Gone recordin’

Hi everyone,

We hid ourselves away for a while to rehearse a couple of new songs before going into the recording studio for a week to record four songs towards an album. One of the new songs is called Leñador and there is a video of our first ever live performance of it right here for you all!

Leñador - The Lasting Days

 

We also just revamped our myspace page - there are some new vids on there as well as a studio recording of Oh! Sugar, recorded by the excellent Dan Mann and Nick Marshall who are helping engineer and produce our album - more on that soon!

Josephine Avenue

We’ve been gigging quite a bit lately, we had great fun at the Good Ship in London, and we always love playing at the Golden Lion in Bristol. Tonight we’re off to Mr Wolfs, which in many ways feels like home for us. It’s actually going to be our last gig for a little while - we’ve got a pile of new songs that we want to work on and we have also started pre-production for our next record. We’re going to demo some old and new songs in April, take some time to reflect on them, and then go into the studio for a few weeks at the start of May. Well, we hope to see some people tonight for some beer, music and noodles

The Lasting Days’ snow day

Well we woke up and there was snow…

… a lot of snow. However with the aid of a big ol’ 4 by 4 (to get us out of the centre) and a fair amount of good luck we made it by train to our first London gig of 2009 at London’s famous Hope and Anchor. We’re very glad that we did as there were a lot of people that turned up and we want to thank you very much!

The after party was epic, and we want to say another huge thanks to Gareth and JR for putting us up

Next up, Start the Bus in Bristol with Soy un Caballo.

The new year so far…

Well, it’s been a busy start to the year already, Pete was travelling over Christmas and New Year and had hardly set foot off the plane before we all went into a studio to record a demo of Oh! Sugar for some of our friends over on the Music Technology course at UWE - it was a lot of fun and we’re looking forward to getting the mix in the next few weeks, thanks to Nick, Greg, Dan and Nik. We will also be going into the studio very, very soon to record a new record. Anyway, on Friday we had our first gig with our whole new line-up at the Porter Cellar Bar in Bristol, thanks to everyone who came along!

There’s a couple of London gigs coming up so check the listings
