It's inevitable.  Some people won't want to buy our records when they can get them for free.  In an ideal world, all music would be free and recording artists would be happy to make music for free distribution to the masses.  But this isn't an ideal world.  Recording and releasing records costs money.  And in our case, that money comes straight out of our pockets.  We have to at least recoup that money or we can't continue to record.  It's that simple. 

We try to make our records as cheaply as possible in the stores.  We set the dealer price (the price we sell the record to the distributor at) as low as we possibly can so that the price you buy it for in the store doesn't break the bank.  We just need to cover our costs. 

So, please, if you download or share our music for free, consider buying something by the band too.  Come to our concerts, buy a CD at the concert.  Without this, we can't continue to make music. 

Thank you.

Agreed... support indie music!  The new album is great!  Buy it, don't steal it!

Hi Fazlin.  Unfortunately, t-shirts weren't effective for us the first time we did them.  They were expensive to make (in the UK), heavy to carry on tour, slow to sell and a pain to carry down to the post office!  Still, I'll look into it again.  Maybe there's a more cost-effective option.   Thanks.

Salut Olli. 
France has become increasingly difficult to tour in the past few years.  We want to tour there but it's hard to find a) honest booking agents and b) interested promoters with decent venues for what we do.  Paris is the only viable option for us right now and we're working on a show there hopefully in the next few months. 
The same for Benelux and Germany - we're looking into both.

It will have to be Boston, Lincolnshire (UK) unless Obama relaxes the Visa requirements for touring bands.  The cost, in particular.  ;)

That is major shit... The International Visa requirements definitely took a major blow from Bush after the Sept.11th attacks.

But I will have to run this buy Obama next time we chill and smoke my indian pipe..

Hey Stephen.  The requirements themselves would be no real problem for us, as we don't have criminal records or any dubious religious or political persuasions.  But the cost of Visas is prohibitive, as we'd have enough trouble finding the money for a tour van, hiring a backline, employing a driver, paying for accommodation, buying gas, food, etc, etc.  It's an expensive business!  And US concert fees are on a par with UK ones - ie, pretty bad!  Unless you're a "king size" band.  Which we aren't.  We need a sugar daddy.

I first heard piano magic in about 1998, on a CBC late-night show called BRAVE NEW WAVES. The dj played tracks from Morte aux Vaches and Trick of the Sea, i was... breathtaken. The local music shop in vancouver, Zulu Records, carried some of your cds, including those two... I have since bought everything you've ever put out on Cd; just yesterday i bought Ovations on cd plus the What does not Destroy me 7"(w/Klima) (they had one!) & the Details not recorded cd from Norman records. So there's a supporter here... I've turned dozens of friends on to your music. You're likely my favourite band, and I live nowhere near the UK, but rather on an island off an island off an island off the west coast of Canada. 

Thanks so much!

still waiting for the pre-ordered vinyl... in the meantime I'm listening to a stolen download. I'm not feeling bad to do this as a first impression and buy the records i love afterwards. (And i buy a lot of records i can tell you...much too many) It's a question of respect. think about it, or all the artist you love will disappear. hope to see you in berlin soon.

Hi.  Thank you for pre-ordering the vinyl and sorry for the delay.  There was a minor hitch in production but all being well, it will be in Darla's warehouse by the 16th and ready to ship. 
Berlin would be great.  It's always great.

Free download allowed me to discover your latest magnificient new lbum. Now goodbye to crappy MP3, the album is ordered and on its way to me. Thanks for the wonderful music you make.

Hope you'll play some shows in France; and Paris should definitely not be the only option. Have you considered venues like this one?

Your Latvian friend - thank You All for the three mesmerising gigs in London, and Ovations is one of the most beautiful things (don't wanna call it a thing, though) I've held in my hands. So it's worth it chaps.

Bought Ovations from Darla Records online - didn't even know you had a solo record but there it was on their site- checked out tracks on last fm and immediately added it to the order - Both albums are outstanding - I've been trying to bring them into Barnes & Noble Music Department as a staff recommendation - but so far no luck getting them brought into the store - I'll keep trying though - sold several copies of Disaffected, Part Monster and Dark Horses that way

..In Portugal it's very difficult to have access to your cds, but I will definitely be seeing you live on the 4th of December in Oporto. And I will buy your new album, for sure. It's my most awaited concert since I last saw you at Casa das Artes in Famalicão a few years ago. Fantastic show. All the best...
