So as many of you may or may not be aware, we are on a bit of a self imposed hiatus. Things just weren't feeling as good as they should, and we thought it the best thing to do to avoid complacency and stagnation. Will definatley be back at some point though!
The purpose of this post is to let anyone know who may be interested what we are all up to at the moment with some new, and some previously existing projects.
Firstly, Josh : His other band Quiet Steps have almost finished a new album with Brisbane's digital super star Dave Williams. It is the swift follow up to last years "Think Aloud" which can be purchased now on CD from Seaby Records....

New stuff is a bit of a departure from "Think Aloud" but is as incredible as you would expect from them. Think less Suis La Lune, more Pinback, more fucking amazing! No news yet on a release date but im sure if you check there Facey page there will be news soon!
The other super exciting news from them is that they have just announced a little-over-a-week long East Coast tour with Californians Comadre. You can check all the details for that here....

It was recorded and mixed by Stephen Bartlett at White Horse Studio and mastered by Harris Newman, whose prior work includes The Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade and Silver Mt Zion. We are super happy with how it sounds! No news on a release date for that yet either but we will be putting up the first "single" from it for free download on Monday May 23 at...

Myself and Josh have also been jamming on a new City Of Caterpillar worship band with our friends Cam and Dan (who were in the King Of Red Lions). Sure we will have a name and some details soon!
And finally (sorry about the ridiculous rant) myself, Errol and Josh have been jamming on a new project with our friend Robb (who plays drums in Quiet Steps) called Make More. Its coming together nicley and we plan to record in the next few months. Our first little mission is a QLD tour with Sydney indie heart throbs Let Me Down Jungleman.
We are taking in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Rockhampton and Ipswich July 21st-24th. Full details of that, as well as any other news can be found at..
