting our shenanigans more, and grabbing some photos along the way. we've got a house party of our superfan and good friend james lawson (awesome lawson) to play in just over a week, and we're right stoked for it. we've got another gig in london two days before, and that's it for this year. other than that, there's another guitar tutorial on it's way, of one our old skool songs, so look forward to that!

anyway, it's one in the morning and i'm drinking jd and coke which is not the best alternative to coco so i may be up some time. another blog to follow soon, probably with much more information and more interesting little insights into our (not so) brilliant minds.

i have no pictures of our gigs this month, so here's one of me looking fairly moody, having returned from a 3D screening of 'A Christmas Carol'. rock n roll.
