Witches have Big Hair (and other news)

YO

We will be playing in the Oxford Cellar on Thursday 16th July for Big Hair. We're particularly proud to have Baby Gravy as main support - they are a superb band, and we look forward to sharing the stage with them for the first time in nearly three years (by my reckoning).

Also joining us will be Hearts in Pencil, an exciting up-and-coming Oxford band who Oxfordbands, raving about their debut release Hannibal Ad Portas, describe as 'definitely be a band to look out for', a band with 'real promise'. Be sure to come down early and check them out.

Tickets are normally about £4 on the door (no advance tickets), and doors open at 8.30pm.

We're currently continuing work on the next album with producer Jamie Masters, with much of the recording taking place in August and September. We're hoping to complete some of the tracking at the amazing SAE studios in Oxford, courtesy of Jack.fm's Next Big Thing competition which we won back in May.

We're also hoping to release a brand new single, taken from the forthcoming album, in October. Confirmation on this and additional info will follow.

The new album will hopefully be released in the first half of 2010 - we're taking a bit longer than originally planned in order to write some additional tracks in Martin's Studio 101. One thing is for sure. 'Heart of Stone' was a country album. This second album will be a rrrock album :)
