YO! well... its been a while... we dont have much to report really, the theatre gig went well, even though we were pretty dam nervous. The Heart Felt Ep is coming out mid this month so we'll have some news then.
In other news were still pretty bad at the quiz we go to every tuesday at the nation of shop keepers. if any one wants to join our team your welcome cos we need more people ahah.
Nothing much has changed really. Abi's going to uni now so we dont have as much time to practice or play, oh yeah we are stopping gigging until we get some more gigs as a full band! because we say so! because we can do that!
Sorry for the slow news!! xx

Putting the feeling in heartfelt.
As you may know we have been residing in Rob Slater's bedroom studio for many days recording the tracks that are going to be featured on the Heartfelt E.P alongside IMP. This is Robert Slater:
This is also Robert Slater:
The tracks are sounding really great so far! It's always hilarious and fun recording with rob and you usually produce something pretty special out of the songs you go there to record. Rob and i finished all our parts yesterday and now i'm completely wiped out. I suppose 3 hours sleeps and too much red wine the night before didn't help to keep my energy. We ate fish and chips and they were yummy so that boosted up the spirit to get going. Slater kicking my arse on tekken, did not. HOW CAN HE BEAT ME I THOUGHT I WAS THE QUEEN OF TEKKEN.
We have a busy Jeremiah week next week as we have 3 performances to do!
1 - We are doing an acoustic show at the theatre in the bar for their launch. This will include dressing classy, performing for an hour, in front of fat cats and arty associates and the like. EXCITED! (this is on the 17th and is an invite event only but im going to film it so you can see whether we made any faux pas (ha ha) haha?)
2- Next up is a FREE show at Carpe Diem in Leeds on the 18th in which we hope you all can make! Again it will be acoustic but we're going to try and put some little extras in their.
3- End of the mini tour - Yep that's right, i'm classing it as a mini tour - is at Escobar as an acoustic set again (maybe the rest of our band hate us) with Tiny Planets of which Rob Slater drums for and he drums for Jeremiah when we're a big band so we don't wanna tire that machine out! That's why we're acoustic. Wonderswan and Imp are also playing i do believe! So be sure to come down to that if you couldnt come to the other shows or you enjoy stalking us.
NEWSFLASH!
And if you all you eager Jeremiah fans out there (tumble weed enters and floats by) can't wait that long we have a show THIS SUNDAY which is TOMORROW 13TH SEPTEMBER! We are the opening slot for our good friends The Spills. It's the celebratory gig of their single launch. We will be playing acoustic as Slater is the leading man for The Spills. Man he must be sick of seeing us by now!
Okay we'll leave you alone now. But we shall leave you with this:

Heart Felt Recording
Hiya! I went to Slaters (Irene Cottege Studios) yesterday to record the bass and drums for our half of the split Ep we are doing with IMP entitled 'Heart Felt Ep'. It sounds really good so far. Slater has done the drums which makes the songs 10x better anyway haha. The songs we are doing are... 'I'd Rarther be Here' and a new song which no one has heard, not even us because we havnt finished it. It has a working title of 'I Was Your Knot' but that may change before the Ep is out.
But yeah thats it really, nothing much else has happened.
Oh yeah me and Abi and also Matty Smith and Beth Chesworth went to a music quiz in leeds on Tuesday. Our team was called 'Shut up Simon' on account of us hearing someone telling someone called Simon to shut up. We didnt do too bad, 20/40. avarage? Well we are going next week to try our luck again so we'll tell you what happens

this has made me happy
So it's pretty self indulgent to post things im only excited about but i'm going to do it anyway.
I am so excited for the album and i loved this video. It cheered me up a hell of a lot.
In other news:
rob is now back from leeds festival, with all his limbs remaining. So we're going to be Jeremiahing up everything this next couple of weeks. We're recording at our good friend, rob slater's house soon for the two tracks we're submitting for a split ep with IMP. We're really excited about that. The ep is going to be entitled 'Heartfelt'. That's all we really know right now. It will have a track from us no one has heard yet. Hell we havent heard it all yet because we haven't finished writing it but hopefully it will form smoothly.
A blog about free singles we're giving out will be here soon.
SWEET DREAMS EVERYONE.

missing out.
Robs at leeds festival and he saw Metric today. im jealous but i won't give him the satisfaction of knowing that. I'm kinda glad im not a leeds fest this year but i would have loved to have seen Metric. I'm drawing a poster at the moment for our gig at carpe diem. I have no idea who else is playing and it doesn't say on the promoters website so i guess im just going to have to put our name on it. I don't think that would drive people to come. I'm excited for the gig. it's on the 18th september but it's without the extended family and will just be rob and i doing an acoustic set but i think we're going to plan some extras in it somewhere. If you're reading this come to the show its FREE on the 18th September at carpe diem in leeds. We might do some drawings and leave them on the stage if anyone wants to take one home. Or we might put them inside the singles we're giving out for FREE also. I'll do another blog about that with the details.
The day before that gig we are performing and providing music for the theatre launch event in the bar. I'm looking forward to that, as it's a different kind of performing/gig format. im going to take my camera and try and film it so we can post it for your to fix your goggles on. This might help as it's a private invite event i think.
I got caught in the rain today in just jeans and tshirt and the rain water was absolutely freezing and i starting getting this chesty cough and felt generally naff so i had to go home. This means i had to miss a free all dayer gig that my friend put on - Including some local favourites and Jeffrey Lewis. So i ate spicy noodles wrapped in my dressing gown listening to the rain. fun.
