Hello,
Time for a quick update as to what's happening with vacuous pop....
RELEASES
Work continues on the long awaited releases from Cutting Pink With Knives / 10LEC6 and Load.Click.Shoot! with artwork and mastering currently all being sorted out ready for imminent release.
LOAD. CLICK. SHOOT! debut 7" EP
-----||-----
CUTTING PINK WITH KNIVES & 10LEC6 split 7"
Plans for the Alphabet Backwards release(s) are also being finalised, the only problem is that James is so prolific he keeps coming up with new stuff but I think we have a plan to take forward now! Good to see his talent being recognised by many more promoters now too hence the live shows keep coming.

GIGS
I've just updated the gigs list so it's now up to date with all the latest shows for Cutting Pink With Knives, Load.Click.Shoot! and Alphabet Backwards so check them out!
LIVE PROMOTIONS
Don't forget we also put gigs on in Oxford, good gigs too although admittedly a lot less so than before - probably due to the credit crunch or something - but rest assured those that we do bother with are definitely worth it! Although saying that, after the next one it's now likely that we'll be taking a nice long break until much later in the year!
You've already missed the likes of Efterklang, EX MODELS and Enon this year and coming up this weekend we have the return of two of our favourites from last year, Munch Munch and Lonely Ghosts playing at The Cellar with further bands (and DJs) to be announced.
see more info at http://www. myspace. com/vacuouspop regarding all the gig promotions you missed and those that are coming up.
TRUCK FESTIVAL
Don't forget that we're also teaming up with our friends Abort, Retry, Fail? to host two stages at this year's Truck Festival on Saturday 19th July, to be held as ever at Hill Farm, Steventon, Oxfordshire.
The Barn will be home to the vacuous pop stage with live music running from 12pm - 9pm, before we head across site to take over the Market Tent and host the ARF? club night from 10pm - 2.
30am with live bands til midnight and DJs after providing the trademark "music to make your ears smile and your feet bleed".
It's been a long time coming but we've now got our line ups for both stages finalised and Truck should be confirming full details for the festival very shortly.
Unfortunately for a number of reasons we had to lose many bands from our original wish list and couldn't fit in a number of bands we'd like to have done.
However, I think we've still pulled together a very decent line up and there should be some familiar names and in the grand tradition of Truck, a few new names for you to discover too!
If you didn't already know, The Lemonheads are the main headliner for the weekend with the likes of Okkervil River, Laura Marling, Noah & The Whale, Emmy The Great, Maps, Ulrich Schnauss, Get Cape, Danny and the Champions of the World and many more also playing.

OK, that's about it for now but keep an eye out for further updates!
cheers
Ady
