Firstly on a non Dacoitsian note; if anyone can explain to me why the gang of victims in that Harpers Island TV program didn’t seize any of the ten thousand opportunities they had to shoot the serial killer then I’d be one happy bunny.  And when those two dudes sprang the cunning trap and actually managed to pull the trigger on the side of said serial killers head then why did he only have a small graze?  Did anyone else actually watch Harpers Island?   Don’t watch TV, it’s a frustrating pursuit.

Anyways, on a more relevant and fulfilling note, excitement is in the air at Team Dacoits as the album is actually finished.  All done, pencils down and face the front quietly.  Admittedly, certain Dacoits seem to have lost more of their already slipping grasp on reality due to mixing desk confinement, but it’s all been worthwhile in the long run.  So here’s some fascinating Dacoits debut album facts that are still subject to change and are thusly fairly useless:  It has 11 tracks, clocks in around 40 minutes, has some tasty looking artwork and will be stuffed to the gills with 1000% RDA of satisfying and nutritious rock action.  I don’t know the details like how much it will cost to buy a copy and whether we’ll make our self imposed deadline of November the 5th, but we’ll leak these facts to the press accordingly over the next few weeks in thinly veiled attempt at contemporary hype building.

More news very soon....

Good Afternoon,

Why are Mondays such hard work? I was just about to go for a wander and I swear it actually started raining on cue.  Although that three day bank holiday weekend thing that just flew past seemed popular, I think we definitely need some more of those on the calendar.  A few times a year just doesn't seem quite enough.  I don't think it would do the Government's tattered reputation much harm to make these things a more regular occurrence either.  Win/Win.

In other news: We're still all huddled around a hot mixing desk tweaking and adding dramatic noises to what will soon become TODA.  We're not actually calling it TODA, as that's a silly name, but it's a cheap and effective way of making you go back and read my previous updates to find out what I'm on about.
 
To be honest it's probably mildly unfair to say 'we' when it's actually Carrie and Pete doing the majority of the huddling around the faders, but we're helping when we can.  All I can say is that it's all shaping up to be a quenching musical smoothy for thirsty ears.

Thanks to everyone who has come out to see us over the last month or two, these recent shows have been amazing fun so big shout outs to everyone who has come along and sung, danced, or given us free beer.

There'll be few more shows coming up once we're done with the mixing and we should have some new tunes ready to introduce to the world, so we'll hopefully see you again then. 

So that's it for now really: album, gigs, new songs and a distinct lack of sarcasm on my part. 

Much love,

Phil
