New stock & Update

For those people who haven't yet been able to get hold of a copy of the recent "Oi Va Voi" album we are pleased to announce that it is now available to buy from our web shop. We also ship globally so if you haven't yet managed to get a copy locally, now is your chance.

Whilst the lack of recent activity may suggest that the band has been hibernating for the winter the truth is that they have actually been working hard writing and rehearsing songs for the next album, which should hopefully see the light of day this year. Shows are also being planned for the summer and beyond so watch this space for further developments...

Site Update

Our crack website team has been hard at work refining the web site in the ongoing effort to bring you fresh and interesting content.

The most notable addition is on the music page where not one, not two, but three(!) new tracks have been added. Two of them are remixes of Yuri taken from the difficult-to-obtain remix EP and the third is the vocal version of Nosim, previously only available as a bonus track on the Israeli release of Oi Va Voi. Go listen now.

Elsewhere the blog has also been overhauled, not only is it now more visually arresting (i.e. with photos) but there's also a brand new entry from Andy - our sound man.

Check back soon as we have more exclusive content planned...

Single Of The Week

By popular vote "Yuri" has been voted Single Of The Week on Mark Radcliffe & Stuart Maconie's Radio 2 show this week. It was up against stiff competition from Manic Street Preachers, Gogol Bordello and Amy Winehouse. This means that it will be played every night on the show (Mon - Thurs, 8 - 10pm) on 88-91FM or online.

If you like the track then why not drop in on the Radio 2 Message Board to let everyone know. If enough people do that they'll have to play it more!
