I am at my Dad’s house and he has reprimanded me for not updating our website enough. Frankly my only excuse is that Twitter is a lot less time consuming. So here’s a slightly more verbose message.

We have now rounded off Grammatics 2009 and moved into a strikingly new phase of our existence. We are half a new band in personnel terms and an altogether different band as a result. We would like to thank everyone who’s been to see us, bought our record, expressed enthusiasm and even just paid attention when we were supporting one of the numerous bands we have played with throughout the year (thanks also to them - Red Light Company, Rolo Tomassi, Maximo Park, Radiohead (come on - technically) and Bloc Party). We toured with Pulled Apart By Horses but no fuckin way in hell were we supporting those degenerates.

As has been said, our priority now is to write and record our second album. Those of you who came out to see us in December may have seen us playing an as-yet-untitled new song. This is the first fruit of the writing we have done since playing with James and Lins and we’re excited to settle down and carry on without the distraction of going on a month long tour with caterers and a ping pong table or driving an 18 hour round trip to Amsterdam to play for half an hour and spend the majority of the rest of the time filming nonsense for an inane video diary chronicling our expriences window shopping for condoms and chatting a lot of jazz fag bullshit.

We hope you had a bearable Christmas and awake to find yourself suitably clothed, if not at least vaguely aware of where you are on New Year’s Day.

Festive greets

Coinciding with the Bloctober tour our brand new single ‘Double Negative’ is here. You might have heard the track played at some of the recent Grammatics shows. The single comes with a cover of The Good Life track ‘Notes in his Pockets’ as the b-side.Both tracks were recorded with Mr James Kenosha in Bridlington at the start of the summer.

Digitally the single is available to buy NOW from iTunes but if you pre-order the 7” (out 26th October) from Dance To The Radio’s online shop you will be sent the MP3’s to the tracks very soon after the order has gone through.

To get your hands on the single from iTunes click here - http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=333006298&s=143444

To get your hands on the 7” and MP3s click here - http://dancetotheradio.bigcartel.com/

Also if you visit the Dance To The Radio store you can get hold of the album which can be shipped worldwide (vinyl & CD) along with some of the 7”s and a number of other releases.

Keep your eyes peeled for a special free download over the Bloctober tour.

There will be a rescheduled full band show at Fibbers on Friday 21st August. Original tickets remain valid for both the acoustic show AND the rescheduled date. We hope to announce more rescheduled dates in the near future.

And to clarify my previous post, we WILL be playing at Leeds/Reading Festival and on the Bloc Party tour as planned.

See you all soon

Due to unforeseen circumstances all our July shows - Manchester, Liverpool, York and Truck Festival - have been cancelled. No further shows (Leeds/Reading and Bloctober) will be cancelled. Sorry to everyone who was hoping to see us. We are hoping to reschedule the headline shows for August.

In the meantime, have a look at my Flickr account for some candid tour photos featuring Rolo Tomassi and Pulled Apart By Horses plus some of my own adventures. More to come.
