Hello everyone. Thought I'd like to say a few things about our recent
shows, album and what we're up to. Firstly, it's been a very busy and
very enjoyable time. The last couple of weeks, since the shows around
Europe, have been spent making soundtracks for two films by Claire
Denis, which are going well. But that's all I can say about that for
now.
It's very nice to feel such a positive response to The Hungry Saw.
The live shows were even more fun than making the record. Everyone
together on stage, playing and singing, doing their bit, and a bit
more. And hopefully the good time was felt by all of you who made it
to the shows. Those who didn't, maybe we'll see you soon.
It took us a long time to get there, and a lot of changes had to be
made. But we we're there, and that wouldn't have happened without a
shake up.
It was also great to meet some new people who played before us.
Murder were very nice and beautiful in Copenhagen and Berlin, and so
were Sara and Gaz (Sara Lowes ) for the other shows. We especially
felt for Sara, all alone on stage in Paris. Perhaps we should have
picked up a tambourine or two and joined in.
Looking forward to a busy summer. Looks like everyone's going to make
the festivals, so it'll be the 12 of us on stage for most of them.
And then we'll be playing smaller shows in the autumn, with a smaller
group of people. But that's all still just an idea at the moment.
Thanks to everyone that played and everyone that came to see us. See
you out and about again soon.
Love to the lost and found.
