NEWS AND GIG UPDATES

We were delighted to feature in Jim Gellatly's New Music column in The Sun the other week.  It was great exposure for us not only in the national press, but also on the airwaves. Jim was good enough to play 'Sometimes' on his In Demand show on Tay FM, Forth FM and Northsound Radio.

We also made a fan in the shape of Reverend and the Makers, who heard us on Jim's show whilst they were being interviewed.  If you missed The Sun that day, here's the press clipping for you:

We are well under way with the new EP 'When Traditions No Longer Answer Our Questions', which should hopefully be finished by mid-November.  The record shall feature (in no certain order): 'Windows of our Times Collide', 'Everywhere is Here, 'A Little Precarious'. 'Light is Rising' and an acoustic version of 'Keep On'.  As with 'Tomorrow Belongs to a World Apart', we're working with Chris Kay from Cancel The Astronauts and recording it at his studio in Markinch.



It's great to see Kingdom Cuts up and running again, people like Kev Quinn and Jim are important to unsigned bands and they do a great job, so tune into the show! You can find it here at its new home, which is:  http://www.existenceradio.co.uk/ and Kev also contributes a music column on Fife bands here: http://dalgetybaytoday.co.uk/?p=1221 (ironically this one features us).

On the gig front we're busy as always.  We played a new live music night at Glasgow's Buff Club on Friday there and are a late edition to the bill for Oxjam at Electric Circus in Edinburgh this Thursday.  Cancel The Astronauts and Matt Norris and the Moon are also on that rather stellar looking line up and it's for a good cause!

Our gig schedule upto December is as follows:

 ****UPCOMING GIGS****

* Oxjam, Electric Circus, EDINBURGH, 25th October*

Peace

Calm as the Colour on NME TV

Well those good folks at the NME got hold of our video for 'Sometimes' and put it up on their site ('A Day to Do Whatever' live is up there too) which is pretty cool! Let's hope it leads somewhere eh!

MODERN DAY music means that the internet is an all important way for bands to get the word out and us lads at Calm as the Colour HQ would like to share with our fans a couple of bands that are not only good friends of ours, but we think you guys may like a lot. Spread the love!

THE BEAUTIFUL SLEAZY

These Cambridge-based rockers are a cracking psychedelic garage rock band- think of Kasabian and T-Rex and you're in the right direction.  Their 70s guitar riffs and stunning vocals from frontman Dan Cahill have seen this band earn a sterling reputation for their live set up and down the country, which has earned them slots on both BBC Introducing's live stages and radio shows.   They recently released their debut album 'All fired up', which you can buy on iTunes, so go buy it!

CANCEL THE ASTRONAUTS

THIS QUIRKY five-piece from Edinburgh recently released their debut album 'Animal Love Match' to critical acclaim.  These guys have been around for a few years now and have gone from strength to strength ever since. They can boast such achievements as a live set for Vic Galloway, a support slot with both Graham Coxon and Frightened Rabbit, and playing T in the Park in 2011.

This is indie-pop music at it's original and best; their melodic guitar hooks and synth driven-sound, coupled with a powerful, rocky drum beat provide the stage for singer Matt's fantastic lyrics and emotive vocal delivery. Just as the music threatens to get a little 'too pop', they throw in a healthy bit of ambient shoegazey guitars to keep things fresh. Check out the video for 'Intervention' from the album.
