Hope everyone is enjoying the lovely sunshine, here is a quick update from Crayonland…

We had a busy March, new songs in the set, gigs in London including the famous Barfly. The best thing about March though was coming back to Oxford after a long time waiting for slots to come up to play the Oxfringe new music competition. Whilst we did not go through to the final round of bands (one of whom would play the Bob Harris stage at Oxford’s Truck festival), we did have the best reception of any gig since so many of our friends came to see us at The Peel. Thank you to everyone who made it, it was really a good show made great by the fantastic audience.

This month sees us play a show for Daisy Rodgers promotions at the Jericho Tavern with some excellent up and coming bands; ex-Supergrass’ Charly Coombes and the New Breeds as well as Alphabet Backwards. (23rd of April, cheap tickets available up until a few days before from http://www.wegottickets.com/event/77919)

In addition, a decision was made to start recording some more tracks, so look out for those in the coming months as we get to grips with trying to find gear, good sounding rooms and the interminable process of recording itself. Hopefully we’ll still have time to rehearse, write and gig, so hopefully see you soon.
Much love
Crayon
