So, after what was effectively a very rare "Summer Break" from gigging (Adam was exploring New Zealand), we got back on stage last Friday night in Dungannon......not a show that will go down as a classic, but was good to shake off some of the rust!

We return to Manor Park Studios this Wed/Thurs/Fri to start laying sown tracks for the final 4 songs for Pay*ola album number 2 - which we hope to release soon. We had 7 or 8 tunes rehearsed to studio standard, and ended up taking a vote on which 4 to go for - the tracks which won through are Blindside, O Girl!, The Battle and Hallelujiah Town (though hopefully the other 3 will still make an appearance at some stage!). Can't wait to work with our long term producer Neal Calderwood again, and to get these songs out into the big bad world.....there's a good mix there from full on pounding hard rock, to melodic power-pop, to a more rootsy feel.

Obviously we intend to tour loads to promote the album, but in the meantime we'll still be playing some select shows, 'caise basically not gigging stinks! We're back in Scotland on Sunday 30th August for the Rock The Rovers festival in Kirkcaldy (we played last year and were immediately invited back - fair play to 'em!), play a big Belfast show on Fri 18th September in the Spring & Airbrake as guests to tribute AC?DC, and play our first ever shows in France in late September...something we're very excited about.

Keep checking back for more dates to be added, and we'll get the new music up here when it sounds as rocking as we can make it. See y'all soon! - Phil
