Latest Hi-jinks

Sunday, Feb 22nd, 2009 - by Michael McKeegan

Hello all,
So what's new you might ask? Weeeell, quite a lot actually…Andy's been out on a European promo trip doing a load of press/radio so you should see/hear that in the forthcoming weeks. The UK/Irish press is starting up now so again keep your eyes/ears peeled and last week we were in Manchester filming the first section of our new video.

We've had a change of heart and the 'lead track' will be "Crooked Timber" (as opposed to the original idea of "Enjoy The Struggle") and the video has some pretty cool 'conceptual' elements. I'm not going to start trying to explain it all as we've just done the 'band performance' side of things and it'll be a little while yet before all these other elements are done. Early days yet but i think it's going to be pretty impressive…

Also mixed some b-sides for the single (which will be download only until i hear otherwise) and they're sounding kicking. We've still to decide what/how many would be included as part of the bundle but "Don't Try" is sounding particularly good…

We also finished off the 12" packaging for the album and again that looks smart, we're going for a coloured vinyl as we know all you T? vinyl-fiends are due a fix!

Ok, that's all for now and YES we will be doing shows around/after album release…take it easy…
