Hey folks, we’re just days away from the official release of our new album entitled ‘Balance’. If you haven’t already checked them out, we’ve a selection of new tunes on our music page for your ears.

We’ve 3 interesting activities planned to celebrate the launch.

Dublin – Whelan’s Upstairs – Saturday 10th July [facebook event]
Come and help us celebrate the release of our new album ‘Balance’. We’ll be ably supported by You Kiss By The Book. Doors at 8pm and its only 5 euro, tho we’ll have some nice new albums for you to purchase too! We’ll also be doing some busking on Grafton Street to earn our dinner money during the afternoon, so feel free to come find us. If you fancy joining in, bring something to shake or rattle!

Belfast – Out Of Place – daytime Saturday 17th & Sunday 18th July
Castle Lane, Opposite Starbucks, Belfast City Centre.
We’re delighted to be part of the Out of Place initiative which sees a disused City Centre shop unit being transformed into an epicentre of activity. Its designed to bring a bit of life back into the space, instead of another charity shop or pound store.

The shop will be our base for two days of workshops, outdoor performances and loads of interaction with the public. If you’d like to take part, please get in touch, or stay tuned for a more detailed announcement shortly.

Belfast – McHughs – Sunday 18th July [facebook event]
Part of the awesome Trans festival, our Belfast launch show features three mini-sets from ourselves, showcasing different aspects of our new album ‘Balance’ as well as special performances by You Kiss By The Book and Tom McShane. Come along early to catch the first ‘Act act!

Doors are at 9 and tickets will be strictly limited at £4. Albums and other goodies will also be available.

Look out for postcards appearing around Belfast with a ‘yer mate gets in for half price’ offer.
