New Live Date: Wycombe Arts Centre, June 10th 2023

Hi, folks! Just a quick update today to let you know to save the date of Saturday June 10th 2023 because we’ll be playing an outdoor set at Wycombe Arts Centre.

The gig is part of the opening event for Bucks Art Week and is also the day before Dane’s birthday, so it’s sure to be a good one. It’s been a while since we’ve played outside at the arts centre and so we’re super excited to head back.

At the moment, we’re not sure who the other acts will be or what time we’ll be performing, so be sure to head over to the Facebook event that we’ve created for the latest details. You can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram for more.

New Live Shows: The Bull (Great Milton) and BellFest (Princes Risborough)

Hi, folks! We have some exciting news for you today, which is that we’re down to play not one but two new live shows!

We’ll be playing at The Bull in Great Milton on Saturday 4th June, as well as at BellFest in Princes Risborough on Saturday 6th August. We’ve created Facebook events for both so that you can mark your attendance and get a reminder, so be sure to click through to them.

We’ll also have CDs and some of our new merch available at each of these shows, so be sure to bring along a little pocket money. We’re looking forward to seeing you! And of course, in the meantime, feel free to follow us on Facebook and Instagram for more.

New Gig: Far Out Festival, Rising Sun Ickford, Saturday 2nd July

Hi, folks! Today, we’ve got a super exciting announcement to share with you, which is that we’re going to be performing at the Far Out Festival at the Rising Sun in Ickford.

Running from 1 PM to 9 PM on Saturday 2nd July, the festival will host around eighteen acts and include arts and crafts stalls with a mini Glastonbury/Woodstock vibe.

We’ve always enjoyed playing at the Rising Sun, and we’re super excited to be sharing the bill with a bunch of friends and talented musicians. The day is sure to be a blast (even if it rains), and so make sure you mark it on your calendar.

We’ll see you there!

We’ve Got Merch (and a New Logo)!

Hi, all! Just a quick post to let you know that we’ve got a brand spanking new logo, because our old one was really just a placeholder and we weren’t 100% happy with it. The new one is a much better reflection of who we are as a band, and you can check it out below.

Of course, there was another reason for wanting a new logo, which is that we thought it was about time that we got some merch sorted. Come and see us at a show sometime soon to see what we’ve got available!

Price list:

Depression and Mediocrity (EP): £5

12 Step Programme (Album): £8

Tshirt: £15

Badges: 50p

Guitar picks: £1

We’ll also throw in a free badge with every CD or tshirt purchase, and if there’s enough demand there then we might work on some other merch, too. Just let us know what you’d like to see!

We’ve got plenty more cool stuff coming soon including a new show or two to announce, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled on our Facebook and Instagram profiles for more. We’ll see you at a show sometime soon!
