The Machines

The Machines would love to thank everyone who came to see us on all the summer dates, starting back in June at The Cavendish Arms in London. It's been a real blast meeting you all and playing our songs - thanks so much for the inspiration and making it worthwhile! We've really enjoyed meeting all the bands we've played with, meeting such cool people everywhere and we've had some great experiences, from Windsor, The Bridgehouse, Chinnerys and beyond, to our outstanding experience at Rebellion which was overwhelming - such a brilliant time!
 
We're going through all the footage, photos etc, and will get things online asap.
 
There'll always be the days of love and torment to pierce our souls, but the nights of rock and roll have helped us all reach for the stars...
 
Until the next time and thanks again!
