Say hi to Duncan, our new drummer!
Anyone who’s down with the kids will know he used to play in a day called desire.
His first shows with us are this weekend in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Come out and say hello!
We’ve also got a huge merch sale on. Everything is massively cheap for the next month. There is limited though. Check everything out on the right hand side there >

Hi Everyone.
Thought I’d drop a quick post to say Merry Christmas(!!!) – and to let you know what we’ve been up to and what’s happenin.
For anyone that doesn’t already know, Mykee left a couple of months ago, so we’ve been taking our time over figuring out what we’re gonna do next.
We’ve got a couple of shows in January, both of which will be with our new drummer!
There are links to get tickets over there >
We’ll announce who it is soon enough but rest assured, he’s fucking sick, a perfect gentleman, and beats the shit outa his drums – which is all you can ask :]
We’re gonna do a run of shows in March – one of which is booked already with the Automatic at King Tuts. Email us if you want tickets for that one.
Finally, we’re recording our debut album in June, probably followed by a run of dates in September / October.
Ace!
So most of 2010 is gonna be spent writing for the new record, which we’ve already started. New stuff is sounding wicked. Can’t wait!
Hope everyone has a good Christmas and New Year. Looking forward to chucking some horns with you in the new year!
Merry Christmas!!
Ali

Tomorrow night’s show will be Mykee’s last. I think he might post a wee goodbye next week.
If you’re coming to the show be sure to wish him well :]
We’ll be partying at the southern (on south clerk street) as well as playing a wee acoustic show after the show at electric circus. Gonna be an awesome night.
Just to confirm and to avoid any rumours, there’s been no gay little spat or anything. Nor are there ‘musical differences’. He just doesn’t want to do the write, tour, record cycle any more for lots of reasons.
I don’t think there’s much else to say just now.
love love

There’s also gonna be an AFTERPARTY, which we’re gonna be doing a special wee acoustic show at.
It’s at the Southern Bar, North Bridge (Opposite the big blockbuster up the bridges).
Entry is Freeeee and there’ll be more DJ sets etc going down(town).
That’s 10pm-1am, and you’ll get £2 entry into the Hive (11pm-3am) afterwards with your stamp from the show at Electric Circus.

Hiya! Just a wee note to say that Marc Aspinall, the clever wee swine behind our artwork is featured in this months computer arts magazine, and they chose to feature our EP artwork from all the cool stuff he’s done.
Nice.
You can grab it in WHSmith and (possibly) your local newsagents.
Marc also added the artwork to his portfolio which you can find here
We’re back to writing and rehearsing. We’ve got a halloween show coming up and hopefully a wee tour in November. Just sorting out the details innit.
See you soon!

We’ve been on tour all week and we haven’t posted a blog yet cause we’re rubbish. We haven’t had much access to the interwebs other than on our phones which is what I’m using to write this just now so if it’s got lots of spelling mistakes or I use a word like ‘book’ where you think I should have said ‘cool’ it’s the phones fault not mine.
We’re on our way to Leeds at the moment for our last show with Straight Lines. It’s been wicked playing with them every night. They’re awesome live and hanging out with them all week has been good times.
We’ve played some really fun shows and hung out with some rad people. Cardiff and Birmingham were definately highlights. Looking forward to Glasgow tomorrow night! We have tones of video footage and piccies which I’m sure we’ll post over the next week or so once we’re home.
Say hi if you’ve been to a show or you’re coming tonight/tomorrow. Sorry to everyone in Edinburgh that we don’t have a show for this tour but with the festival going on, venue’s hire prices were super high or they were block booked for shows. We’re playing on Halloween at the electric circus which is a Saturday night this year so that show should be amazing. Might even do a couple of cheeky covers. Requests? : )
Thanks to everyone that’s come and seen us this week. Hope you had as a good a time as we did. Will post all those pics and videos later this week!

Scottish quartet To Catch A Thief are fast becoming a seriously exciting proposition. With a sound that encompasses riff-based heaviness, massive melody and emotionally charged intensity, they are like a distillation of what makes modern guitar based music thrilling.
The proof of this can be seen in 'Curious Tales and Fierce Beasts' (the band's third EP), due for release on August 10 2009 on Colour In Records. Building on the success of both 2008's 'Your Eyes Will Burn' and 2007's eponymously titled EP's, this five tracker is a jaw-droppingly accomplished record.
i'm intrigued, tell me more...
i'm done reading, minimise that shit.
Produced with startlingly clarity and power by Romesh Dodangoda (Funeral For A Friend, Kids In Glass Houses), the five tracks all display an uncommon maturity and depth. 'Not Guilty' is a driving anthem layered with intricacy and performed with the deftest of touches. (And possessed of the kind of chorus that musical empires are founded on!).
'1000 Miles Away' is a gentle invocation that ebbs and flows until suddenly bursting into a goose bump inducing climax.
And 'The Hunted', capably demonstrates the band's addictive blend of passion and aggression.
"We couldn't be happier with the new record," says frontman Ali Lane, "We've really moved forward, developed our sound, and written the record we knew we were capable of writing. We couldn't have written the songs that we have without playing the amount of shows we have done in the last 2 and a half years, and without going through the natural progression that we have done."
Indeed the band have readily embraced the age old ethos of 'make it happen on the road'. Lengthy tours have honed and sharpened their sound immensely. And the band have no intention of stopping anytime soon.
"As far as the future goes, we'll keep touring as much as we can and hope people are into this record. We wanted to write a record that people will fall in love with and I think we've done that."
