A long shot, but just in case you're in London on monday and fancy a mellow night out:
To mark the tenth anniversary of the release of Arco's debut e.p. Longsighted, we're playing a gig in London! This is the only Arco performance on UK soil since October 2004. As our next UK gig will, therefore, quite probably be in 2011, I would suggest it might be worth popping along.
Here are the details:
on Mon 18th August arco play the electroacoustic club @ The Slaughtered Lamb 34-35 Great Sutton St London EC1V 0DX (Farringdon / Barbican / Old Street tube - directions) Doors 8pm, on stage probably around 9-9:15pm £6 door, £5 advance.
ARCO began making music in 1998, releasing the "longsighted" and "ending up" eps on dreamy records in the uk. then came the "coming to terms" album in 2000 (also on pehr (us) and pastel in korea), the "transparency" compilation (2002) on pehr, and the "restraint" album (2004). in 2005 they played a short tour of the us west coast, and they are recording again in 2007.

Hi Nova! Dave from Arco here... Come and have a listen to my band Penguin Party if you have time... I'd love to know what you think. Hopefully arco will be playing in Korea soon. Maybe we'll see you there? : )
