Hello friends
We've been very busy of late and have a selection of news for you.
Firstly, we have a new EP.
It will be in stores and on itunes by October 11. It's called 'When The Ship Goes Down' and contains songs about war, politics and science (in very specific social and emotional situations). There are a few tracks from it on our page now if you want to check it out.....
Secondly, we'll probably be playing a show somewhere near where you live in the next month... We have started the 'Immaculate Confection Tour', it's a double-header style affair with our friends Yves Klein Blue from Brisbane, whereby we will divide the headlining duties and most probably blow your mind on any given night with our collaborative skills.
If this sounds like your kind of thing check out the dates above and buy your tickets!
And lastly,
If you're still reading this far down the page, we would like to thank all the lovely people we met at Little Red shows this past month for your support and money.
We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
There will be even more news soon so hang about, but in the meantime you can read our blog...
