Its been a whirlwind of a month since coming to the U.K, with some incredible gigs and moments, hauling our equipment up and down Britain’s train lines and cobbled streets. It began with a trip to Brighton and the Great Escape Festival, sharing the stage with some brilliant fellow Australian bands, including Teenagers In Tokyo and Dappled Cities and some incredible international acts most notably White Rabbits who blew our minds.

Following Brighton came our trip to Liverpool for the Sound City festival and a particularly special acoustic showcase in the John Lennon suite at the Hard Days Night Hotel. We couldn’t pass the chance to jump on the white Grand Piano and try out some new tracks and a cover of Lennon’s Working Class Hero.

Last week we traveled to Birmingham to play a show with the epic Rogue States and work on a demo with producer Gavin Monaghan, known for his work with Editors. This is a track we have been playing live since our arrival in the UK. So it was great to finally record it. We are all excited by the results, definitely a creative departure for us, which will be carried forward on to the next album.

This week has started with a bang with our new single ‘Pretty Little Thing’ officially released and picking up airplay across the country. Today we found out the single has been featured on industry newsletter ‘Record of the Day.’ Tomorrow Friday 18th we headline The Barfly in Camden, (It’s after the football don’t worry!) one of the biggest shows of the tour to date and a great place to launch the single. To celebrate and thank everyone for their support we are going to be giving away two FREE digital downloads including ‘Pretty Little Thing’ and previously unreleased track ‘No Complaints’. If you can’t make the show don’t worry from next week we will also be giving these tracks away to our friends on Facebook and Myspace.

The second half of the tour is already looking busy and no doubt there will be many more adventures and stories. We have more shows in London before heading down to Exeter for a gig in late July. We look forward to meeting you.

The adventure continues...
