Sky Larkin are currently holed up in ‘The Crypt’ (indeed, sounding equally as exciting as it does sinister) somewhere near Leeds writing and demoing some new songs. It’s about time that this pigeon delivered some news or escapades following the release of Antibodies earlier this summer – so here we are. Katie has become quite the talent at twitpicking (read, sending pictures via Twitter) of their rehearsal space at the Crypt, so you really should keep an eye on Doug, Nest and Katie over there, or here
Speaking of Antibodies, through an act of brilliant amnesia it appears that 3 copies of each cassette have turned up in Puregroove in London – so if you missed out visit here.
In other news, we recently asked for some questions for the band – we had quite a response and only three of them were rubished on grounds of inappropriacy – if you have any more questions please email us here or leave a comment below, or fire one over the interwebs at us on Twitter.
The band are playing a slew of shows in the next fortnight – including one added just today – a joint headline show with the magnificent Fight Like Apes at New Slang, Kingston – all details below.
July
17th Belgium, Dour Festival
18th Netherlands, Utrecht, Tivoli
19th Suffolk, Latitude Festival
23rd Kingston, New Slang w/ Fight Like Apes
24th London, Lexington
26th Oxfordshire, Truck Festival
more shows and Festivals in August and beyond – check The Myspace.
Our amps have been on holiday and they sent us some pictures;
Ok, so that isn’t technically true. Those beauties are from the 1968 Fender Musical Instruments catalogue, but don’t they look like they’re having a nice time? Amps deserve a holiday too.
We’re taking our holiday time at home to enjoy un-restricted legroom, familiar faces and regular mattresses. Though we do miss the road and as always root beer is never far from my mind.
We have also been spawning new compositions, most of which are pretty untamed at the moment, but there are a couple we may be able to coax into making an appearance at our Lexington show on the 24th of July…or maybe a festival or two if we’re feeling brave.
keep on rockin’ in the free world
