Hello!
I hope everyone’s enjoying the sunshine? Unfortunately it has turned our practise room into a sauna, but luckily we won’t be in there for a few weeks!
We’re heading down to London on Monday for the week to record our first single ‘Higher’ which will be release mid-October. Producing the single will be the highly-esteemed Robert Harder. Having worked with the likes of Brian Eno, David Byrne, Babyshambles, Language and The Slits, we’re pretty excited to see what’ll come out at the end.
We’ll be going straight from the studio to Wakestock and enjoying a sunny (hopefully) weekend and celebrating my (Polly) 19th birthday when the clock strikes midnight on the Sunday after we’ve played!
Our tour kicks off in September and will finish mid-October when the single will be released. Will let you know when and where we shall be playing later on in the summer!

Enjoy.

…we’re currently in the middle of working on some new material as well as shaping up some old dusty songs which have been kept under the bed over the past year or so.
Our next gig is at MOJO in Liverpool on the first of July before heading to Abersoch for the weekend to play at Wakestock Festival. We’ll be on the mainstage of the Sunday evening before Los Campesinos, Band Of Skulls, Futureheads and Ting Tings. There’s still a few tickets left and the line-up is pretty cool: www.wakestock.co.uk
