November Playlist

We’ve never bothered doing things like spotify playlists before, but seeing as it’s far too cold to venture outside, i’ve put together a little compilation to keep you entertained.

Here’s the URL; http://open.spotify.com/user/joehaho/playlist/3Jti0mIpmeghkNIGxeaRwK

Enjoy! J

p.s. a lot of what i wanted to include wasn’t available, so, also check out Real Estate, Erics Trip, Little Wings and The Bloggers.

Home again…

We’ve just arrived back in Stonehaven having completed a string of UK shows with Los Campesinos! and Sparky Deathcap. It was by far THE BEST TOUR we’ve ever been involved with and we’d like to thank LC! for having us along for the ride! Mini filmed a bunch of junk, so hopefully some kind of semi-descriptive tour video will appear very soon. Also, massive, massive thanks to gav glove for helping us out – go team!
