Evening peoples! Things are about get very crazy for The Small Hours. We’ve been working day and night to put together a demo CD and by some miracle it’s looking like we may actually have it ready for our upcoming shows. We’re calling it ‘pieces’ and it will be very special indeed. There’ll only be 100 copies available and each comes in a unique, hand made case. Yes, we are lunatics. If you want one, you’ll have to come to one of shows. This shouldn’t be too much of a problem, considering we’re playing so many!
Things kick of on Thursday (tomorrow) at The Hopetoun when we team up with two excellent bands in Bird Automatic and The Seabellies. It’s exciting stuff and should be a great night. If you wanna catch us, make sure you’re there by 8.30.
The following night, we take the show to Wollongong for some Friday night madness. It’s free and it’s Wollongong. We’ll leave it to your imagination to fill in the rest.
Providing we’re still alive, we’ll be heading back to Sydney for a third night in a row on Saturday as we play the Silent Riot mini festival at The Abercrombie Hotel. It’s 5 bands for $5 so should keep even the most economically minded music lovers happy. It’s also for charity so you’d have to be evil not to come. We play at 11 so for once you don’t have to come out while the sun’s still up. Yay!

Update
The blog's been a bit dead lately, but we swear we've busy. That's not much of an excuse, but we promise we'll try harder. Here's a quick rundown of what's been happening and what's to come:
We're looking to finally record some of our newer songs as well as redo some oldies. They'll be put out on a free sampler cd and hopefully will be ready for our July shows. It will have some ridiculously cool artwork and be released in very limited supply. Get excited.
We've picked up a couple of extra gigs meaning July will be even more massive than it was already going to be. On the 7th we'll be at The Abercrombie in some sort of festival. We actually don't know too much about it yet, but you can head here for details. We'll also be playing a show with Soft Tigers on the 24th which is guarenteed to be a heap of fun.
In other news, Mercy Arms have been added to our Newcastle gig, making it even bigger. It would also seem like our band comp quarter final has been moved to the following Friday, on August 3rd, but we'll clarify that soon.
We also shot a few band photos which you may see popping up here or there. They were done in dirty old Granville in the freezing cold, but actually turned out alright. We're using them for some posters which we're hoping to put around the place. Look out for them!
We'll have more details as they come in. Stay tuned.

Sound Emissions
For those FBI listeners out there (and that should be all of you), you may have heard about a promo disc they're giving away to supporters called Sound Emissions. It's full of great Sydney bands including Dappled Cities, Belles Will Ring and, lucky us, The Small Hours!
The only way you can get your hands on this CD is by signing up to become a supporter, so you better get your act together. You also go into the running for all sorts of massive prizes, but these all pale in comparison to the coolness of this CD. You have until June 22 to cash in, so don't miss out!
Many thanks to FBI!

Spectrum Shenanigans
The gig at Spectrum last night went good by all accounts. It was great to finally play on a night when ordinary people leave their house. Nothing like reaching out to that mainstream audience. Next stop, The O.C. Thanks to everyone who came, the crowd was plentiful which is always good.
Everything seemed to go according to plan, which is a miracle, considering how temperamental the little keyboard can be (it gets upset and turns itself off if you don't treat it just right). We tried a spacey version of Another Girl, which was good fun, but expect to see it evolve even further as time progresses. It will make Darwin himself proud.
Cloud Control were great as always. We even managed to score ourselves a couple of ultra exclusive Cloud Control bags, so look out for us walking around, oozing indie cred. Hopefully we get to play with those guys again some time in the (near) future. Look out for some photos (and maybe videos!) from the night, coming soon
Other than that, I guess we'll see you at the Hopetoun on the 13th! Or 14th.....sometime around then...
