Well hello there sir/madam.
When we’re not ROFLing hard at our very own Shreds video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgJqkDsfdZk ), or engrossed in our Panini World Cup sticker book (who needs a Javier Mascherano?), we’ve been in Ed’s garage slowly crafting music that will, in the not too distant future, make up our second album. Yep that’s right, you thought you’d finally got us out of your hair for good, but here we are with another set of bangers, slow jams and skits for club, street and home listening.
Working titles, likely to change at a moments notice, include:
Chimes / Tubular / Bells
True Love
Pull Me Back To Earth
Schaffel: The Return
Running Away
Ultra Slow Jam
+++ a whole load of other fragmented micro-bits and nano-bobs.
In the spirit of the UK’s new coalition government, we are working on a song in conjunction with an mind-bogglingly talented and unique singer with whom many of you will be familiar. I’ll give you a clue as to who it is; the person doesn’t wear bad hats or have a cousin called Tulisa.
Anyone wanting a first listen to a small handful of these songs should pop along to one of our festival gigs this summer. If you think they’re awful then boo them and maybe we’ll consider changing them a bit…democracy in action.
The dates are as follows:
29th May: Saint Laurent de Cuves, Pampillon de Nuit, France
4th June: Selector Festival, Krakow, Poland
11th June: Inverness Festival
12th June: Warehouse Project Festival, Manchester
13th June: Isle of Wight Festival
3rd July: Beauregard Festival, Caen, France
4th July: Wireless Festival with Jay Z, Hyde Park, London
9th July: Pohada Festival, Slovakia
17th July: Melt Festival, Germany
30th July: Emmaboda Festival, Sweden
1st August: Camp Bestival, Dorset
7th August: Sudoeste Festival, Portugal
28th August: LED Festival, Victoria Park, London
3rd September: DJ Set @ Stop Making Sense Festival, Croatia.
5th September: Electric Picnic, Ireland
So there you have it.

I have just seen you guys at Papillions de Nuit and you were fantastic!!!!!!
How did you feel it went?
The French audience seemed a bit reserved first of all (I’m not sure of your exposure over here?), but you soon won them over.
