Busy Bank Holiday & Count Down To Single Release

Hope you all had a great weekend. Ours was a busy one to say the least.

Saturday we travelled over to Gloucestershire to play at the Stroud Fringe festival. We weren’t sure what to expect from it, being a festival we had never been to, but it really was wonderful. Thank you so much to everyone who came to listen, chat and buy music. You all made it such a brilliant day!

One short sleep later we (Sally and Natalie) were back on the motorway in order to get to Insomnia 55 (a gaming festival in Coventry) in time for doors opening. We were dragged along by our younger brother who didn’t want to go by himself, but we actually really enjoyed ourselves and spent most of our time in the retro area playing strange Japanese fighting games, Mario Kart and the like. We’ve also gone and bought ourselves a new games console (so see you all in a few months!)

Monday, it was back to work again. We performed live on Bradley Stoke Radio and promoted our single launch on Friday. It was a bit of a sad evening, having realised it would also be our last radio session with Anja. We held in the tears and got through it, just about.

Which leads us to this Friday when we’re releasing our single “Come Undone/ What Is Left” at the Louisiana, Bristol. We’ve got two amazing supports: Bristol’s own I Am Horse and Della Lupa from Brighton. It will be our last show in Bristol with Anja so we’re making it something special with plans for decorations, projections and collaborations. E-tickets are still available to buy. Can't wait to see you guys there!

Della Lupa

New Single's First Play

We're really happy to announce that the artwork for the limited edition handmade singles has been finalised, and here it is!

More good news is that tonight from 8pm 'Come Undone' will have it's first play on Bradley Stoke Radio. If you want to be one of the first to hear it please do tune in. Really excited to finally let you all hear it.

'Radio Tour'

You may have noticed we seem to have been living in your radio these last few days! It’s been great fun and a bit different having been so involved with various radio stations over such a short period of time.

Believe it or not, we were on BBC Radio Bristol twice on Saturday morning. Natalie took a solo trip down to the Martin Evans Show and we all later went in to chat to Dr Phil Hammond on his show about the upcoming album, as well as playing live in the studio.

We would like to thank BBC Introducing for playing our song Delusion from the new album on the weekend!

Natalie and Sally appeared on Pirate Nation Radio co-presenting alongside James Hyden. Listen again to hear them talking about the album, cats, and playing quirky games!

To finish off our ‘radio tour’ we all had a great time on Bradley Stoke Radio last night on the Jelli Records Music Show playing songs from our new album and talking about our plans for next year.

Radio Shows This Weekend

We're going to be on five radio shows over the next few days before the album launch!

Tomorrow Natalie is on BBC Radio Bristol at 5am where she will be talking about her perfect weekend morning with Martin Evans. Don't worry if 5am sounds a bit early as you will be able to listen again afterwards.

At 11am on Saturday we will be on BBC Radio Bristol with Phil Hammond on his show where we'll be playing a few songs off our album live. 

Then on Sunday between 5 and 7pm Road Signs has been play listed on Ralph's Indie Show on Radio KC and straight afterwards Sally and Natalie will be guest co-hosts with James Hyden on his new show on Pirate Nation Radio at 7pm. 

Finally on Monday we'll be playing live on BradleyStoke Radio at 8pm on the Jelli Records Music Show. If that's not enough of us, this show also goes out on Tuesday at at 10pm on Somer Valley FM!

After that it's the final rehearsals for our launch show at The Louisiana on Thursday! We can't wait!

Album Update, BSR FM & Other News

We like to keep you all updated, so here are some things we've been working on these last few weeks.

Firstly a big thanks to everyone who has pre-ordered the album or bought a ticket to the launch show. Your support and generosity means so much to us. We're listening to the final mastered tracks today and really cannot wait to share them with you. If you're signed up to our mailing list you'll be the first to hear the whole album in it's entirety which we will be streaming on-line in a few days time. Here's a little peek at some of the artwork.

As you may be aware, we are playing at the Underbelly of Hoxton in London tomorrow (16th October). We are really excited to be playing in London again and will tell you all about it when we’re back. To prepare we have been spending lots of time rehearsing our set, and with Anja’s garage getting colder this is becoming good practice for playing with stiff fingers.

During our rehearsals we have even been playing around with some new material – one of our favourite things to do!

We have been meeting with Richard Williams about our ‘Orpheus’ song, putting plans into place for how we will launch the project next year. Watch this space!

Great musical afternoon (listening & plotting) with @RosieSingsSongs @thehoneyfire @Jelli_Records @ArnolfiniArts & various untweetables! :)

On Sunday evening we were on Bradley Stoke Radio with James Hyden for his penultimate show. We had a lot of fun discussing the crazy things that happen to us and eating the cakes we had made, as well as playing a few songs. James has been very helpful and supportive over the years and we thank him for that.

Another exciting thing we have been up to is planning our new video! We loved making the video for Road Signs for you all and can’t wait to be doing it again. Expect vibrant colours, hand-made (and somewhat eerie looking) costumes and various locations. If you have been keeping an eye on our Facebook and Twitter pages, you will have seen glimpses of what we have been making.

Imminent Announcement

Hello!

This blog has been a bit devoid of posts of late. We're aiming to put an end to that shortly but in the meantime this is just a short note warning you of an important and exciting announcement about the band that is coming on the 5th August.

If you can't wait until then we will be giving a little away this Sunday evening on BSR FM on the New and Local Music Show from 7pm. Then on Monday 4th August we are on BCfm on the Bristol Music Show at 9pm where we will be playing a few songs live and making a pre-announcement as well as talking about the new album.

Colston Hall, Bristol

Well, last weekend was a little hectic. There's a few things worth mentioning and this is a little update on what we were up to.

Maxi Rai

Saturday we were lucky enough to have been booked by Bmin (Bristol Music Industry Network) to play in the Colston Hall foyer in Bristol. We had the pleasure of playing alongside the talented singer-songwriter Maxi Rai, who is well worth listening to if you haven't. She began the evening with a brilliant set which we thoroughly enjoyed.

Us on the Foyer Stage at Colston Hall, Bristol

When we stepped onto the stage I was pleased to see a nice sized audience ready to support us, which was really great. Our set had a mixture of old and new songs. Anja finally had the opportunity to join in with our on-mic ramblings. I think she wowed our audience when she produced a saw and played it for our new song 'Unheard Voice'.

Anja on Saw

All in it was a very nice evening and we really appreciated all the support we got from friends and fans alike. Watch out for videos of the evening on our Youtube channel and Facebook page.

On Sunday evening we headed down to the Bradley Stoke Radio station to join in the fun on James Hyden's show. It's safe to say the evening didn't start well. During all the chaos at home we managed to not only leave late, but we also left behind Natalie's bass guitar amp (Whoops!). Luckily we were able to laugh about it and adapted our set. 

It was a fun show involving us playing a few live tracks, and in between, having a few silly conversations – I may have got the giggles once or twice. We discovered that Anja has a problem with a certain fruit and Natalie dislikes....well....pretty much everything.

Our next gig in Bristol is on the 14^th November supporting the Bluetones front man Mark Morriss at The Thunderbolt, Bristol. It's £10 on the door, but we have a £6 cheap list so if you would like your name added just email us at info@wolfhoundlive.com.
