JANUARY
Our original drummer Philippa left the band to pursue her film making career (check out her awesome stuff here). We plan on working on some new music videos with her very soon

…and our new drummer Charlie joined the flock… our new line up looked a little bit like this:

FEBRUARY
Music video for our song Rosary is released, directed by Dominic William Stoate. Watch it here.

We filmed this in his garage on a FREEZING cold day in January. One white dress was suitably ruined and everyone thought we were filming a porno! However, it does look beautiful. Watch the out-takes here. We still have some of the original rorschach images painted by Kelly Mariot, is anyone interested in receiving one? Let us know!

MARCH
We flew to America for the first time as a band to record our album ‘Feast of Hammers’ with the incredible JASON RUBAL at Seventh Wave Studios, PA. This was AMAZING. And SO much fun. We also did four shows with This Way To The Egress and Mister Joe Black. Read the full blog about it here.

Garry and Mishkin with Jason and Michelle, Pennsylvania.

APRIL
We conducted our first video interview where our fans asked the questions… watch it here.

MAY and JUNE was spent playing many gigs including the Meadowlands festival, and we also created the first of our Acoustic Sessions. You can watch them all HERE.

JULY
We went to ROMA to play the Rock City festival with Belladonna…we should be returning to Rome very soon!

…played the Secret Garden Party where Mishkin met her double…

…and Charlie dressed as a dinosaur…

In AUGUST we released another music video and the first single from the new album, Through Ten Walls. If you haven’t seen it yet, GAH! WATCH IT NOW.

We also played with the fantastic Jason Webley in Brighton… watch us covering Leonard Cohen with him here

SEPTEMBER we filmed the unforgettable FEAST OF HAMMERS music video, if you haven’t yet seen it, watch it here… Here is us with all the crew and actors, thank you to all of you!

OCTOBER
We played with several amazing artists, most memorable was Pink Narcissus and A Genuine Freakshow. We also did a mini tour of Ireland over Halloween! We dressed as zombies, of course.

NOVEMBER
We played with She Makes War (incredible solo artist), who we will be playing with again at our ‘Feast of Hammers’ launch party in February. Tickets available HERE.
We also had a live session with Tony Marks on Juice FM.

DECEMBER
We played our final show of the year with The Midnight Lycan Party. And got exceptionally drunk.

We are frankly, exhausted.

Thank you so much to everyone who’s come out to see us this and supported us this year. It’s been incredible, and next year promises to be even better.

As a special Christmas gift to you, we’re revealing a very special acoustic version of one of our new songs, ‘ANCHOR’ as a live music video. You can watch it HERE.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Love,

FACEBOOKS

Later that month we were lucky enough to have a live session on Brighton’s Juice FM with Tony Marks. You can still listen again to us chatting with Tony and playing a very special version of Rosary with extra double bass and drums HERE.

We’ve also begun to gig our new single ‘Incitatus’ which sees us taking an even heavier direction with Garry using distortion for his bass guitar. Apparently this setting = face-melting.

Speaking of our new single… we’ve made a new music video at an incredible location thanks to Polly Harvey (amazing photograher and lady) and Ben Wallace who very kindly let us take over their home, studio and lives for a weekend. I sincerely hope they have recovered! This is ONLY photo I have from one of the nights, so it must have been fun!

The music video for Incitatus will be out in January, please brace yourselves! It is possibly the most ambitious song and video we’ve ever done… here is a little teaser, we’ll be releasing a couple more over December to keep you going!

November finished with a show at The George in London (lovely venue) with Rasp Thorne and The Briars where we witnessed our first Birdeatsbaby tattoo – AWESOME.

…and we also played the Juice FM showcase in Brighton where this photo was taken. ROAR.
