Geoff Farina & Chris Brokaw

Apologies for my recent stint of quietness. Christmas and work commitments have kept me at bay for a while as I slowly adjusted with the rest of the UK to the recent snow and cold weather which covered our tiny little island. I’ve been “Tweeting” various boring facts of the day, normally the cleanliness of places, on Twitter (want to follow me?). Sporadic spurts of writing continue and I’m hoping to have some form of package collection of songs for your listening pleasure soon – the finer details of what and how this will be released are yet to be decided but I’m hoping for it to be limited and personal; we’ll see.

March 18th marks a very special day; Geoff Farina (Secret Stars/ Karate/ Glorytellers) shall be hitting the UK for the first time in 8ish years to play a special set with Chris Brokaw. I’m thrilled to announce I’m supporting on the first date, and album release party, for this tour at Barden’s Boudoir, Dalston. Tickets are £8 advanced and are already selling fast. If you miss out on tickets there’s a second London date for March 26th at the Luminaire, Kilburn where Former Utopia will be support.

Tickets for the 18th can be purchased from these fine ticket retailers:
wegottickets.com
gigantic.com

More info on the show and special saver passes can be located on the Damnably website.

Linoleum Review

The latest issue of DrunkenWerewolf  Zine features a nice review on my cover of Linoleum. I dig what they’re doing, it’s DIY, has some lovely features and, above all, the download is free so check them out.

Remember you can download the song for free from iLike.com

I’ve learnt in the past to never make promises you can’t keep, so please forgive my lack of updates.

If you’re interested in me playing your town, hit me up and I’ll get down.

Stay safe,

Finally

After some headache of getting this badboy designed I can now say we’re ready to roll. But after all that, I have nothing to update on other than I recorded 3 new demo songs last week “where I was heading” “I think I need an editor” & “untitled #9″ 2 of which you may of heard if you’ve been to the previous few shows. And, like every other band out there, I shall clasp my hands around the fad and wring it until it dies off – The Wolf Choir Twitter.

So I shall leave it as this, a fading haze in my head and a rather lame 2nd post. I’m going to go and finish off season 6 of Buffy. I love the trio.

Enjoy your weekend!
