Hi, 

Prepare for facts:

1. Our song ‘Throats’ is included on a 3SX compilation which you can download here for free. I did and it is very good and a diverse mix of (from what I can tell) mostly Italian stuff. I particularly like Gouton Rouge and Fine Before You Came. ‘Throats’ is from our EP ‘Kypes | Pests | Throats’ which is available for free from our bandcamp page.

2. We’ve nearly nearly nearly finished recording our second EP, and we’ve started churning out ideas for more new stuff. Here we are taking a coffee break at practice on Wednesday

3. It’s a little over a week til we play this. We are excited as it’s our first gig for what seems like a while and will probably be our last for a bit whilst we sort out the new EP and write some new songs. It would be great to see lots of friendly faces there.

Bye :)

2012. Twenty Twelve. 2k12. two zero one two. Now that annoying introduction is over, read the shambles below to discover what’s happening in the sphere of Some Skeletons thus far in the new year…

1. Gigs

We’ve confirmed (hopefully) four gigs, three in Nottingham and one in London.

First up we’re playing at the Jam Cafe in Nottingham on 11th February. It’s a FREE GIG! Excited to be playing with Liberation Pact, their EP is boss.

We’ll be heading to the big smoke on 5th March to support the ever triumphant Swound at the Barfly in Camden. No facebook event for this yet and thus none of the major details, other than it’ll be fun and great.

Not sure if it’s totally confirmed or not yet but we think we’ll be playing at the Maze in Nottingham on 19th March, again with Liberation Pact and our friends Fresh Eyes for the Dead Guy who we’ve not played with for a bit. Again no fb for this yet but we’ll keep you posted.

Final thing we have confirmed is a gig at our favourite Nottingham venue the Chameleon. Don’t know any of the bands but having listened to Before Machines it promises to be a good one.

2. Recording

We’re recording again this weekend down in Cannock. Bass, leftover guitar and vocals. To that end Simon and I are at Adam’s knocking melodies into shape and trying to write lyrics. Here’s a picture of us in action.

I had a haircut today and I haven’t really worn it in yet which is why I look like a footballer.

For an interesting technical insight into the recording process thus far (amongst other things) check out Ian the producer’s blog.

3. Other

Kypes | Pests | Throats was lucky enough to pop up on a few of best of 2011 lists, which is ace and has swollen our egos to grand proportions. In a couple of cases we’re assuming they were best of lists, but as they were in Italian and as none of us speak the language we have no idea if they’re complimentary or not. For the sake of our self esteem we’re assuming they are :)

We also discovered that we’d been reviewed by these lovely people. Check out issue #1 for their opinion on KPT.

YES!
