It's been a crazy busy week in the Burning Shapes camp which kicked off a week last Sunday with an acoustic gig at the Grey Lady in Tunbridge Wells. A very limited edition CD pressing of our debut EP arrived on our doorstep and became available at the show and will be on sale at future gigs while stocks last.

Then on Tuesday we were recording drums in a seriously cool studio... Lightship95, built in the hull of a bright red ship docked in Londons east end. Two days later we were rehearsing early (pre 9am) before loading the cars and heading up to the Triumph factory near Leicester to compete in the Triumph Live band battle showcase. The prize was a chance to support The Stranglers and Mumford & Sons in front of 10,000 festival goers at Mallory Park in September in celebration of the motorcycle companies 20 year anniversary. It all started with a 2 month online voting campaign (which we wrote about last newsletter so thank you so, so much everyone who voted) and finished with 7 bands from all over the UK in a warehouse playing for audience and judge votes for a place at the festival. We got through :)

Then to top it all off we played in front of a huge crowd at the fantastic and ever growing Local & Live festival in Tunbridge Wells. Event organiser Paul Dunton once again excelled at putting on an amazing 4 days of live music featuring over 50 local acts. The whole festival is run by volunteers and is an amazing achievement for live music in our local area so a massive thanks to everyone involved. We had a blast!

We're playing Triumph Live with Mumfords & Stranglers... thank you!

On September 18th we'll be one of seven bands including The Stranglers and Mumford & Sons playing at Mallory Park to celebrate Triumphs 20 year anniversary. Once again thank you so much everyone who helped to get us here by voting online, word spreading and attending the live showcase final last week. Now to more pressing matters... there is just one more week to pre order tickets (after which there will be a limited number available on the day). We'd love to see you there so if you're free come along for an awesome line up of summer music.
