Here's what our very first EP Holy Yell looks like! Marvellous, I think. We have a bunch of copies ready for you to grab off us at the next gig of ours you can get to...
We've been busy recording! This is one of the five songs we've just finished. If you saw us play last year, perhaps you already know it...

This and four other tracks are on the thing we call Holy Yell, which we are super happy with. With any luck we'll have copies of it at all of our upcoming shows, including our first of the year, at Bush Hall tomorrow night (supporting A Genuine Freakshow). We're on at 8.30pm sharp!
Also, keep watching the various Spark spaces for more streams of new songs...
Dear diary, I have been meaning to tell you to watch the latest short film by my good friend Tem. He works as a 35mm film projectionist about London, and he has made this delightful piece about his job.

It's very sad that proper film seems to be endangered now, and with it the craft of projection...
Tem has made a bunch of other films as well as tunes and fine illustrated books, all marvellous, so have a poke around.

As the blankets of snow that had festooned London all day turned into grim oceans of slush, we played our last show of the year near Kings Cross, boasting terrible cracker jokes, paper crowns, and a tentative new song, but very nearly not featuring a hi-hat. Thank-you eARmusic for putting a top evening together.
We're about to complete our first batch of recordings, and then we shall resume such live appearances in February. See you then, then!

Gosh! The OP-1 by Teenage Engineering has me quite smitten. It's a portable synthesiser and controller that comes from Sweden and the future, and looks like enormous fun.
