(1) today is our single release and its completely free of charge just: -a- CLICK HERE or -b- You can just hover your mouse over the image below and see what happens...?
(2) Yesterday we played the Oxjam festival in Leeds! It was a funny gig. Responses were good - and for that we're soo thankful - but from our end, it wasn't as good as we could've made it. STILL, we played hard, made some friends, got lost in the leeds one-way system and built lego toys... I say well done!

We've been lucky enough to get through to some folk on the radio. John Kennedy played us, the lurvley people at Glasgow Podcart have played us, Tequila Radio in Cardiff and also some radio station in Spain...?! FTW (which i've been told means 'For The Win'...). We also recently did a session for Diesel:U:Music and it was all a bit manic. If it wasn't for a few nice people working there it could've been a massive disaster. In fact... you can see for yourselves (personally, i think the guitar could be a bit louder..?)-
We've got an acoustic session planned for the 405 which we're currently working on so good good good... BUT, the Universe is all about balance and we have to have some bad bad: It seems that we've had to drop our date at Puregroove for our album launch :( Our Newcastle gig got cancelled due to another band pulling out :(
I know we're in the process of sorting out another date up there. Angus (the promoter in Newcastle) has been really good about everything and has made an effort on our behalf so cheers fella, we will repay you handsomely!
We don't know what we're going to do for the Album Launch party but right now its all about Radar. Come this monday (26-OCT/2009) it'll be FREE to download with a B-Side from the website. The video has been really well received and has hopefully found its way to you.
And finally... we played the Oxjam in Cardiff on 11-OCT/2009 at 'Clwb Ifor Bach'. Everyone there was really friendly and made us feel right at home. No stress, no worries! Thanks to Liz, Joe, Sara, Al and his mates, Hugh & Russ!
This video could no have been done without the following:
James T, David G, Aaron G, Arun S, Aaron M, Alex R, Alexandra P, Alice & Ashley B, Ben S, Beth D, Dave B, Davey H, Diana S, Emily W, Iona R, Joanna R, Kerrie M, Lisa M, Michael K, Paula M, Sarika S, Thom H, and finally Rich @ the Grey Horse.
Thank you to all who came out to the gig. With the help of you guys, Josh managed to raise close to £2000 for Cancer Research. I say well done. The night was immense and the bands were brilliant. The 'one-night-only' reformation of They Died Too Young was the icing on the cake. After not having played for over a year together, it was like they had never left. Still miss them sorely.

I wasn't expecting to see folk down, but to those that came, I'm so glad you did.
Never drive out on a match night! It was a tough gig to get to, and a little nervous through sound-check, but when it came to playing, i think we've got lady luck watching over us. Everything came together and we really had some fun - In no small part to the awesome guys at the 405 -->CLICK ME<--
