Take a flip over to our fellow Captured Tracks Alumni chums Silk Flower's blog to see some cool pics of their latest visit to our Irish shores. As can be seen a fun packed weekend was had by all, featuring Sea Glass collecting in Dublin (see pic above), Joe Greene's cat - Kitty Twist, Patrick Kelleher, Peter and Jamie Wolves, the normally unstoppable super human party force that is Mark Reid finally succumbing to 2 nights without sleep, Kerry and Ali B, John Maus Graffiti (Oh Yeah!), the invention of Pass the Rock and myself hung over trying to hold down the worst veggie fry i've ever eaten. They insisted on going to Maggie Mays, please take note that i highly recommend not going there!

Tough Luck

Sorry to announce that we have had to pull out of our slot at the Tough Love Birthday Bash All Dayer on the 24th July. I am preettay preettay gutted. That line up is pretty special.

On the flip reverse though, fellow Captured Tracks alumni Silk Flowers shall be playing at this in the Menegarie, Belfast on the same night. Every cloud maybe...

Release Parties

Anyone who has ordered our mini-album out next week on Tough Love will be glad to see that these are almost ready to go as can be seen here.

THESE ARE SOLD OUT IN THE UK. There are only a few final copies available to buy this Saturday night at the Stag's head in Dalston or else in Japan. (Yes, i know, very clichéd)

Also tomorrow night in Belfast we are throwing a party at The Menagerie to celebrate our EP out now on Captured Tracks - better late than never. The Not Squares dudes and J Carberry of Cheap Thrill will be playing records all night long! Details here.

Also thanks to everyone who bought records and shit from us last night in Dublin at the Dum Dum Girls show. We appreciate it so much!We had fun.

Norman says we're Hot Shit

Norman Records put us in the hottest shit category for this week which can only be a good thing. Read what they said about us here. I guess it's cool being compared to bands you've never heard of before!

So now we've finally got some records in our possession (thanks Captured Tracks!) we're putting a last minute release party together which is to be held in The Menagerie next Thursday evening(20th May). So far confirmed are Not Squares and Cheap Thrill DJs with more to be announced in the next few days! Spread the word and come down to buy some records so we can afford to go to England next weekend...

Tuneyards and Gillespie Tonight

We are playing with Tuneyards(USA/Drag City, 4AD) tonight at the speakeasy in Queen's Union infront of what may turn out to be a load of indifferent, drunken students but we are looking forward to the challenge. Intrigued to hear what Tuneyards sound like and don't understand why they aren't headlining, this is Belfast though, and things are done differently here... Oh and it's a free gig.

Afterwards i'd recommend hot footing it across to the Menagerie for the first installment of David Holme's new clubnight, The Bad Books featuring a DJ set from Bobby Gillespie, who at one time may have had the best hair ever.
