wooha...it's been so long since the last blogging that there has been almost too much to cover...hrmmm, well of course that's not going to work is it!
so it turns out that july and august were pretty crazy exciting for us with both the international excitement of the US west coast tour and Slumberland Records putting out our debut LP 'Songs for Tuesdays' on the 14th of july!
we did start this:
http://summercatsrule.blogspot.com/this helps us plonk all the reviews etc so if you're interested in the LP reviews check it out! we were particularly surprised with the reception for the LP and some of the reviews were downright lovely...obviously we're ignoring the not so flattering ones...
the US tour was a blast, despite the fact that julia couldn't come, we had the able armed jeremy bashing the drums for us for the nearly two weeks. it's going to sound wanky but we were the recipients of such unexpected and wonderful hospitality during the period of the tour...we really hope those that were doing this know how much it meant to us.
we played Ventura, LA, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle...trouble is when you write them so closely together it doesn't really give an indication of the amount of driving we did! most of the time the snazzy Tartans were playing with us and we do retrospectively feel we didn't get to drink enough with them...possibly because we couldn't keep up...julia could have handled them but the rest of us are certainly not tough enough.
so below is a little photo bit for some visual excitement...
first thing we did in san fran was organise a no hitter
