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!
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!
Got an email this morning telling us we'd made it through to the showcase stage at slicethepie.com! For those of you who've never heard of it, slicethepie is a site where bands/artists get their songs reviewed, and users of the site get paid to review them. The artists that achieve the highest ratings get to compete in a showcase and the winners (decided in a vote) are then eligible for financing (of up to £15,000) to produce an album.
Simple huh?! Well anyway, we made it into the top 14 acts out of 1000 and are now entered into the indie/rock showcase. This means that we have a real chance of winning the money...and most importantly of getting our new material out in album form!
Of course, in order to do this we need to draw upon the support of everyone we can by getting those who know us to sign up and vote for us (as all the other bands will be doing this also). Joining slicethepie and voting in the showcase is free. It only takes a minute to register here, and once you have registered you can actually start earning money (and yes they really do pay out) by reviewing the various acts in the arena stages. You can view the indie/rock showcase, check out the various acts, and vote - for us of course:) - here
It's all very exciting for us as, at the very least it is a great promotional opportunity....we'd really appreciate any support from you guys in voting and/or spreading the word!
Finally, just a quick reminder that we'll be playing at RoTa at Notting Hill Arts Club this saturday afternoon. It's a free gig and will be showcasing several Shifty Disco bands including Gilbert and Kings of Spain. Bands are on from 4-8pm and we should be onstage around 5.30pm. We should hopefully have our projections back up and running for this one, assuming I can collect all the gear I (stupidly..) left behind at a gig in Nottingham last week!

Quick update about our London gigs for this month, the first of which will be at The Dublin Castle, Camden on Mon 19th November (see poster and flyer below). We haven't played there for a while and are really looking forward ot this one, not least because we're going to be trying out some new songs for the first time. We'll be on first though (about 8.30pm-ish) so get down there early if you can!
We'll also be playing at RoTa @ Notting Hill Arts Club the following saturday (24th Nov) as part of a Shifty Disco showcase event which will be featuring some great bands and will be well worth checking out. The saturday RoTa gigs are in the afternoon (4-8pm) and are FREE admission too - definitely not to be missed! Look forward to seeing some of you down there if you can make it..
