We recently did an interview for Liverpool’s BBC Radio Merseyside which included an acousic performance of a couple of tracks from the new E.P.
We’ve just put up some video footage on our Media Page from the session which features a cut down version of the Pleasure Principle and me playing a cut down version of Silent Film …

The last seven days have been a blur… after spending most of Monday in the US Embassy in London going through the visa mill for SXSW, we then headed across town to Soho for our HMV Next Big Thing gig at The Borderline (see photos in our Live Gallery on the Media Page). The gig was a sellout and it was great to share the stage with The Plasticines….
We were back in London (ish) on Thursday night when we supported Eliza Doolittle at Buckinghamshire Students Uni. Got back after 3am for the second time in a few days… only this time we had to be in the studio in Liverpool for 9am next morning to record some new tracks. You can see just how knackered we were on the video we’ve just put up on our Media Page!
Whilst all this has been going on we’ve been offered two more SXSW official showcase gigs.. so it looks like we’re in for a busy 10 days in Austin.

Polly and the band have received an invitation to perform at the SXSW Delegate Welcome Dinner at the Four Seasons Hotel on the opening night of SXSW 2010. They will be doing an acoustic set which will be the first performance of SXSW 2010 to an audience of over 250 music executives from around the world…. see Polly’s blog for more SXSW news.

We have been really busy this week firming up our gig schedule for SXSW in Texas next month and were stunned when we received a request to perform at the SXSW Delegate Welcome Dinner at the Four Seasons Hotel on the opening night of the Festival. We will be doing an acoustic set which will be the first performance of SXSW 2010 to an audience of over 120 music executives from around the world…. no pressure then!
We are also honoured to be representing Wales at the British Music Embassy Welsh Party at Latitude 30 on the second day of the festival…. watch this space for further SXSW announcements over the next week or so.
We head off to London this afternoon to prepare for our appearance tomorrow night at the HMV Next Big Thing Festival. We share the bill with The Plasticines and Daisy Dares You and ticket sales have gone through the roof… so if you are thinking of coming down, we suggest you order your ticket in advance ‘cos it could be a sellout!
Hope to see you there!
