The WP's seem to be wrapping up Long Black Cars with a number of festival appearances which will take them into the late-summer/autumn period.
The Lobster Boat band reconvened during this time for a brief tour. I caught them and can say once again I was stunned by how good they were. Nothing seems to have been mentioned but surely a second LP needs to be made? I guess with DT's solo instrumental record upcoming it's unlikely we'll see anything this year but hopefully getting back together made them realise what a good combination they are.
FREE SONGS in the bands own words:
THE LOBSTER BOAT BAND played their second BBC6 radio session for Marc Riley and had the time of their lives! Send an email to lobsterboatband@gmail.com and we'll send you those songs for FREE. So lucky...
Finally, an interesting article here: http://www.heavemedia.com/2012/07/17/underrated-classics-the-wave-pictures/ which calls out Sophie as a lost classic. Personally, it's my least favourite record they've done, but it's nice to see some attention and reminds me i should really get back to finishing my record by record run down of the WP's work......
