Yes, 'Leave' is finally released this week...you can now download it from iTunes, Napster, Amazon and many others. The release goes out with a fantastic remix of 'Cover My Eyes' by the ambient popsters Kyte, which we're sharing here - have a listen and see what you think!

We had a good publicity ahead of the release on 6Music last week where Steve Lamacq gave the single a play and chatted to Chris about the band and about the whole slicethepie thing. You can listen to it again with the BBC player thing here.   

To celebrate the single release, we're having a launch party in the form of a RoTa showcase at Notting Hill Arts Club this Saturday (13th September). It kicks off at 4pm and is FREE admission to all. We'll be hitting the stage at around 7pm but come down early if you can to catch support from fellow slicethepi-ers The Keyz, Themselves and Timothy Edwards!

As if that wasn't enough, when we recover from the inevitable saturday night drunkeness, we're heading over to Proud Galleries, Camden to join another afternoon showcase, this time in support of the hotly tipped Dirty Skirts....it's also FREE (apologies for capitalising that word every time) and is sure to be a great afternoon as there are a load of acts on the bill - we may be looking a little worse for wear by that stage though! 

...we posted again - long overdue in fact! Well at least we have some exciting news to write about anyway. We've now finished the album...well recording-wise that is. It's currently being mixed and we're hoping to have it all ready in the next couple of weeks for a release in mid-late September - which is not much later than we'd originally planned so we've not done too badly! The party will be at Notting Hill Arts Club on Sat 13th Sept and we hope some of you can make it....but more on that later!

We had a great time recording the album with Gavin who has possibly the widest knowledge of music/musicians/artists - ranging from the mainstream to the totally obscure - that any of us have ever encountered! He also has an amazing array of equipment, aquired over the years too including speakers that belonged to the stones, a vintage Neve that allegedly appears in Bowie's Space Oddity video (not sure if I can see it though!) and a custom Shergold once owned by Bernard Sumner that we got to use on a couple of tracks (see below)!

The album is called 'Deletia' and currently consists of 12 tracks (though that may change) including new mixes of 'Stay As You Are' and Cover Your Eyes'. We're really happy with the way everything sounds so far and can't wait to get it out there for people to hear.....In the meantime though, we selected a track called 'Leave' as the first single, which is now all ready and set for release on  8th September. You  can preview it below, so please have a listen and as always, any comments (particularly nice ones) would be greatly appreciated

Finally, just to update you on
some confirmed live dates for next month  - would of course be great to see
any of you can make any of them:
