Planning For The Future!

OK guys! Thought I'd give you a quick update on what we are going to be up to over the next few months and what you can expect from us. I think I will break this down by month, it makes it easier for me.....

June 2009
We aren't going to be doing anything in the way of shows, but we will however be doing lots behind closed doors.
Number One - We are going to be practicing and putting the finishing touches to the songs we have wrote for our album. The songs are pretty much ready to be recorded however playing them over and over and over again means we save a lot of time in the studio and also means we can adapt the songs a bit and maybe add a bit of sparkle here and there.
Number Two - We are self recording some acoustic tracks (one old, two new) which we are releasing as a free split EP with our boys Maycomb (if you don't know who they are - myspace.com/maycombuk)

July 2009
For the first half of July we won't be doing anything except for getting up every morning and heading straight down to the studio in Worcester recording our debut album. To some this may sound like the most tedious thing in the world, however, to me, this will be the best thing about being in a band. Recording songs in the studio is on par with playing live for me!
After we have finished in the studio the album will get sent off for mastering and we will probably get it back early August. Towards the end of July we will heading out on a short tour with our brothers from other mothers, Maycomb (yes those guys again) this is when that split EP we spoke about will be released as well! YAY! It will be totally free to download and also if you come out to one of the shows on the tour we will be giving out free CD copies.

August 2009
We will be getting back into the swing of playing live again, so if there is anywhere you want us to play, don't be shy, drop us a message and let us know! We will be playing loads!

September 2009
We will shooting a video for the first single off the album (we haven't decided which song it will be yet). Its still in the planning stages at the moment but we have a lot of ideas bouncing around, we may end up needing some folks to come down and be in the video so keep checking back around this time.
Again loads more shows!

Early October 2009
This is when all the crazy stuff starts to happen, a single will be released, a video will be released, pre orders for the album will happen, album artwork will be released, new myspace,etc. All good things!

Late October 2009
Album released!!! Bam!!!


There will be loads of other promotional things happening behind the scenes, but don't want to bore you with that! Plus its a secret, if we told you, we'd have to kill you!

So there you have it, a very quick insight into the KD action plan for the next couple months, I know it all seems so far away but time passes so fast! Well that’s what I tell myself. Keep checking back, there will be daily updates from the studio, and updates about everything else. Also we will be touring and gigging in between all these things happening, so make sure you get out to a show.

Much Love
