Hello everyone,

First of all, we're playing at Night & Day in Manchester this Saturday. Liam Frost is also there and we're celebrating Night & Day being 18 years old! It means a lot to us to play this gig, Night & Day played a big part in our early days as a band so it will be really good to be back there and should be a top night. Hope lots of you can make it down.

We're also very excited to announce that we'll be playing in Paris at La Maroquinerie for Les Inrockuptibles on December 17th. This is our first time playing in Paris so we can't wait.

In other news, we're about to release some awesome remixes from Open Hearts, there's some seriously good ones, one in particular by Toro Y Moi has already featured on Pitchfork's Forkcast, so make sure you check them out. We'll give you more details on how to get hold of them soon.

And on to next year... we'll be announcing some more European dates, we'll be releasing some new material, and quite possibly a new album so make sure you stay tuned, and if you feel inclined, get in touch.

Oh yeah, also check out the brand new Twitter page thing, The Longcut are now almost full integrated into 2009, just in time for 2010. :-)

Have agood one and hope to see you soon.

Love from The Longcut
