Update
yo people!
Well I have been in spain for 3 weeks which was niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! If you get chance go and see the Alhambra in Granada. It is RIDICULOUS!
Finished a tune whilst out there tho – no rest allowed for us…spent a while in a wee fee café getting the new stuff off our drop box (another sweet thing to use – type dropbox into google). And was floored. There are pics of me sitting listenin to the tracks for the first time in the sun…SO we have lots of new stuff. The songs are written and Vocal and Guitar parts are being refined at the moment. This all equals HELLS YEAH! The new tracks are on another level. We have found our feet with this now and cant wait for you to hear the results.
The Results: these will be aired for the FIRST time at The Glitch Mob show on July 9th. This is gonna be our best one so far – if you miss it you will miss out!!! Full Visuals from our boy Fata Morgana as well. It will be silly!
Tickets and be bought from any of these fine establishments:

Wegottickets: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/82898
FACEBOOK EVENT: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=1 ... 361&ref=ts
New set up live as well – we just spunked a load of money on an amazing interface so should make all the difference.
Got some pics to post – will try to remember – just so fucking busy getting tunes finished – and lets face it. We are in it to write music not type bollox on the internet : )

Busy McBusyson.....
Wow things are hectic...all fun and games though.
So we made a decision to take a little time off from playing live to get a load of new songs finished, and also complete a few other things we have been thinking about of late.
As you may know, Phil, Alison & Luke put on a night called This City Is Ours in Manchester, at which they are also resident DJ's and they have had an idea for a live remix project, which has now finally come to life. All loops, full tracks, Live Synths, MPC's and live manipulated vocals
Going under the name Ord Mantell, they will be playing their first show, This Friday, 14th May at the awesome Future Everything (formerly Future Sonic) festival.
This show is in the Sound Control Bar, which is hosted by This City Is Ours, and also features BLOOM (rwina) from Belfast for his Manchester debut show, and the T.C.I. O residents, Blood Boy, L.S.N & Anytime.
Heres the event info : http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=120513387958663&ref=ts
So as for kites? Well, we are working towards our first show back, which is going to be on the 9th July in manchester. This City Is Ours are outting it on, and i can tell you now, the headliner will have you salivating...should be announced pretty soon!!
So we will have a set of loads of new material sorted as well as the new live show we are currently working on, and we are super excited to show ya'll...Out!

Thanks to Colin, You and the BBC
The BBC Introducing show was soooo good! Massive thanks to Colin the engineer for doing an AMAZING job. Could have kissed the guy when we walked in to soundcheck after what we endured last weekend!
Great crowd as well – thanks to everyone who made it down. Was a complete pleasure! Also to the BBC – really cool people – great to meet you all!
Think our interview and some live tracks will be on the show from next weekend onwards – they played Undoneath last night – thanks for that! But if you want us to hear us speaking incoherently about nothing in particular then tune in!
www.bbc.co.uk/manchester/introducing/
Next gig is at the night and day on April 10th – but we are DJin at Soundcontrol on Saturday night as part of a Manchester residents take over night. Also there will be residents from Hoya Hoya / Mind on Fire / Open Plan and Drum Clinic.
Its like £2 in and cheap drinks all night!!! Should be fun and messy…
