19/7/10 : Waves Freeze To Rolling Hills EP Launch Party - 8:30pm Weds 4th August - on a 1930's Dutch barge on the Thames!

To celebrate the release of our debut EP "Waves Freeze To Rolling Hills" we'll be playing a special gig on a boat floating on the River Thames - the Tamesis Dock, a converted 1930's Dutch barge. www.tamesisdock.co.uk. There will be a free copy of our EP to everyone who comes to see us - so be sure to say our name at the door (or do I mean 'boarding platform'?) The boat is moored just south/upriver from Westminster, on the Albert Embankment, SE1 7TP. Tickets available now from Ticketweb for £6 - but remember, that also gets you a free CD! We are playing with the brilliant Thomas Truax... Note that we will be playing at 8:30pm - so don't be late!.

If you can't make it along to the boat launch party then hopefully you can make it to The Lexington, Kings Cross on the Friday night (6th Aug) - we'll be playing at the White Light club night supporting Spencer McGarry Season - www.thelexington.co.uk.

Last week we returned to Camden to play an acoustic song for Balcony TV. We played the second track from our forthcoming EP - 'Secret Steps'. Click the image above to take a look...

17/6/10 : Blythe Hill Acoustic Show

We're playing an acoustic show at the Blythe Hill Festival on the 3rd of July - it's free entry and we're on at 12:20pm. After that it's back to the fully plugged-in shows for a while...

I'm especially looking forward to the bouncy castle, but not the Punch and Judy - that's always seemed a bit creepy to me... all that fighting over sausages...

11/6/10 : Waves Freeze To Rolling Hills

We're please to announce that our debut EP 'Waves Freeze To Rolling Hills' will be released on August 2nd on our own label 'Two Six Heave'.

31/5/10 : Affordable Art Fair

Our next few gigs are acoustic - we're playing a show on BalconyTV.com on Monday 7th and then at the opening night of the Affordable Art Fair at the Harvest Cafe. We're going to play some acoustic versions of our favorites as well as try out some new songs.

We've been busy with our debut EP too - 'Waves Freeze To Rolling Hills' will be released on August 2nd on our own label - Two Six Heave. We're really pleased with it - and Toby our glockenspiel player has created some stunning cover art too...

20/4/10 : Between Two Waves

Between Two Waves - a free indie compilation of 38 songs on 3 volumes - is now available, the fourth compilation project from the EardrumsPop label "a non-profit project from music lovers to music lovers." Our track 'Disappear' features on Volume 1 - a collaboration between us and our friends We Walk On Ice.

We're really proud to be a part of this project - recording the song was a lot of fun and it was great to sing with Ida again. Thanks loads to Leena and the Eardrums guys for inviting us and doing all the work for free!

Download the whole compilation for free from here - we are track 8. You can also listen to our track on our myspace page (and soon on last.fm).

13/4/10 : Recording an EP!

We're please to announce that our first EP is on the way! It will contain four tracks - 'Only Forward', 'The Elephant Of Castlebar Hill' and new mixes of 'Oh Sally' and 'Secret Steps' and is released on August 2nd on our own label - Two Six Heave. More details soon!

Also, the 'Between Two Waves' compilation featuring our recording of 'Disappear' is due for release in about a week - it should be worth the wait.

Toby's away in Japan at the moment, but our next gig will be Bank Holiday Monday 3rd May when he's back, for the 'No One Died' all-dayer at The Old Queens Head, Islington.

1/3/10 : Easter weekend

Over Easter weekend we're heading over to 'No' Recording studios in Southend to spend some time recording two new tracks - 'The Elephant Of Castlebar Hill' and 'Only Forward'. As an added bonus, the recording studio is on a farm...

Also over the bank holiday weekend we have a midnight gig at Wonderland Festival's London party and then at the start of April an acoustic gig supporting David Tattersall of The Wave Pictures.

The facebook page for this event can be found here.

1/3/10 : Is it Spring yet?

Our collaboration song with We Walk On Ice for the "Between Two Waves" project from Eardrums Pop is recorded, mixed and mastered and ready for the mid-March release date... can't wait to let you all hear it. It was really good fun to record and great to work with Ida from We Walk On Ice again, she has a beautiful voice.

Lots of good gigs this month for The Lost Cavalry - including White Heat on Tuesday the 16th and The Windmill in Brixton on Thursday the 18th. x
