To Boldly Go Where Many Men, Some With Swine Flu, Have Gone Before… Costa Rica!

It’s May! May means a number of things: It’s summery some days. Summery enough in fact that you can find yourself in the park in a T shirt for about 20 mins before you realise that it’s actually far too cold for such winsome attire.

It’s also the beginning of the summer blockbuster season. Not something which I usually find myself too captivated by but by the end of May you can usually have a good sense of the hits and the misses, so far: Star Trek BIG HIT!!! (go see it) and Wolverine: Major Miss! (bitterly disappointed)

But perhaps most importantly May means it’s exam time. So if you’re studying and happen to have us on your list of “‘I listen to these myspaces while I’m ‘working’ ” then thanks very much and good luck!! 

In other news, we had a great time last week with Zoey van Goey at their album launch, they were fantastic, as is their album so go pick it up!  Thanks very much again to them for having us and thanks to those of you who came down early to see us, we were quite shocked at the amount of people who came considering how early the show was. 

Although Zoey was our last full band electric gig for quite some time, we are playing an acoustic show on the 30th May at the 13th Note. This is quite a special wee evening for us not only because we get to play alongside our dear friends The State Broadcasters (YAY!!) but also because it’s our first show with our new group of friends as part of the Wendy House Collective. The first Wendy House album came out a year or two ago and featured loads of great bands like the Broadcasters, Finniston and Attic Lights and last year we were asked if we would like to join, an offer we could not refuse! So the 30th is gonna be kinda like our first day of school, with new faces, new stuff to learn (minus Mark who flies to Miami that day!) and loads of nerves so please come down and hold our hands if need be and tell us it’s going to be ok! Team Turnip are also playing featuring a certain long haired egg scramble-er on the old drums so come check that out!

Anyway, we’ve been working on bits and bobs this week in endor world and preparing for Mark to go so hopefully we can be pretty productive whilst he’s away, more acoustic-ish gigs to follow so keep you eyes peeled. Acoustic-ish shows mean the fun to hassle  ratio tips in the fvourable direction thanks to the lack of equipment needed to be lugged around! So it’s gonna be  fun summer!!
