ON TOUR

Aye up,

Thanks to everyone who came out for the launch of the Splish/Wet Dog 12"; we managed to sell Chameleon out (apologies ot anyone who couldn't get in!) and had an absolutely brilliant time. Extra special love goes out to I AM LONO, The Cusp and The Kneel Before Zod Video Club of Nottingham Club for their sterling, stellar work on the night. Left Lion also furnished us with a lovely glowing review of the night.

If you missed out on the gig, Splish/Wet Dog will be available in all remaining half-decent actual record shops from Monday 17th June.

If you're too excited, you  can pre-order it here from Hello Thor and get yer download codes in advance of the vinyl platter in June.

If you're in the Nottingham way, I'm sure we'll bring some copies to the Fists album launch all-dayer on Saturday 8th June too... assuming we have any left from our impending exploits abroad:

Oof! We can't wait.

THE CONTINENT BECKONS...

Aye up,

We finished the Splish/Wet Dog 12" the other day. Ultimate satisfaction was achieved and the audio is currently being pressed to hot dripping black wax as we type. Wait 'til you hear the Wax Stag remix, it's a scorcher. We'll get some things online for your streaming pleasure a little closer to the launch date; until then you'll just have to wait...

IN THE MEANTIME, we have been busily pulling together plans to hire ourselves a van and undertake our first ever European Tour in May! Yus, that's right: what better thing to do than to pile yourself into a small vehicle with your closest friends and far too much heavy equipment and proceed to drive 4,000 miles across six countries in ten days? Odds are that we will lose our minds somewhere around the halfway mark and inexplicably kill each other, but we intend to counter the effects of BEING ON THE ROAD by investing in high-quality BOOZE, which will be used to numb our senses, fill up any remaining space in the van and inevitably guarantee a strip-search at the Swiss border. That's just how we roll.

These are the dates to commit to memory. There will be a test (and probably more detail about venues, promoters and door tax) in April:

CANTALOUPE INAUGURAL EUROPEAN BOOZE JAUNT:
24.05.13 | Brussels, Belgium
25.05.13 | Luxembourg
26.05.13 | Offenbach, Germany
27.05.13 | Zurich, Switzerland
28.05.13 | Orléans, France
29.05.13 | Montpellier, France 
30.05.13 | Bordeaux, France
31.05.13 | Nantes, France
01.06.13 | Rouen, France

Excited? You bet we are!
 

WELCOME TO 2013

Lads and ladies,

We're back, and it's 2013: what the fuck is going on? We have plans a-plenty, ranging from finishing some tracks for a new 12" that we started recording with Mr Pete Fletcher before Christmas, due out on Hello Thor in early summer, to our first! ever! European Tour! at the end of May. We're planning on visiting Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and France, so get in touch if you want us to play near you - we're particularly keen to stop in at Luxembourg and Lichtenstein if we're given half a chance. And anywhere selling half-decent booze for cheap, no doubt. Other grand plans will be unveiled as the year progresses.

But what about UK gigs? Oh yes, we have some grand plans there too. First up, we're reconnecting with old friends Burn The Jukebox to play this gig in the capital city next Saturday:

We have also been promised the following fine things:

+ CAKES!
+ BURGERS! (upstairs!)
+ PINTS!

@ THE SEBRIGHT ARMS (closest tube – Bethnal Green, or BR Bethnal Green/Cambridge Heath, or buses up BG or Hackney Road)

8pm start, £3 o.t.d

R.S.V.P on facebook here.

See you there, yeah?
