Yes indeed, after much hoping and praying, we’ve gotten the nod to play at Electric Picnic. The lineup is looking increasingly more brillianter this year, so I/we are uber-chuffed to be playing! Thanks Jeebus.
So see you down the front for Sigur Ros, Elbow, Grinderman, Goldfrapp, George Clinton and Hayseed Dixie. 
I believe we’re playing about 4pm on the Crosby stage. (Named after that well known all round family entertainer, Bill.) So yes, that’s all on the horizon. Have I mentioned how much we’re looking forward to it…….?
In other gig news, we’re playing the Kilkenny arts festival on Sunday week (10th Aug) in Cleere’s. Last time some of us played in KK (in a different incarnation) was one of the most over the top enthusiastic responses to a gig I’ve ever seen, so let’s hope that happy-juice is still in the water down in the south east and they like our new stuff too…..
We’re heading in to record Blood Branches on Monday. Here’s hoping it turns out as well on vinyl as it is in all of our heads. I’ll be playing a beeyouteefull Steinway grand on it though, so that’s surely a good start!
New songs are also churning away. Blips, fuzz organ and strings all present and correct. Should be airing them in the not too distant future. Also plans are afoot to get us playing a few more gigs around and about the country before the year is out, so more on that shortly…..
In the meantime, have a nice long weekend and don’t forget your brolly…..
