Well i'm not going to lie, i'm a little bit sad today. Last night marked the end of the Battles tour. It's been great getting out of the local comfort zone and playing. Especially with Harry & Naomi in the trio setup. I just would like to say a big thanks to all of those that came to the gigs, downloaded the EP, bought the CD, shared posts, liked/followed pages and all that stuff. I'm about to cook dinner and watch the Iggy Pop lecture about being a creative type in a capitalist world (which I'm predicting might be a little depressing) and the simple fact is that whether you like it or not YOU are instrumental in our successes (or failings come to think of it). Not that it's all you of course, but people power can make or break an artist for sure. "Shipwrecks" only did as well as it did because of those that bought/shared it. Yes I wrote it, yes I had a whole heap of help recording it and making a video for it, but if no one ever hears/sees it then it's difficult to call it "successful" even if you think it's good. So with that in mind when I say thanks to those of you mentioned above I REALLY REALLY mean it! Thanks. :-)
In other really rather splendid news, I got my first ever air play on BBC 6 music! Battles was played on Tom Robinson's Mixtape last night. You can download the podcast from
here or you can stream it from the site
here. Big thanks to Tom Robinson and the BBC6 Music team. That was the perfect way to end the tour. :-)
So what's next? Firstly, i'll be adding physical copies of "Battles" to the
Bandcamp store this week. Keep an eye on the
Facebook &
Twitter pages for when that'll be in place.
Also we've got another London date coming up! It'll be at The Troubadour on Nov 2nd, check the poster below to see all the other fantastic acts that shall be playing. (Read next bit in a cheesy radio dj voice) Brought to you by
G7th Capos! ;-) Tickets are available £5 adv from
here or £7 on the door.
And then it's time to start planning another tour and EP 3... Mwha ha ha. :-)
