The Flaws confirmed for Oxegen ‘09

The Flaws are delighted to announce that they will play this years Oxegen Festival at Punchestown, Co. Kildare on Friday the 10^th of July. Over the past few months they have been writing their  2^nd album and quietly laying down some demos at Tumbleweed Studios and their own A/B Studios. The lads are very pleased with the outcome so far and are looking forward to showcasing these new songs to a live audience at Oxegen ’09.

The band have also recorded a cover of Echo And The Bunnymens “The Killing Moon “ for a charity album in aid of Aware. The album “Sparks In Mind” was released on 1969 records in June 2009 and also features cover versions from BellX 1 , Republic Of Loose, Lisa Hannigan and Damien Dempsey among others.

hi all. just some news, we'll be out on the road for a bit this may. the listing are on the way. just a few shows to hold ye over for a bit..

we are also recording a cover of The killing Moon for an upcoming charity cd.

and on the other side, the demos are sounding really special for album 2. we wanna do this right, we dont wanna put out a shit album just for the sake of releasing something. its wouldn't be worth it in the long run. we can assure you it will be worth the wait.

we're planning a single for the summer, more on that when dates are confirmed etc. btw. as im sure you've noticed i havent updated this blog in a while, follow us on twitter for uptodate news and randomness and photos from the studio. there are a few there at the minute...

also there is a new video on youtube of a new song called i dont wanna dance from a live show a few months back....

we are writing album 2. thats the news i suppose. its too early to tell what shape it will take but we've burrowed ourselves into a nice place in terms of being creative and yet still being the flaws you all know.

with no deadlines so to speak of we're still moving at a nice pace. we've been throwing some album titles around and we think you'll like what you hear. im under strict orders to remain quiet but something must be said!!!!! something must be said i say. something.

we have one show left this year. 20th of december in the spirit store. so although i cant say much, i promise you will near brand new material on the 20th.
