Goodbye to Festivals + Tour Dates!

After an exhausting, exciting, rewarding and thoroughly enjoyable Bestival, we say goodbye to another festival season! Thankyou to everyone who caught our performances at Glastonbury, Fusion, Blissfields, Beatherder, Hop Farm, Latitude, Ben and Jerry’s Summer Sundae, Camp Bestival, Fieldview, Standon Calling and Bestival.

We’ll be back on the road this weekend playing at Southsea Fest on Saturday 17th September. We’re also going back to Germany to play at the Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg on the 22nd of September, driving onward for a show at the Comet in Berlin on the 23rd. And if that wasn’t enough, we have a date supporting Ghostpoet at Sub89 in Reading on November 9th.

We are also pleased to announce that after the success of our Glastonbury show at Leftfield, Billy Bragg has asked us to go on tour with him! We will be playing all 12 dates of the Leftfield In Motion tour, travelling across the UK from the 13th-28th of November, alongside The King Blues and Akala.

…finally if you haven’t already checked out our debut album or the singles, they are available to download or pick up from all good online dealers and record shops.

Otherwise come to the shows, or help us spread the word by telling all your friends about us! Then get them to come say hello to us online on the website or facebook!

Bestival, and relax!

From our first gig at Glastonbury at Strummerville on Thursday night to our last gig at Bestival at Ink City on Sunday, the festival season this year has been our best one yet! Though we’ve had some low moments, particularly when Ferry’s entire tent was stolen at Secret Garden, with everything in it, we’ve loved it throughout!

Thanks Bestival for being such a great finale! It was great for us to see so many of you in the crowds at Chai Wallah on Friday and the Big Top, Polka Tent and Sailor Jerry’s Ink City on Sunday. Apologies to anyone who came over to the Bimble Inn on Sunday at 7:45, we’d had to cancel earlier that day.

…and with that, the festival season comes to a close! Thankyou to everyone who’s been with us in the van throughout the summer, (Chopin Clan you know who you are), but more importantly thanks to everyone who watched us busking or caught our sets at Glastonbury, Secret Garden, Latitude, Boomtown Fair, Camp Bestival, Big Chill, Standon Calling, Aeon, Shambala, Electric Picnic and Bestival!

Here’s to Festivals 2011!
