What up!

We’ll be taking a break for the next month or so, as our singer/songwriter/guitarist/keyboardist/all-round extraordinaire James Dolin heads to Europe for some fine wine and soul searching. But! before that we have one last show! A Psychedelic Reaction this Saturday night at the Fremantle Arts Centre with our mates Datura, Sonpsilo Circus and Hurricane Fighter Plane! It’s going to be an audio-visual freak out, taking after the psychedelic reaction shows that went down in London and San Francisco in the 60s and in Melbourne in the 80s. You’ll also get a CD on entry with a track from each of the bands as a souvenir of your psychedelic experience. More deets available from the Freo Arts Centre website and tix available from Heatseeker.

Once James gets back in mid-may we’ll be supporting SURES (NSW) at Mojos with Blackmilk, plus we’ll be heading down to the South West for a little tour in June. We’ll keep you posted on all that jazz!

Plus we have a video clip in the process of being made for our recent single ‘Excuses’. There’s a bit of a blog going on so if you’re keen to keep up with the progress follow it here!

And that’s our news for now see y’all on the other side of May!

Love and paisley,
