So where were we? Oh yes, last year we went to Japan and played, we released a Box Set that we’re all very proud of and then Michelle left the band we were very lucky that Henrik joined the band and then we played the Christmas party…… PHEW! I guess I should fill you all in a bit more. So, the Christmas party was at our studio in London Bridge. Expectations were running high as this was the last time we held a party at the studio before it closed at the beginning of 2013.

So, to make amends I’m going to write a ‘superblog’. This is the same as a normal blog, just with some words in ‘inverted commas’. It’s been buzzing down at Farrah HQ on the banks of the Thames. Last week we played a short but sweet London show at the 02 Academy Islington. We got to dust off the cobwebs from our live set and play some tunes to a boozy and appreciative crowd. Highlights of the set included Dana playing Glockenspiel and drums at the same time (!) and also the chance to showcase our new single Scarborough which is out now and getting some airplay. Indeed, it was made single of the […]
