as the nights draw in...

We've had a productive couple of weeks since the release of our mini-album. When we planned the release date we were hoping to do a big launch gig in Luton, I think we were imagining something at the Hat Factory or The George II, but hey ho as things turned out we didn't manage to sort either... mainly because although we had pencilled the release date months in advance, it really crept up on us and October ended up being one of the busiest months for us all personally! Typical!

So we've been busy plugging the release, albeit a tad later than hoped. Brian Heywood in the Luton News gave us a good mention... although described us as 'Metal Band Reverie'... we're putting it down to a "typo" as we are pretty far from metal. We've definitely gone down the shoegaze path with avengence and left a lot of the hectic/ 65 Days of Static abrasive stuff behind, opting for a more soundscape approach.

After that little mis-directing write-up in the Luton News we were lucky enough to be asked to come onto the BBC Three Counties Radio for the BBC Introducing show to talk about the release. Even more luckily we had one of the tracks played on air, so people can really make their own mind up about what the new stuff sounds like. Of course we did manage to air a few of the tracks live over the summer when we played at the Hat Factory.

Talking of live stuff we've booked in two shows, the first of which will be at The Castle in Luton, on Saturday 20th November 2010 which is smack bang in the centre of town. For those of you from Luton, it's by Brookes pub and for those of you that don't, I believe it is, 1 Castle Street, Luton. By popular demand I think we will be pulling out a few of the Reverie oldies, as I think we are playing on our own that night.

Also we've confirmed to play the legendary Hope and Anchor in Islington London on Saturday 11th December 2010. Famous for having The Police and an early U2 play there. It's small but has probably one of the best PAs on the scene. Closest tube is Highbury and Islington on the Victoria Line or on the newly branded London Overground. This will be our last show of the year and we're hoping to have physical CDs of our mini-album available at both.

**DISCLAIMER** As we're incredibly unorganised the CDs may not come to fruition although it is our intention. If we don't manage to get our act together this side of Christmas, in the new year we are looking at booking a show in at Cargo in Shoreditch and probably another Luton show so could have them ready by then! We need a manager!
