Quietus Article

Our good mates Finders Keepers lost 90% of their stock in the PIAS fire. They’re not a huge company and work on narrow margins and this is seriously bad news for the owners. All our feelings are with them.

The Besnard Lakes are… good eggs

We just did a few dates with possibly the nicest band in the world, The Besnard Lakes. Needless to say it was a lot of fun and we already miss them. Hello to everyone we met on our way round too, especially those kind souls who put us up, made us food, bought us drinks, made nice comments, bought records and made us feel generally welcome.

This song stuck with us the whole time and since:

Also, we’ve just heard from the guys that are organising the Dungen gig at the Luminaire that it is selling really fast so if you’re planning on going please buy tickets in advance:

DUNGEN!

Not only are they coming to the UK after what seems like an eternity, but we’re absolutely over the moon to be supporting them…
