HAIIIIII.
Another blog, haven't done one in time. So, what's the haps peeps? Well, watch this space but in a few weeks...we'll be on spotify oh wooo. Gotta contemporiiiise, be in it to win it.
Played in Oxford the other week. I like that place, even though we only saw it in the dark and I'm pretty sure I was hungover to death. Small crowd but JESUS we are used to that by now. The sound was okay, but not as good the 02 Academy ( 3..) that we played last night. I lost my voice so couldn't do any of my usual vocal garbage, but the sound was pretty sweet. Again a small crowd, but at least we got a dressing room this time.
We totally 100% have to get signed by someone before the summer and get put on a tour. I don't care what they say, I think it's about time we got that privilege (i paid my dues, maaan!). Only sold one cd last night, oh the shame!! I'm going to have to stop getting taxis to gigs at this rate (poor old band fund).
No new songs at the moment, we're just trying to road test the ones we have as much as possible. I'm pretty happy with the set we are jamming out at the moment, it's pretty well rounded. But man, sometimes I just want people to dance to Everything and Nothing, cause I'm always dancing to it when we play it. I guess no one wants to dance to an unsigned support band. Or maybe just us. FA!L.
Anyways, we had a mass prang out about this BBC6 bullshit, as they are the only station to play our music (about some station my friend ash works on, and some spanish radio station). Sort it out fat cats.
OH YEAH. We're going to be on the soundtrack for a documentary being screened at SXSW festival (who Idiot Pilot are playing at, fucking love those guys). More news on that when there's more.
Should be re-releasing It's Beautiful Up Here as just an acoustic track, and an improved Sleeper Hit and The Skeleton Song. A nice little treat for all you ambient lovers who don't approve of the beatz and arpeggios. If we get it on spotify you can just stick it on and fall asleep to it (then wake up and BUY it for a reasonable price).
We need more fans. But love to the ones we still have, who keep popping up at random gigs and leave random facebook comments or myspace ones (it's sad myspace is dying).
Who knows what's gonna happen, all I can say is it's about time we were doing more. So hopefully we will. Who knows, life is cruel and a pain in the ass.
Oh...and last night was the first BIE gig to feature pinch harmonics. I think they were mainly accidental
