Greetings all,

I have not posted a blog for ages & the autumn mists are rolling in...

well whats up?

Our tour of Spain & France was quite a success and we humbly thank everyone who came out and danced and drunk with us. Especially the Black Milk crew in Renne and all those intense poetic girls who treated us so kindly - Im sure you know who you are.

Also cheers to our new Spanish friends especially Tanya in A Coruna - thanks for nursing my spirit and holding my hand. And the Pamplona crew and of course El Beasto for all and all. Juan thanks for stealing Cliffs beer & Gorka it was a real delight to meet you finally. Anyway...

We will be heading back in November/December for a longer one - especially we will move through France a bit more extensively and enter into Germany & Holland.

While in Gijon we recorded a couple of songs - a BPX version of Running Dry & an organ heavy version of Ropemakers Daughter - we will be launching it at The Tote at the end of May.

We will then be out of action for a couple of months as we finally finish the difficult second album (tentatively entitled HOME)...this record is 95% done - just a few tweeks & Mr Ron Penot will be singing on a song (I am so excited about that) and art work etc etc then we are done.

Our next gig after single launch will be at the BANG! festival in August - I am organising all that right now and its gonna be huge so keep yr ears posted for updates.

In other news our very own Lilith Lane is launching her excellent solo album on May 10th @ The Empress - its an arvo show and starts about 4 o clock.

I have started a side project called Monty Sparrow - we are playing a mix of my solo stuff and some wall of sound improvised stuff and a few covers, people like Hank Williams & LOW & Nathan Hollywood and stuff. Check out the MySpace - it should have songs up soon ish. Also we are playing all over town so come have a shandy why don't you?

Also as of May 8th I will be joining Andrew McCubbin & The Hope Addicts on guitar so thats exciting - his MySpace is on our friends list for the uninitiated so have a listen.

What else?

I am still trying to memorise Shakespeare monologues and am thinking about learning interprative dance - its been on my mind ever since some reviewer compared my dancing style to that crazy guy from Joy Division. Respect.


Justin
