11.11.2007 -

unfortunately due to recurring illness we've been forced to cancel the last 3 shows of our tour (cardiff, london, tilburg). These will be rescheduled for early 2008 but in the meantime refunds should be applicable. apologies and thanks for your patience.

25.10.2007 - Bang

dear rock fans   Our forthcoming hop around the UK will be our last full length stint on the road before the reunion tour in 2037. We're up for spending more time at home working on other projects and potentially a fourth album if we can beat our last effort. Plus we reckon 7 years in the van is a fair stretch by any standards. Just like the Beatles after Rubber Soul, its hallucinogenics and concept albums from here on. In the meantime, as usual, expect the unforgettable.

thank you
