Unfortunately we've had to pull out of the MGM gig on the 02/09. Bad times, however hopefully we'll have a new date sometime soon.

We'll be having our first venture to Durham (at Durham Live Lounge) on the 02/10 supporting Arcs & Trauma, who will have conquered Leeds Festival way back in August and will be well on their way to great things...

The gig was a blast! We have some footage up on:

Good times were had and we were joined by Mr. Richard Tomsett on Cello for As You Begin. Unfortunately we had to drop A Child's Eyes (with Rich) due to time restraints - but we will hopefully be playing it at the Cluny 2 (05/11).

Its's pretty safe to say that So What Robot were spot on and are a bunch of gentlemen; they turned down the headline slot we offered them due to being a fairly new band.

Thanks to everyone who attended and we will hopefully see you at the Cluny 2 gig...

Good times were had indeed! Arcs & Trauma and Antlez were both spot on (with an onstage roll from Antlez!) and we could actually hear ourselves onstage properly for once which was a treat. We drank warm Fosters (from a Heineken crate!?) and all was well.

Some footage from Stockton Fringe Festival is up on our YouTube and some footage from Tall Ships should be up soon. Find it here:

Our next gig is at Newcastle O2 Academy 2 this Friday (13/08) and we cannot wait!

We are looking forward to playing Hartlepool Tall Ships main stage at 6pm this Friday (06/08/10) and are not too sure what to expect! All we know is that it has the potential to be absolutely rocking - 1 million people are predicted to visit Hartlepool over the weekend! Get down early for Arcs & Trauma. It's free so if you're nearby have a pop down and enjoy random stuff...

Stockton Fringe (last Friday) went very well. Our trailer was next to the Human League's - although we didn't meet them! 

This week will be a busy one! We're returning to do our 3rd BBC Radio Tees Introducing Session with the one and only Bob Fischer on Wednesday (28/07) and then we're playing the Main Stage at Stockton Riverside Fringe Festival on Friday (30/07). We're on at 15:45-16:15 and we're looking forward to Stockton shenanigans, plenty of parmos and The Human League!

Bring it on,

R

Our EP launch is at the Studio in Hartlepool this Friday (16th July). Support is from Atlantic In Transit and Up! Down! Strange! Doors open at 7 and the first band starts at 8. £3 entry (18+) and the first 25 people in get a super limited edition physical copy of our EP! The EP will be available for free download from http://runwells.bandcamp.com/ from the 16th July.

See you on Friday,

R

Tom, Jon and Andy move into their new house tomorrow so prepare for a much higher output of general music and stuff than of late. Tom has been inbetween Hartlepool and Jon & Andy's sofa so not much writing has been done in the last year!

With the help of Jay we also aim to get our YouTube ball rolling with (hopefully at least) fortnightly content. We have a few random ideas so keep your eye on our channel.

We also have four new songs written by Tom in the pipeline and they are sounding good! I finally get to truly get my bass-funk out at last on one of them! We should be cracking them out very soon so listen out at one of our upcoming gigs...

All the best,

Andy.

Greetings.

Things are coming together! Our second EP is now finished.
It's called "Everybody Does The Same Thing Every Day"
Track listing is

1. Trenches
2. The Flood
3. Cranes

The release date is unconfirmed (sometime in July) but it will be free to download.
We're planning a launch gig and making plans for a video for Cranes too. (You might have heard it if you were listening to BBC Newcastle last night..)


 We got the artwork from Rob today and it looks like this:

..

Very nice eh?

Check out the preview of cranes on our myspace page!

We'll finish with a thank you to Rob Kingsley for the artwork and to Craig Pilbin for recording and producing it.

See you soon.
