3. Other business

Shapes will be recording their debut album next month. Look out for some very exciting news about that coming soon... Bad Books, the new band featuring Kevin Devine and members of Manchester Orchestra, release their self-titled album in the States soon, with their East Coast dates (including an appearance at CMJ in New York) selling out fast... Hold Your Horse Is will be recording a new single at the end of this month and hitting the road again in November. If you're a promoter and fancy booking them, get in touch...
That's your lot. Hopefully see you at a gig soon!
