It’s a cool, cool summer…
Thursday, July 23rd, 2009
Hello Summer is well and truly here, give or take the odd shower, and we’re so near to finishing recording our second album that we’ve decided to give ourselves a mini break, see some daylight and play some live dates over the coming month or so. First up, we were thrilled to be invited to play in Brighton (any excuse), by the lovely Rebecca Stephens (ex-Pipette and Polka-dotted Riot Grrrl, now working on exciting new stuff herself). It’s her own club called TIME CRISIS and it’s at THE HOPE on Queens Rd THIS SATURDAY, 25th July. http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/event.php?eid=90243683526&ref=mf The following day, SUNDAY 26TH JULY (call it a micro-tour if you will), we’re heading up to the beautiful Derby countryside to make our INDIETRACKS FESTIVAL debut, performing alongside the likes of Art Brut, Camera Obscura, Teenage Fanclub and Au Revoir Simone. Celebrating 20 years of releasing glorious Indie-Pop, the very wonderful Elefant Records have taken over the main stage for the entire weekend, and we’re very proud to be part of it. You can find all the info here: http://www.indietracks.co.uk/ We also have some very exciting news to announce. Ahem… Drum roll… We’re joining forces with our dear old friends, The Pipettes and starting our very own club night. It’s called TECHNICOLOUR and is set out to celebrate all things POP! Of course both bands will be playing live, and showcasing new material for both upcoming albums, but we’ll also have some very special guests in to DJ, along with our hand-picked favourite live bands in support. It’s all happening at THE LEXINGTON in London with the first two confirmed nights as the TUESDAY 11th and TUESDAY 25th AUGUST.

Have a look at the rest of the line up here: http://www.last.fm/event/1059617 And ticket details here: http://www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb_south&query=detail&event=324280 We were delighted to be asked to play with The Weddos once more, having toured with them in 2007 and oh, guess who else is performing on the very same stage? Oh yes, The Pipettes… my, my, people will talk. Hope to see you at one or two, if not all of the above. Come and say hello. We need human contact after all this studio solitude. Lots of love from Lucky Soul
