Listen to previews of ‘I, Yeah!’

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Our new album is out in under a week!

To celebrate, we’ve created an album minisite at iyeah.co.uk.

From there you can listen to previews of the new tracks. It’s also the place to go to buy the album come April 1st. 

Riverside Tavern gig CANCELLED

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

For reasons beyond our control, the Riverside Tavern gig in Newport next week has been cancelled.

Apologies to those of you who were coming along. We recommend you make the trip over the bridge to our April 1st ‘I, Yeah!’ album launch gig instead, where we have a cracking line-up and will be giving away downloads of the album.

We hope to reorganise the Newport gig with Deano, the promoter, once he has sorted out a new venue for his nights…

Music downloads - were broken, now fixed again

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

We had a problem with our music downloads for the last few days. Some of you may not have been able to physically download the tracks from our site, even though they were there and should’ve worked ok.

The offending code has now been found and corrected…

If you experience any problems using the site, please contact our webmaster - webmaster at fablesofglow dot com.

Album news and upcoming gigs…

Monday, March 10th, 2008

We are pleased to announce that, after a year of hard work, our album is ready for you!

You will be able to download it from our website on 1st April. 

It will be available as a set of high quality MP3 files, with a full colour booklet of lyrics and artwork, and the package will be just £5.

(And no, this is not an April Fool!  We really have finished it!)

To celebrate this momentous event in the history of mankind, we will be doing a gig that very night at the Louisiana, in Bristol. We’ve hooked up with the excellent Nova Robotics and the fabulous Yes & No, to put on a show of the best music around.  These guys are really special, so it promises to be a first class, première league event.  Bring as many people as you can possibly think of to this.  It’s gonna be a knockout! 

Also, this coming Sunday 16th, we’ll be doing a super-rare acoustic show at the Thekla Social, also in Bristol.  It’s part of the Under The Influence series, where bands get to spin some of the discs that they love.  We’ll be following this up with a set of unplugged reworkings of some of our songs.  As we are the least unplugged band we know, this ought to be a laugh, so don’t miss it!  Free entry.

If you can’t make it to the Bristol shows, please come along to the Riverside Tavern in Newport on 26th March, where we’ll be playing with the wonderful Thinking With Sand, and Project Serpo, who we love.

Right, see you on Sunday, and mark 1st April in your diary now!

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

Thanks to everyone for you wonderful comments about our live performance on BBC 6 Music last night!

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and want to thank Tom Robinson for inviting us along and being happy-friendly-good to us.

If you missed the show, you can listen again via the BBC iPlayer, which is available to anyone with a computer and internet access (much like us) for the next 7 days.

Tom very kindly took some photos of us playing and I’ve uploaded some of the best for your amusement:
