   About HOT monocles
Firstly, we would like to apologise for being so quiet these last few months, you deserve more! However, you'll be delighted to know we are keeping busy - here's the story....

As much as we all love playing gigs, we came to the decision a few months ago that playing the same songs at the same venues every couple of weeks wasn't the best use of our time and efforts. We realised we wanted more! And so, we have taken a break from gigging and we are currently in the process of recording our first album with independent label BiziB Records. I'm not allowed to say too much as THEY have spies everywhere, but I will tell you that so far it's sounding awesome! Only a few of the songs have been recorded before, the rest are brand new, so for the most part it will be a new listening experience to all (except us. WE know how the songs go, but that's ok we're allowed to.)

The plan is to finish recording in the next month or two and get all the other producing and publishing stuff (what I understand not so well!) done by early next year, hopefully leading to an album release very shortly afterwards. So by early next year, we should get round to what we promised last time we updated this page, ie. lots of lovely gigs! Just in case any more shows do present themselves before that time, please don't worry - we will let you know! In the mean time, we hope you don't forget about us, and are looking forward to the release of this album as much as we are.

For reading all of that boring stuff, I'll treat you to a couple of videos of our latest performance, featuring two new songs, recorded live at Stratford College as part of the Reverb show.

We'll keep you informed of any updates and will see you real soon :)

Well we've been rather hectic with gigs and got a few more lined up this week and up until Xmas - then we plan on easing up a bit so that we can take some time out to write some new material - then we hope to get into the recording studio to record our first album. How's about you guys - did you take the recording prize from O'Neills or the instruments ?
