Record-o-tron

Yo,
Quick update from us here. We've been busy in the studio over the past couple of weekends, recording a new EP, which we hope to have released in November!
So far we've done six tracks, played with lots of guitar amps, made lots of emergency trips to get kettle chips, laughed at terrible vocal takes and shot some videos. (Tom is compiling them into an A-Z we hope to post here soon!)

Anyway, if anyone is desperate for updates follow us on twitter.

That's all for now!

A splash of paint...

Hey hey.

The more observant of you/obsessive stalkers may have noticed our myspace has changed slightly to take advantage of the new myspace beta thing. I think myspace has needed an overhaul for a good few years, compared to many social networking sites it was an absolute dog to use, so this is a welcome change. Feedback on the new gubbins appreciated- what should we put on there? (More high angle photos with the contrast whacked up? I think this is a trend that is sadly dying out.)

In other news, we gigged a bit more and have some new local friends in Worselings (I'm under strict instructions not to call them 'The Worselings'- so hecklers, that's their Achilles heel) who I would advise you to check out.

This weekend we are heading to the Doghouse studio in Sneinton to record the follow up to the Triceratops EP, which was not really an EP, just a collection of early demos. If things go to plan, it will be released in November on Bad News Records. At this time we hope to have a launch party too, complete with cake! (Everyone loves cake)
We're also looking at getting some tshirts made up, once we've got a design that we like. (Currently I feel that tshirt design has reached an unassailable peak since seeing a 40-something man wearing a tshirt reading "^this guy needs a beer". Where can fashion go after that?)

Anyway, that's all for now. If you need a Fresh Eyes fix before then, we'll be spouting rubbish on our twitter (@FreshEyesShout) or feel free to leave us a message on our facebook group.

Keep it real.

Sunday 1 August 2010

Hey hey, it's Nicholas again.

Firstly, thanks to Clique Claque for putting us on last Friday, it was lots of fun, and to Cissy and Escapologists. I also apologise to anyone who saw us in advanced states of perspiration, I've learned to never wear a grey shirt when gigging again. But yeah, it was a good night.

Gigs
If anyone has the Monday blues*, we have the perfect cure:
Godzilla Black + Fresh Eyes for the Dead Guy + Worselings at the Maze, Nottingham on Mansfield Road. (Facebook event) Doors at 8pm, though I'm not sure of the cost. (I'd guesstimate at around £3.)

For anyone in the 'West Midlands', we're playing in Walsall on Friday the 6th August (Facebook event here) at the 'Wharf Bar'. I've never been to Walsall before, so I'm kind of excited about this cultural journey, even if the proximity of the M6 Toll Road makes me uneasy.

Other Stuff
In a couple of weeks we will be heading back into the dark recesses of 'the studio' once again, to record a follow up EP to Triceratops. (Which was really more of a compilation thing..) We're not 100% on which tracks yet, as we're writing songs quicker than we can think up titles for them.

That's all for now...
Laters
