Howdy folks, been a few days since I posted (HA! Pun!) and much like a metaphorical blogging duck, our legs are paddling like mad underneath. Why you say?  

Well, as a totally DIY institution, now that we've made a new album it's time to send it out for radio airplay, reviews, friends and people-you-ought-to-send-an-album-to and all the little things that you have to do when there' no one else to do it for you. I am not sure what some of those things are, but whenever we think we've figured one out, why, we just rush right out and do it.

After a day or filling in customs forms for overseas send-outs, looking up addresses, making sure you've spelled things correctly, making sure you've written things in your neatest hand writing, realising that your "B" looks like an "8", deciding to print it instead (thank you arial font) , realising that for some reason your printer thinks all Black letters should have a red outline,  you find yourself wondering whether you're in a Band or if the 5th Circle of Hell involves a rotation as a Postal Clerk.

All I can say is thankfully we don't have to lick stamps :-) It's all self seal these days. Thanks to Frank for helping with the send outs.

I've been getting some early feedback on Hired Guns and its remarkably positive, so that's nice. You might even hear the odd track played on a few shows on local radio over the next few weeks. 

Meanwhile, we have a string of gigs in the next few months (tomorrow night at the Taverners) , plus some special guest muso's coming to join us (more about that in due course) plus we're due to make some more videoclips, plus some more interviews, we really should rehearse the endings of the new songs from the album and...and oh my lord what now....not more songs, surely. Really? You guys want to work on new songs? Now? But I still have two CD's to post to Belgium...

And so the great CD turns again. Ya finish one and start the next. Hurrah!
