The end of the year.

We played the Assembly Rooms in Derby on Friday. It was strange as it was more a C Blows set rather than a Ghost Twins one. Same C Blows set-up, a few different songs. We covered White Light / White Heat by the Velvet Underground which was very enjoyable. We've set the release date for the album for March 25th. It'll be available digitally from then and the vinyl will be out a couple of weeks later. If we can get the vinyl out for the 25th that'd be great. There might be a backlog at the pressing plant though with Record Store Day being in April. We're also playing at The Chocolate Factory in Derby on March 28th. It's a Holy Smokes / Format night and Islet are headlining. It'll be our album launch. There will be more info soon.

Christmas Gig

We'll be playing our only gig before the release of the album in a couple of weeks time. Initially we weren't going to do anything for a while but our friends Lostalone asked us to open up their annual Derby Christmas gig. We did it last year and had a blast so we're opening a four band bill which includes Attention Thieves and again our buds Max Raptor. We should be doing something a little different for our set (we actually don't have a fucking clue what we're going to do) as we're still in the studio finishing the album. Either way it's going to be a great way to end the year. Tickets are available HERE.

Cassette

The 'Unknown Animal / Dream on / Dream off' double A-side has been released on Cassette by Feliciano. The cassette is a 12 song split with our former-selves, Crushing Blows. The cassettes look lovely and are available from the Feliciano Big Cartel page here. They are also available directly from us at gigs.
