Hello Dear Friends!!

I hope that you are all well and have enjoyed the last few months?

Since our new album WINTERCOAST was released on 1st June, we have been amazed at the response that we've had from it! We've sold nearly 4000 albums, not only in the UK but in Europe, the US, South America, even the Far East and Australia - amazing! The response has been fantastic, the reviews have been coming in thick and fast, and thankfully, 99% of them have been very positive 

We have been given a lot of airplay across different countries and have been featured in Classic Rock magazine, it's sibling publication, Classic Rock Presents Prog, and also Powerplay, as well as lots of online sites and local news press, here in the UK.

This coming Saturday 19th September, we start our mini tour to promote the album. The tour has been nicknamed the "LONDON to LOS ANGELES" tour as we start on Saturday at the HOUSE of PROGRESSION at The Peel, Kingston, Surrey and finish at CalProg in Whittier, just outside LA, on October 10th.

The full gig listing can be found on our main profile page along with the venue details - please come along if you're able to, we've got some serious rocking out to do!!

The gig at The Peel on September 19th will feature special guests, CRIMSON SKY, from Bristol, who are another up and coming band who have just released their debut album - MISUNDERSTOOD which is a belter - so please come and show your support for them too!

We are very pleased to be joined by DEEEXPUS for the gigs at MALTBY, SOUTHEND & YEOVIL. DeeExpus are another relatively new band but again, are making huge waves both here, in Europe and in the US. Their debut album, HALF WAY HOME is fantastic and they also have a live DVD available of their gig in Katowice, Poland, in February this year, entitled "FAR FROM HOME" - again, awesome with some super cool out takes too!!

Finally, we're supporting Blaze Bayley at Metalfest on Friday 25th September and we finish up the mini tour at CalProg on October 10th which will be our second visit to the US this year!

It will be fantastic to see some of you along the way and to meet those of you whom we haven't met so far.....we're going to have a lot of fun with some great music and a few surprises thrown in for good measure 

Thanks again for all of your support - as I always say, we wouldn't be doing what we're doing if it wasn't for you!!

Take care, all the best and love from us all, as always,

Moo & Touchstone xxxxx

Very much looking forward to The Peel gig, will be interesting to see Crimson Sky as well, and will also get along to see you at Southend with the brilliant DeeExpus, and will rock out at Metalfest on 25th September.  CalProg is just a step too far this year, sadly.

Haha, good spot, Lord Cotters!!
Looking forward to seeing you James!
Agnieszka, I'm very disappointed that you haven't managed to work something out for you to come over again. Absolutely shocking behaviour!! You're gonna miss the gigs of the year!!

Crimson Sky was one of the first bands I linked up with on MySpace. I'm sure that's going to be a great evening!
