Here's a really nice review and some photos of our gig last week for The Folkroom at The Harrison.
We played acoustic versions of seven new tracks from our second album, coming out later this year. Thanks so much to Mike Urban at Urban75.org!
Mark is away on a trip around the world now until May, but the second album is finished and ready for release soon!
For all your Christmas Cavalry needs! All free downloads... enjoy!
We've only played one gig in 2017, but we've had a busy year. We've completed recording on our second album (difficult second album? Maybe!) and actually have probably made a good start on album 3... we recorded 20 tracks and have picked half of them for the second album.
2017 also saw Toby having a baby so taking a break, and Dan leaving the band to concentrate on his other project Stables. We're pleased to announce that Ian will be joining the band in 2018, and will debut at our show on 14th Feb. We've been in the rehearsal room with him this month and all is going well!
Our plan for 2018 is to release the album at the end of the summer (as Mark is off round the world for the first half of the year), and we're all really looking forward to getting back into playing shows with the new material!
But yep... that's what we've been up to! Busy behind the scenes...
Here's a mixtape Mark from the band has put together full of weird and wonderful (mainly weird) music found down the back of sofa's... enjoy!
It's time for our bi-annual Christmas Cover! We present: "Merry Christmas Everyone", our Shakin' Stevens cover! You can download it for free and add it to your playlists from here: https://thelostcavalry.bandcamp.com/album/a-cavalry-christmas along with our previous covers, all as one lovely mini-album!
Merry Christmas everyone!
We're very aware that we're taking AGES to get album number two done! :-) But I promise we really are making good progress (but even so, don't expect it soon!) We have 18 tracks to choose from, with about 2/3 of them recorded or partially recorded. It's all sounding great - it'll be worth the wait I promise!
We're playing an acoustic set at The Meyer Dancers: Santa Takes A Trip on the 10th Dec, details and tickets here: https://www.facebook.com/events/937695476374941/.
A few festival announcements!
18/6/2016 we'll be playing at Wildfire Festival (9:30pm, Campfire stage). 30/7/2016 we'll be playing at Leefest Festival: The Neverland... almost certainly the band who have played at Leefest more times than any other band! And the day after on 31/7/2016 we'll be playing on the main stage at this years Chilled In A Field festival.
For everyone on Valentines Day - our cover of the classic 'Like Someone In Love' written in 1944 by Jimmy Van Heusen, with lyrics by Johnny Burke and made famous by Bing Crosby in March 1945.
You can download the track for free from our bandcamp page.
Lyrics: Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars, Hearing guitars like someone in love, Each time I look at you, I'm limp as a glove, And feeling like someone in love. Lately I seem to walk as though I have wings, Bump into things like someone in love, Sometimes the things I do astound me, Mostly whenever you're around me. Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings, Bump into things like someone in love, Each time I look at you, I'm light as a cloud, And feeling like someone in love.
Here are some photos from our recent show at The Magic Garden, thanks to Mike from Urban75.
