Hey all,

Wow ! What a crazy 3 months its been, I suppose 5 technically if you look at it from when we got together with Halo in March.

The return to showgin all started with a warm up show early May which was just to an intimate crowd of 100 competition winners in a secret location. It was a top night and we did it for our new drummer Tom to settle in and preview some new tunes for the die hard fans.

We played 'Greater Good' and 'Conversations' for the first time which went down right well, and me & Ste previewed 'All Time High' acoustically which is a new one I wrote which has bags of potential.

The 15 or so shows that followed had far too many highlights for me to ramble on about them all. In particular we loved the trip to Devon, and the London-Brighton weekend, both of which as we could just hang out as a band and have a laugh aside from all the music aswell.

Altho' we'd had some good coverage locally I dont think we ever expected the single launch @ the Academy in Sheffield would be packed out within an hour and we'd have to turn people away, but at least we managed to give em some free CD's.

That show was the best rush I've had playing live ! We did a longer set so we got to throw in some old faves of ours such as 'Life' and 'Sleepin Vixen'. I just remember looking out at like a sea of people and thinking christ, how have they all fitted in one room, so thanks to everyone who came/was involved with that night as it was very special for me and the other lads.

A few days after I got a text sayin 'Check out the Radio 1 Indie Charts'  and logged in and was well chuffed to see we had entered at No7, to say it was our first single and hadnt had lots of national exposure. Top 40 woulda been nice lol, but in all honesty it was a great start for us !

After that we hit Manchester & Furness Fest, which were both top shows, and then finally Party in the Park, which was a nice end to the tour as it was back in Sheff and outdoors where we really come into our own. A big thanks while I'm on about P.I.P to all the Bebo fans who turned up for it, great to see you all !!

Since then we've taken a few weeks off to chill out, enjoy the only week of sun this summer and have a bit of free time again.

I'm a pretty active person tho' so I'm writing again and am getting a bit revved up to get back into the swing of things again so we are chatting at the moment about what we're doing next.

As soon as we know about any shows/releases/competitions etc it will be announced on here first, so stay tuned as its only the End of the beginning !

Ta for your support over the last 3 months
