Live show announcement & preparations, more recording + video!!!
It's all starting to come together :)
LIVE STUFF:
If you didn't see the announcement, we have a show on Saturday 21st November!!!
At our ol' reliable The Lounge Bar in Alton, they are hosting an all-day event with 2 stages, food stalls, drinks and much more. It is going to be a huge celebration for their 20th anniversary, so bring those festival vibes. Bring some friends and hang out for the day. It is gonna be a good one!
If you plan on coming along, get your tickets here and let us know! :)
Also, drum roll (tehehe) - We have a drummer for this show!!!! Woooooo!!!! Finally we have found a wonderful session drummer who will be performing with us in November. We're looking forward to getting in the rehearsal room again and hearing it all come together.
We've spent lots of time tangled up in cables, wrapping things up with black tape and holding little screwdrivers in our hands upgrading our live set-up. Like everything else, it's getting there and we are feeling good!
THE ALBUM PROGRESS:
As stated in the last update: this project has been HARD!
Probably the most demanding thing we have have ever taken on, but we're starting to see a tiny light at the end of the tunnel. Don't get us wrong, it's been fun recording, but we are only just now starting to get a taste of it coming together (although it is just a nibble... a tease...)
The frustrating thing is we still have sooooo far to go and it's impossible to gauge just how much work truly needs to be done. Progress is and will never be linear - but we can feel it in the air.
No matter what we're not turning back now so at some point we will get it done! It just might not be exactly when we planned it to be haha
MERCH:
To keep our spirits up during these stressful times (completely self-inflicted) we decided to make some merchandise for upcoming shows. The retail therapy has officially worked and it's made us VERY EXCITED!!!
We've made up some PULMONIS posters using art by the amazing Andra (co-creator of NEW EARTH) and it looks incredible!!!! The quality is great and having physical manifestations of our work is making everything we're doing feel more real.
Also, T-shirts! After making draft versions of these last year, we decided to go for it and get a few T-Shirts printed. We made sure to purchase a variety of sizes but very limited stock because we are small and tiny and can't afford more than 14 shirts :) :) :)
Our merch will only be available at our shows for the time being. It literally makes zero sense selling merch when there is no music to hear!!! But at live shows it feels more valid haha.
This is a shorter update so here is a video of Kye recording vocals for Night Watch (track 7) this week during yet ANOTHER horrendous heatwave - honestly so fed up with this heat...
Each tiny step is a way forward and we are taking all the wins we can get. We hope you are all doing the same in your own lives, taking things day-by-day or moment-by-moment <3
