Blog N – Studio & ever So Shy

generalfiasco — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 19:11:18 +0000

So we’re in studio with Gil Norton and basically if he asked us to empty our pockets and give him all our money we would. He’s someone we always wanted to work with and well, it’s happening. We’re hungry though so we hope he doesnt ask for our cash. Pretty sure he won’t.

So between laying down drums, bass, guitars we’ve been on and off itunes all weekend to try and figure out how Ever So Shy is doing. We think it’s going really well. In the itunes alt chart it is all massive bands with HUGE albums and careers apart from us and Two Door. It’s pretty sweet to see Two door and us so close together up with all these big guys.

You can buy the single now from here.

So the UK tour kicks off tomorrow and we’re pretty excited. Some of the shows are about to sell out and we’ll be back on the road with the BBR boys. Good times!!

No pics in this blog. We’ve lost the camera*

*in the van, so it’s not technically lost BUT it cant be found.

Ever So Shy – Out today on itunes

generalfiasco — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 12:19:52 +0000

Hi everyone, our single is out today and available to buy from itunes. It would be great if everyone could buy it and tell anyone who like us to buy it too, we really want to try and get in the top 40 chart and you guys can help us make this happen. Thanks so much for all your support so far, it really blows us away. Click here if you want download our single ……… We have had a mental couple of weeks in europe and have some pretty exciting stuff getting announced over the next few days. Hopefully see you at a gig soon. GF x

Blog M – London Calling, KIGH, XFM & Next Single

generalfiasco — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 17:07:09 +0000

Today was tough. It sounds bad and we know it. We’re pretty much doing EXACTLY what we hoped we would be with the band, everything is going AMAZING…but we are beat. We are beat.

The last couple of days have been some of the most tiring we’ve went through. 4 countries in 1 day is what we’re looking at at the minute in terms of schedules. But we’re back in London now, re-charging, laying off the beers for a day or 2 and getting the next single done.

Today we recorded a session for XFM. We’ll put the details up in the next blog. It went really well. We did Shy, Foolish, Buildings and Eyes.

(His headphones kept sliding off his sweaty face so they were duct taped on.)

(Big Yeo’s to XFM Chris for being a Dude)

Cant say what the next single is BUT you can maybe work it out from the Blog so far

We’re recording it tomorrow with one of our favourite producers. Hopefully it’ll be great. it WILL be great.

Some more news….

- Album’s are finished and in the van! We spent a good hour singing about 38753487584375 (ok, 150) of them earlier. you can get it from play.com with a bonus disc or from recordstore.co.uk with the signed ones. i think.

(Finally…)

- WE HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED AS SUPPORT FOR KIDS IN GLASS HOUSES UK TOUR!! We are so excited about this. This is going to be LETHAL!

- We’ve got some new merch on the way. New Tees, New Bags. We love them. we’ll get some pics up soon.

- there’s more, i know there is, but i cant remember and it’s 1am and it’s been 4 nights with 2 hrs sleep a night and it’s time for sleeps.

oh yeah, 2 things. 1) MASSIVE thanks to Darren and P for all their help on the European dates. We couldnt have done it without you. You’re total dudes. 2) New Birds by Arab Strap and Just a Friend by Biz Markie are well worth checking out if you dont know them.

So tonight is our last date in Holland. Tomorrow, Owen flies to Ireland for some promo and the rest of band and crew head to London for an XFM session on Friday. These dates with BBR have been great BUT the last couple of days (weeks) have been so full on that we’re all looking forward to some travel days to try and pull ourselves back together before the UK dates next week. This weekend though we’re recording the next single with Gil Norton. That’s a pretty big deal for us. He’s worked with the Pixies, Foo’s, Ben Kweller, Maximo Park etc. So that should be cool.

We’re in Nijmegen now. Trying to avoid the cold. Trying to avoid the bats. The van doors opened and everyone seemed to walk off in different directions. Like lost indie Zombies. Looking for liquid. Brains rattling. Nijmegen kind of looks like Coleraine in NI. It’s the first time in weeks that we’ve been reminded of home and to be honest it’d be nice to go into Belfast, meet some friendly faces and maybe go to Gigantic or Blackout. But thats a month away. And as these booze blues are shaken off with a nights sleep we’ll be glad to be in London or Manchester or Calais or Dublin or Austin where ever we’ll be in the next couple of weeks.

It’s Enda’s 21st Birthday today and to celebrate we’re staying in….Schipol Airport! Well, a hotel at Schipol airport but it’s still not the best way to spend a 21st so please send him some love if you’ve got him on facebook etc. Him and our tech got kicked out of the biggest casino in Holland at the weekend. They didn’t appreciate the burping and headwear apparently.

So if you read the last blog you’d know we stole a rubber chicken and we’re going to take it round the world with us. Well, apparently this taking pictures of an item all around the world and posting the pictures back to the owner of the item has been done before. The movie Amelie to be exact. It’s pretty much the whole point of that movie. But it’s not a rubber chicken it’s a Gnome. I’ve never seen Amelie before (I saw very brief highlights in Dutch as proof last night). So wasnt to know. But we’re still going to do it. No doubt we’ll lose the chicken, within days. It’ll be like when we bought a tonne of US sweets with the last of our dollars from the ‘Shy video shoot in NY and left them in the f****** cab.

So that’s it. Mainland Europe done. For now. We have some really nice European festival action coming in for later in the Summer which we can talk about soon so we’ll be back. In the mean time. Hopefully we can see you in the UK next week!!

Doei, GF xx
