"Set in the beautiful South Shropshire Hills in an award winning Brew Pub. 14 or more bands over a night and a day all able to be accompanied by the joys of real ale brewed on the premises.

"Camping is available a short walk out of the town centre as are many B&Bs . Also there is another brewery / 4 real ale pubs and artisan shops and countryside to get lost in - oh yes and the music!"

This festival is being organised by the incredible Lancashire & Somerset label, otherwise known as Mr David Hand. Details will be forthcoming on their website soon, but in the meantime you can email hello@lancashireandsomerset.co.uk for more information. 

Mmmm... music, beautiful countryside, actual beer an the company of esteemed friends. Four of our most favourite things in life. Join us, why don't you?

CHEERS HOLY SMOKES AND DEAN!

Hej,

We had a great time on Saturday basking in the sunshine as we played our first ever outdoor show at Derby's Holy Smokes "Let's Get Lost" Weekender. Cheers to Jay and all the bods behind Holy Smokes for inviting us to play a load of songs and confuse the hell out of passers-by, skateboarders and small children on scooters. It also gave us an opportunity to unwittingly (almost) recreate the inside sleeve from ZZ Top's 'Tejas'. Awesome.

By the way, if you didn't go, you missed RM Hubbert (again) and Aidan Moffat. Bloody hell.

Oh, and Dean Jackson and the BBC Introducing team were good enough to play "Horse" from our forthcoming TEAPOT EP on BBC Nottingham/Derby/Leicester on Saturday night. Thanks guys! You can have a listen here - it's the first song after the news and weather. Just the way we like it.

More news and details of our EP launch party and UK tour very soon, but until then, enjoy:

HOLY SMOKES!

Hola!

Fresh off the back of 3 glorious nights with our fab friends Papier Tigre (still on tour in the UK! Check 'em out!), the highly excellent Holy Smokes collective in Derby have invited us to play their LETS GET LOST festival on Saturday 12th May, alongside the likes of Aidan Moffat, Blanck Mass and RM Hubbert - who had the Chameleon, Nottingham in the palm of his hand when he played with us last Friday.

The whole day is a glorious collection of alternative music, art and film in the unorthodox setting of one of the world's first factory buildings situated in the centre of Derby, UK. The Holy Smokes guys have asked us to do something a little different, so - weather allowing - you'll find us opening the day for all you lucky, lucky people at midday on Cathedral Green.

Come say hi!

A CAREFULLY PLANNED FESTIVAL

Crikey! Exciting stuff. We have been asked to play A Carefully Planned Festival in Manchester on Saturday 15th October.

We'll be on some time in the afternoon at Centro. More details to follow soon!
