Holla!
Thanks to everyone who's been down to our last few gigs, it's been lots of fun! We have a couple of gigs lined up now, one at the end of this month in Chorlton with our friends Go Lebanon, we'll be playing a set chock full of new goodies. We're also playing at this years Sonic Sunday all-dayer at Satan's Hollow. We've played on the line up a few times so it should be as fun as it usually is! Bring your friends and we'll build a party (then molest a tent).
In September/October we'll begin recording some new stuff. We have a pretty varied EP in the works, some of the heaviest stuff we've ever written alongside some of the shortest, poppiest stuff too. We're pretty excited about recording again and we can't wait to get something new out!
Anyway, that's all. Take care folks.xxxxxx
Stay sexy.
Our records!
SECRET WHALE ep. Four tracks of nice, melodic post-rocky indie. Sadly we have no copies left. Maybe we'll have some in the future? But maybe not.
WIDOWS lp. Five tracks of darker, heavier post rock. Written over the course of a year that included fires, deaths, evictions and thefts, as well as making new friends, travelling the country in the back of a smelly van with no windows and various other events that have slipped from the memory banks. Now available from many online resources, such as:Roadkill Records and Piccadilly Records along with these online retailers:

hmv.co.uk
play.com
amazon.com
boomkat.com
Or you can buy it from us at gigs for £6.

Shitten The Kitten has been eaten by Widows The Spider.
She was very hungry and has a terrible habit of devouring all things furry and cute. So be nice to her or she might gobble you up too!
