Oi Oi... how's it going peeps!?
Just thought I'd drop in and let you know what we've been up to since we got back from USA...
Well... it's a long story.
After parting company with Raj, Mark and Bryce at the end of the USA tour, we spent another 10 days in Gotham. Just Grant and I - hanging with friends, going to gigs, soaking up the NYC vibe... I didn't want to come home. Living in the Chelsea area there's always sooo much going on, and all of Manhattan is at your disposal... right there - at your finger tips! Just a short cab ride, or subway ride away... I miss NYC sooo much right now. It's one of the few places I have been that I've actually felt homesick for when I left.... fact! I want to go there to live and write songs for our next album - even if it's just for 10 months. I think it'd be amaaaaaaazin'! It's arguably the most exciting city in the world ffs! We saw The Datsuns at Mercury and the Mighty Boosh at the Bowery. Fantastic!
Two and a half weeks after our return, we both got the dreaded N1H1 virus... yes... Swine Flu... nasty nasty nasty... I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy! Dreadful. It left us feeling soooo weak afterwards too. It really knocks the stuffin' out you!
Unfortunately we had to cancel a couple of gigs.
Videos of our gigs in USA are currently being edited, post-processed and will be up on our YOUTUBE channel very very soon.... so, if you haven't subscribed yet - please do..... you NEED a "LittleBuddhification" in your life....
When in USA, I wrote a lot. Lyrics, journals and mindmaps... since our recovery from swine flu, Grant and I have shaped them into fully-fledged songs and they are a wild departure from what you may have grown to know and love until now... nothing like a little trans-Atlantic inspiration.
Grant and I have some wicked little gigs coming up over the next few months. We hope to see you there... Yes. We will be gigging just the two of us. We are enjoying this little musical deviation and it has been very VERY well received so far.
So - if you want to sample something new and delicious... something fast, energetic and totally NOW - then NOW is the time... Become 'Accidental Tourists' with us.... move at break neck speed with the adrenalin fuelled 'eMotion Sickness' and come 'Time Travelling' with us...
You know you want to... watch THIS SPACE for gigs....
On a more long term note, meetings with L.A. industry moguls went PERFECTLY - so expect BIG news there in due course....
European Tour postponed til spring.... [contingent upon SXSW application....!?]
YES -it's all happening...
Love you all
Kat
