Tuesday 19 August 2008
finally finally
So yeah,
long time no type eh?
i really haven't had time to do this for ages cause of exams, starting a new year, gigs and other stuff.
but anyway, besides a few gigs here and there ( particularly in the last few weeks) we haven't really been doing much.
you see basically since our april tour we've been stuck in a state of limbo.
basically to break it down even more, we played a gig for a nice guy called Seb, it was at his house with loads of other sweet bands. His friend Brett liked our set (yay) and said he wanted to manage us and release records blah blah.
so we were like " ok ...." 3 months later, still haven't really spoken to him and we're just doing like one gig a month but basically we played another house party and then a gig in bridgwater ( where brett lives) and we sorted everything out.
so basically ( i have to stop saying that!) the plan is to have a new release out by the end of the year ( or the start of 09) which will be released on Brett's label " in it for the money records"(formerly of tiger force) we've pretty much got the songs written, all it is a matter of sorting out where to record, who with, and how to fund it. we've got some pretty exciting plans for this release which includes, touring a lot (fuck college man, i got such good grades that i dont even need to go to uni*) touring a lot more, adding more people on myspace and maybe even making a video. (not sure whether i was meant to say that) the release will also almost definitely be on 7" which is cool and we're going to include a code with it so if you buy it you can download the songs for free so you guys have no excuse.
anyway, we played a gig with the almighty blakfish and tubelord last night which seemed to go really well compared to that horrendous show at the george the previous thursday. and some nice guy reviewed us in his blog. here it is, i'm not sure whether its good or not but here we go.
"Um… but anyway run, Walk! are on first, I get there I think it must have been somewhere halfway through their first song. I maintain they're probably Winchester's best band at the moment, not that I really know too much about any others. Just bass and drums, which makes for an interesting angle on the whole Kinsella-style thing they do at least, and plus this is one band where the *bassist* is the tortured artist there, which is novel. Undeniably teenaged, but that doesn't mean they aren't going interesting places. Pretty passionate performance too, at least from bassist/singer Matt, tumbling around the place angstily whilst drummer wins over my friend Ella's heart by just tapping happily away "like a pleased five year-old" (not my words). Manage to blag a free copy of their EP too- they didn't sound too proud of it when handing it over but as far as self-released EPs sold at shows go, its really good. Look out for them in future, I can only assume they're only getting better."
so yeah, thats all for now i'll update you soon when we have more news on the new release and other stuff.
Matt xx
