Friends, Romans, Countrytigers.
I thought I should probably explain our apparent complete disappearance from shows and life in general. We’re taking a few months off to record our first album. Bass and drums are done and dusted, recorded at Newmarket Studios and sounding very swish. We’re now in the overdubs and tinkering process that will hopefully finish up in a month or so, aiming for a mid-year launch.
We’re playing very few shows during this period. We have a party gig this Saturday 2nd at The Fox Hotel, which is more of a get together to wish drummer Paul and his girlfriend Rani the best on their impending departure to the Northland. The lineup is mostly bands he’s played in, along with some friends’ bands. He’ll be hitting the skins with said bands he’s played in for one last time, and it should be a pretty loose and riotous evening. We’re sans-Tim our bass player for the evening, so we have Gabe from Plastic Palace Alice filling in on electric. Anything could happen. Probably good things I imagine.
Approximate lineup is
5:00 - The Nymphs
5:45 - Dylan Young
6:30 - The Tiger and Me
7:15 - Nicola Watson
8:00 - Tobias Cummings: Band
8:45 - Brendan Welch + Band
We also have a gig on May 29 as part of Friday Night Fire. Hundred Fire Management is booking the last Friday of every month at The Edinburgh Castle, and we’re up in May with Cilla Jane and Fee Brown and The Highwater. Hundred Fire was responsible in part for the huge success that was The Phoenix Bushfire gigs so these evenings should be very good.
Okay that is all for now,
Goodnight, and good luck.
