We did another BBC Introducing session last week with our favourite presenter Mr Tom Simkins who was kind enough to give us a little tour of studio after we'd finished. We even got to see the newsroom and I managed to get a cheeky photo of myself sat behind the news desk. Great days! We played acoustic versions of Animal and God's Front Porch, hopefully we'll get some recordings up in the near future.
Just had a few moments to spare so I thought I'd take the time to go through the photos we all took on what was our second UK tour. Highlights from which include backing up a local rap duo in Leicester, being introduced to the world's greatest record shop in Stockton on Tees (Sound it Out) and playing a Burlesque show in Birmingham for the The Burlesque Company. We're all eager to get back out there again so keep an eye on the gig dates!
Well after another scan through the old geek calendar we've discovered that this Friday will mark 35 years of the TRS-80. The machine that Matthew Smith used to develop the epic video game titles Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy.
It also just happens that we've now completed the album and have to settle upon a release date and...well you can see where this is going. So as a nod to Tandy and the machine they released through Radio Shack outlets back in 1977 we'll be releasing our debut album this Friday the 3rd August 2012. If you can't wait that long, we're actually on tour at the moment and have a few advance copies with us that we're selling at gigs.
Well now the sun's finally decided to make an appearance we've decided that after spending nearly 7 months in the studio it was about time to get out into the real world again! We're hitting the road first thing tomorrow morning and heading up to Middlesbrough, and we won't be coming back again for 7 whole nights. We'll also be armed with a box full of the new album, which we'll be releasing officially very very soon but you if you come see us play you can grab one now.
Here's a full list of the upcoming shows:
Well our second single is now here, complete with artwork and a music video. If you like it then buy it, share it, come see us play live and we'll continue to exist! You can purchase it for a mere fifty pence at http://thebritishibm.bandcamp.com/
