New guitar nearly done!!!

This baby is going to make it’s first appearance on the upcoming US tour in September.  Built by the legendary Bob Doflin it’s the first of it’s kind, using Wizard pickups from over here in the UK and vintage paints. I can’t wait to get my hands on this! It’s the Bob Doflin BD Original Mark II.

Going The Distance US Premiere - Los Angeles

And so we flew over to LA for Monday's US Premiere of 'Going The Distance' at the famous Grauman's Chinese Theatre.  It was a whirlwind trip of one day but an amazing experience nonetheless...

 

Going The Distance World Premiere - London

It’s been a very surreal week for us. It’s seen the worldwide premiere of Going The Distance in London and the US premiere at the famous Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in LA.  Here’s a little video of us on the blue carpet in London!!

It's a bit windy for an outdoor game of Table Tennis really. Justin's forehand takes a lot of beaiting!

Tonight's the night!

We've just uploaded "If You Run" - from the Going the Distance movie - to our myspace player. This song was written by the band specifically for the film, and there are actually 3 versions in existence: movie length (6 mins), album version (4:50 mins), and a radio edit (3:20 mins).  The film contains an on-stage performance of this song, as well as of 'Evacuate' and 'Spitting Fire.' 

For those of you in the United States, you can immediately get your hands on a copy of "If You Run" if you pre-order the 'Going the Distance' album via iTunes.  It is live in the store right now, and will officially go on sale August 24th.

Best,

Sumit

 

New axe...

Just picked up this new/old bass! It's a 1976 Bi-Centenary Gibson Thunderbird and I couldn't leave the store without it. And what a store it was! The Chicago Music Exchange is possibly the best guitar store in the world. www.chicagomusicexchamge.com
