Hello Hello…..
I hope all is well in what ever world, space or frame of
mind you live in.
Thought I’d do a blog…
We recently returned from a 1 gig jaunt to ....Switzerland....
which was a fun fuelled trip. We played the Festival De La Cite in Lausassane
which was very nice indeed. We have visited ....Lausanne....
before and it’s a truly wonderful place. The show was the biggest crowd we have
performed in front of – Around 4000 we were told. Not a bad way for James to
celebrate reaching 30 years on planet earth huh? !!

It’s great that we are supporting Archive on their European tour.
It’s been a while since Archive have toured and for me its going to be really
special and a lot of hard work of which I will thrive off. I am very fortunate
to get this opportunity and can’t wait for this tour. I think from a spectator’s
point of view musically I would love to be watching a night of music like what
the fans will see on most nights of this tour. Be gone with the mundane run of
bullshit that hangs over us on a daily basis and lets crank the fuzz and open our
hearts and minds and let it out !!
check tour dates on all BirdPen websites
....In other news we enter the Dairy studio next Tuesday to mix
the edits for the Off Single. Bird and I have re-worked a version for radio
which we are very happy with. It’s more electro than before and obviously
shorter but it really kicks…
It shall be up on the myspace as soon as it’s ready..
Also we have some cool new t-shirts being printed which we
like very much indeed
Antennas all the way for these ones and if you were to see a
few folks wearing them at the same time they would look like an army of some
sort. All dressed in black with birds on antennas across their chests…Very cool.

We will be entering a new rehearsal space in a few weeks
time to rehearse new material for the tour and the 2nd BP album. We
owe massive thanks to close friend Vinny and his band The Mopes who have kindly
let us use their space whilst they go travelling for a month. Check out their
blues country psychedelic music here
