Daisy Rogers birthday show

Michael — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 11:22:25 +0000

We had a great time at the Daisy Rogers 4th birthday party last night! It was wonderful to see the venue so busy and to receive such a good response. We played a new song When The Summer Came and also, at the request of the audience, played this:

Brilliant fun. We haven’t got any live shows for a while now, but will be back in touch with news soon.

We’re very much looking forward to our headline Daisy Rogers show at the Jericho Tavern on Friday 26th April. To celebrate in advance we thought we’d give you a little treat. Until Friday 26th you can download our track Spooked for free here. It was first heard on our 3 Songs EP.

2013: go

Michael — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 20:03:05 +0000

Well, hello all. Singer Michael here wishing you all the best for 2013. We hope it’s going well for you.

November 2012 saw the release of Tiger Mendoza‘s Prometheus Unbound, featuring yours truly on vocals, which was released at a massive show at the O2 Academy in Oxford. I sang the track and a great night was had by all.

We finished up 2012 with a rammed gig at the Oxford Phoenix Picture House. The special gig was to celebrate the release of Phil McMinn‘s new EP. The lovely Jordan O’Shea opened proceedings, and it was a wonderful night all round.

2013′s been going marvellously for us so far. We’ve been working on some great new material, which one of us described as a ‘cross between Tool and That Fucking Tank‘. The comparison is probably a little optimistic/weird, but it sounds like a good idea all the same.

Also, some gigs! We’ve got a headline London show on 26 February, a wonderful art gallery show in March, then gearing up for a big headline show in April. Rumours abound as to who we’re playing with at that one.

We’ve had some requests for radio interviews and the like, so keep an eye out for them. Plus as always you can stalk us on Twitter.

Also, we’re currently putting together our Greatest Hits so far, so let us know what you’d like to be on there and we’ll see what we can do.

Finally, why not participate in some live action behavioural engineering? If you’d like to get the truly authentic experience of reading this blog post, go back and start at the beginning while listening to Malta’s Stolen Creep play Wolves. I saw them play in December and they’re great. It’s also what I’ve got on as I write this.

Meta.

2013: go

We start 2013 with news about new tracks and a series of gigs.

Audioscope album | release gig

Michael — Wed, 12 Sep 2012 16:09:39 +0000

We’re back from our summer travels and already have a great announcement. Our friends over at Audioscope have included us on their excellent new compilation Music For a Good Home 2. The album features no less than 38 artists who’ve played at their annual Audioscope gigs, and many of the tracks are exclusive to this release.

The album will be released at September’s Music In Oxford gig this coming Friday at the Wheatsheaf in Oxford. We’re on at around 9pm. Also playing are the beautiful Felix, the unhinged Cellar Family (who played with us at the release of ROTATE in March) and the super Karhide.

We’ve heard from the Audioscope guys that attendees can get a special advance copy of the album, so make sure you pick that up.

Tickets cost a very reasonable £5 from here. Our track Mayday was recorded by Umair from Trojan Horse Recordings at the excellent Silver Street Studios in Reading. Mayday is one of our heaviest songs to date. We debuted it in March. Needless to say, I shout ‘mayday’ a lot in it.

In other news, we’re putting together some gigs for later in the year. Plus new songs, of course. More about that when we have it.

Don’t forget that you can now get our pretty much our entire back catalogue in our shop, including our mini-album Disclaimer which has long sold out in CD format.

See you Friday,

-Michael
