Hey I see you're playing on Fri... saw you about 6 weeks ago at the barbican theatre and really enjoyed it! I don't suppose you need another act that night at all? Would be perhaps two of us from Yohoghani playing very chilled folky/post rock stuff. Let me know,
Really digging the songs. I'm especially liking track 1 and 9, but they're all really fine stuff. I really want to see a lyric sheet at some point, but from what I'm hearing, you're just really hitting the mark with the words (not to mention the music). Eff, great stuff. Mb
Hey Matt - i really like these songs. Great to hear what your up to at last! Lets meet up soon - I come to Exeter now and then so will give you a call. Cheers Dave
