Oct 20 '11 Hello there humans, hope this mail finds you well

Posted in: Blog

A very merry Autumn to you and your loved ones, summer has been and gone – hope you don’t have any post sun blues. As we’re from Scotland we’re currently in our 1000th consecutive month of Autumn-esque weather so we’re fine.

Anyway, thank you to everyone that took the time to watch us at a festival over the summer months. We had an amazing time, culminating in Reading and Leeds at the end of August which were a couple of shows we won’t forget for a long time.

What else has happened since then? Our single ‘Make A Beast Of Myself’ came out a couple of weeks ago and has been our most successful single to date… thanks to all of you. Hope you enjoyed the web chats that took place over the release week, and sorry if our bland chat offended you in anyway. And a final mention for anyone who wants to take part in the Competition to win Sam’s Smashed up Guitar from the ‘Time For You To Stand Up’ video, the winner shall be announced soon…….

And what are we doing now I didn’t hear you ask? Well, we’re gearing up for our second ever American tour with the wonderful AWOLNATION and Middle Class Rut. It kicks off on the 2nd of November. The dates are as follows…

Aug 11 '11 Greetings Fans of Rock Music

Posted in: Blog

Thank you very much for signing up to the Twin Atlantic mailing list, we’re hoping to make this quite a regular deal – it means you get to keep up to date with what the band is up to before anyone else and possibly we’ll be able to offer you some exclusives down the line for your commitment.

Anyway… this is just a brief hello and welcome, but whilst i’m here i’d better plug our shiny new video for ‘Make A Beast Of Myself’…

You may have seen it already, but it’s worth a second (and third and fourth) look so you can see the brief cameo from Danny Glover. Didn’t see him? Then watch it again, he’s definitely in there.

Another thank you should be sent the way of anyone who has to taken the time to see us at a festival this summer, we’ve had some really special shows because of it and it’s all down to you for making them a success.

We aren’t done yet though, here’s what we have left in August:

18th August – Pukkelpop Festival, Hasselt (Shelter Stage)
20th August – Stuttgart, LKA-Longhorn (supporting BoySetsFire)
21st August – Highfield Festival, Hohefelden (Green Stage)
26th August – Leeds Festival (Festival Republic Stage)
28th August – Reading Festival (Festival Republic Stage)
Any of you who are coming to one of these shows, we hope you can make the time to catch us. We’ll make sure you don’t regret it.

If you aren’t lucky enough to be at any of these shows do not fret… we have some very exciting plans for the rest of the year which we should be able to announce very soon. As soon as we can, we will.

Until then, stay classy.
