Hello fellows,

Still enjoying the snow? I don’t know about you but I think I might actually be getting a little sick of sledging… A terrifying thought I know, I’m sorry.

Anyway, I just thought I’d pop in from the cold and say hello (again) and thanks to everyone that came to the our shows on the Huw Steven Presents Tour along with Pulled Apart By Horses. It was chuffing brilliant, every single night. Check out these awesome snaps of us playing at the awesome ICA in London by the awesome Anika, here. Awesome.

We’re this very moment finalizing all the plans for our next great adventure around Europe with our old pals Johnny Foreigner. I believe we’ll be calling at:

Paradiso, Amsterdam – 22 Feb

Fleche D’or, Paris – 23 Feb

Witloof Bar, Botanique, Brussels – 24 Feb

Gebaude 9, Cologne – 25 Feb

Molotow, Hamburg – 27 Feb

Manufaktur, Schorndorf – 28 Feb

Ampere, Munich – 1 Mar

Mascotte, Zurich – 2 Mar

Magnet, Berlin – 3 Mar

Rust, Copenhagen – 5 Mar

Garage, Oslo – 6 Mar

Debaser, Stockholm – 7 Mar

I cannot wait. Seriously. Usually its nice to have a few days of nothingness after a spurt of shows (particularly shows as mental as the Brudenell Social Club on the last night!) but within 24 hours I was raring to go again, I’m getting all fidgety just typing about it.

But there’s more! After that we wing it over to Texas for a week of beautiful sunshine and beautiful barbeque, oh and amazing shows by amazing bands from all over the world at SxSW 2009! Expect blogs galore gushing about every band we see and hear…

Anyway, we’ve got even more things to look forward to. I have it from reliable sources that our copies of The Golden Spike are in the post at this very moment! I managed to snatch a quick glance at one in Jumbo the other day but fought the urge to buy our own record because I reckon the world might have imploded or something like that, plus I’d possibly look like a bit of a tit.

Righto, I’ve got hot chocolate to drink and a fire to sit beside. Oh yes.

Stay warm and see you soon,
