News : 10.07.04

New gig dates announced !!!!.

Well the injury is not quite healed but some gigs you just can't turn down .Pacific Ocean Fire are thrilled to announce that they will be support to M.ward on Monday August 9th at Leicester's  Charlotte .For those of you that have seen him play before enough said, for those that haven't we suggest you keep that evening free or regret it forevermore . Details are from http://www.magic-teapot.co.uk.Also there is the small matter of another gig next month supporting Detroit's quite fantastic Dead String Brothers .Details are from http://www.themusicianpub.co.uk another night not to be missed. Finally our apologies to Graham from Farside promotions for postponing the Y Theatre gig yet again but we promise we will get there eventually thanks for your patience. The gigs should see new songs , new instruments and if you're nice to us some rather cool button badges for all who attend see you there !!.

News : 01.07.04

There are two new (if rather odd) reviews of  "Roadsigns"  up on the reviews page, one from Drowned in sound and one from alt. country tab. The Leicester Y Theatre gig is looking like being rescheduled plus another couple of great supports are in the pipeline,  injuries permitting  . Mixes of  the new album are in the final stages and then it's just mastering and drinks all round (a large one for Dave I think before it's too late and he goes all Joe Meek on us) . For now it's heads down and back to Church studios to finish the record which has a working title of "Lightning & Luck". Sometime soon we'll be back out there with a load of new songs and a couple of new instruments which will be making their first appearances at the shows, so there should be plenty of seat-of-the-pants type thrills for band and audience alike.
