Histrionics has been mastered - 22/11/2011
After more than two months of tracking and wrestling around with the mix, we were finally presented with the Master copy of Histrionics, our second record and first with the new line-up, on Sunday afternoon. I'm pleased to say everything sounds great, from start to finish. Promos are due to be sent out to the usual suspects and more in the next couple of weeks, once we've got an idea of our options for the record, we'll look at getting it released both physically and digitally as soon as possible. Thanks again to Todd for all his hard work and patience.
Expect to see a track from the record surface online before the New Year.

Pulp TV / Scuzz TV 'Secret Show' with Madina Lake - 14/11/2011
Last Friday we played a 'secret' acoustic show with Madina Lake for Pulp TV / Scuzz TV. We'd known about it for the better part of two weeks but had been sworn to secrecy(!) as Madina Lake were due to play a show on the same night at the Cardiff University. To much stress, sweating and (eventual) nervous amusement, we only found out that the show was an acoustic and an not electric, full-band affair less than ten hours (i.e. on the previous night) before the performance. We'd never, ever previously practiced an acoustic set before. We basically cobbled ourselves together at 9am the following morning (our set was due t be filmed at 11:30am) and decided on four songs we could feasibly (re-)learn(?) and nail with around two hours practice. As it happens, we ultimately only recorded two, Histrionics and Fighting Tigers, the former sounding a little bit ropey but the latter coming out just great. Performances of one or both of the songs will be shown in Pulp stores accross the UK as of next year, as well appear on a 'Pulp TV' episode on the cable channel Scuzz TV.
Gigantic thanks to all who helped out on the day, not least my old man for lending me an acoustic guitar (cheers dad!), Jimmy from Future Of The Left for lending us the other acoustic guitar (cheers Jimmy!), all the crew on the set for being generally lovely and not least Sammy T for hooking the whole thing up in the first place.

Also, we will be wrapping up production on the record next Wednesday evening. A few minor adjustments need to be made to the opening track, House Of America, and after that we're good to roll out a limited pressing of four-track album promo's to be sent to all the usual suspects and more. The run of promo's will be funded by the good folks at TUBORG (http://www.tuborgmusic.com/) which we're over the moon about. Massive thanks to Nick Davidson and co. at The Promised Land (http://www.thepromisedlanduk.com/) for sorting that sweet little hook-up out for us.
