Day 2: Inaugural 'The British' gig

Monday, 29 June 2009

A few sore heads today as yesterday involved a lot of drinking, karaoke (to warm up the vocal chords!) and a late night - but we've got through the day and are 3 hours away from the inaugural gig for The British.

Again, it hasn't gone without a hitch (Simon again the culprit), as the keyboard nearly failed us today - damned Americans have a different power supply to us.

Last practice a few hours ago, it's time for the real thing... wish us luck!

Day 0: Immigration

Sunday, 28 June 2009

So we've arrived in Boston, but not without incident. Louis and Dexter arrived fine, Simon was held at immigration for over an hour and a half after severe interrogation from homeland security. After insisting that he wasn't getting paid by the music venues even though he was spending a lot of time and money on the tour, the response he got was "who would do that, especially during the recession?"

FAME!

Thursday, 25 June 2009

well not quite...

But wow! We never thought we would actually get our track played on the biggest radio station in the world! - by the way, now that they're on to us, we've been told we're not allowed to use their name on this site in the US, but you all know who they are.

Thanks so much for your comments, Mr O'Connell and everyone else on this site. They mean a lot to us.

More to come soon i'm sure...

New Tracks for the tour!

Tuesday, 23 June 2009

We have added our most recent tracks to this site. Take a listen!

A big thanks to Darren Chin-Yue for your outstanding work on the recordings and also to Bonafide Studios.

We'll be playing all three of these in acoustic form on the tour. Just got to make sure we can play them well.. hmmm.

Bye for now!

2 weeks and counting!

Tuesday, 16 June 2009

So.. if you are viewing this, you have somehow heard about this tour! excellent. Not long to go now.

It's pretty scary what we are doing, but loads of people have done it before, so why not do it ourselves, right?

We are The British.

We aim to keep this blog up-to-date with all our experiences on this US tour, including pictures and videos of our exploits (whether they are good or embarrassing).

All comments are welcome here, as we have allowed anyone to do so, although obviously we will only accept comments with the highest level of praise. Obviously.

Take care,

Si.
