We’ve been living in London now for the past three weeks, working hard on our second album. We have been filming bits and pieces along the way. So far it’s been going really well and we are quite excited about it.

Below is the first of the series of videos:

Enjoyyyy!

We had such an amazing time in the US touring around with Matt Pless and playing Plan-It-X Fest! Thank you so much to all you lovely people who came out to the shows and made our time there so wonderful!

We will most definitely be back in the future, but for now, we are getting stuck into song writing!

We just finished two weeks of touring around Ireland with Adebisi Shank & O Emperor on the FMC tour. We had so much fun and will miss not playing with the guys every night. We really recommend both Adebisi Shank: http://adebisishank.bandcamp.com/ & O Emperor: http://www.oemperor.com/

We also played Temple House Festival in Sligo last Sunday, which was a lot of fun!

We’re heading off to the US on Sunday for two weeks & while over there we’ll be playing a few shows here and there in NY, PA, OH, & IN. You can check out the dates here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=152900674778334

We’re planning to continue working on our second album when we get back from the US. We’ll keep you updated on how things are going!

Hope everyone is enjoying the Summer.

Last Wednesday, while in London, we also did a session for The Fly magazine. We performed  ‘Slices of Palama’, along with a new song ‘Waiter’ in The Courtyard for FlyTV. You can see the footage of this session below at The Fly website:

We traveled over to London last Wednesday for an interview with Steve Lamacq on BBC6, where he introduced us as his latest New Favourite Band. Steve was such a nice guy, and we had a lot of fun doing the interview. This was our first time in the BBC studios, so were pretty excited.

We were in Scotland last Thursday and Friday for the first time. We supported Justin Currie in Perth at the Perth Theatre on Thursday night. We then played at Celtic Connections Festival in Glasgow on Friday night, again with Justin Currie, in the o2, Glasgow. We had such a great time at both these shows.

We traveled on propeller airplanes,  stayed in ‘haunted hotels’, tasted battered pizza ‘pizza crisp’ and got to see  the amazing Jessie J play, all in two nights. Had such a great time!

We traveled over to Groningen, Holland to play at Eurosonic festival on January 13^th. We played at The Grand Theatre that night with a full band, which was recorded by numerous European radio stations for future broadcast.The Grand Theatre is a really beautiful venue and every single person we met over in Groningen was so friendly and nice.

While in Groningen we did interviews and sessions with Dutch national radio, Danish national radio, and some Dutch music sites such as Face Culture and 3 Voor 12.

You can watch the some of the footage from our interview with Face culture below.
