Once again I have to start with an apology for keeping this blog dusty- Since the last time I wrote here we toured, recorded a live album (which you can see below) and mostly have just wrote new songs. The skeleton for our second record is forming slowly but surely. We have booked our studio for late summer and we’ll see how that goes. I’m going to try and keep this regular, I swear. Keep an eye out for our new web shop which will  be online at the end of the week (we’ll have very limited amounts of the live album). Be Good.

‘Darling, you’ll meet your maker’ (live)

Well it has been a wee while hasn’t it? Lots of wonderful things have happened since I mumbled here last- most recently we played The Cork Opera house with Amiina and it was one of the best nights of our career (if you can call it that). We have a short run of dates coming up (see tour page) ending with a date in a church. After that we launch into album number two- scary starting afresh but the ideas have started coming once more. More soon….
