Over the weekend we played a couple of shows in France, one in Metz and one in Hazebrouck. A big thanks to the promoters, the people who came to the shows, Fall Of Messiah, Theme of Laura, No Metal In This Battle, Lifeless Hope, the people who said nice things to us and bought a record and the people that made the food. We had a fantastic time and look forward to going back out to Europe next week! I've made my notes so hopefully I'll have it written up for the tour diary page by the end of the week.
We are off this weekend to play a couple of shows in Metz and Hazebrouck in the North of France. This was suppose to be the beginning of a two week tour but is now the first of two short stints across the English Channel. Once again I'll keep a diary of events and post them on our tour diary blog sometime in the near future.
We have had another tour date cancelled. That makes it six cancelled shows in total. It's become a bit silly and it's not even likely now that we'll have the happy ending in Japan like in Spinal Tap.
On a brighter note, the tour diary is up to date as I've added the February tour with Solomon Grundy to it. Have a read here
Today we are heading to Gareth's bedroom to put the finishing touches to two more new songs that we've been writing. These two have taken a while so it will be nice to have them finished and ready for a proper rehearsal room and eventually integrated into the set.
At our last show at Scar Studios Fear of DIY recorded our set for a video project they are doing to document their favourite bands (and us). Below is the audio track for Across The River And Into The Trees.
Tour news... We had a few shows cancelled (five altogether) so we have had to have a little shuffle about. Now we will be heading out for a weekend then coming home for a few days and heading back out for the rest of it. We have added a show in Kingston for the Sunday [the day after the Paris show].
