New EP and news round up

It appears the WP's are going to be part of the madness that is Record Store Day this April with a new EP called "Helen". No further news at the moment but these people seem to be involved in making the artwork and have posted some nice and intriguing photos to whet the appetite:

Let's just hope we can get a copy without paying over the odds to an ebay scammer.

In other news the Stanley Brinks and The Wave Pictures tour continues apace. For the next four days you can still hear their Marc Riley session here:

The interview also confirms they're going to record the next WP's/Brinks LP at the end of the tour, though judging by the 10 month turnaround time for Gin, it's debatable whether we'll hear this until 2015.

Finally, there's a great piece by some-time instrumentalist David Beauchamp here:

In a very well written piece we get some insight into the recent European tour and it contains the requisite amount of bemusement at the band's continued lack of a commercial breakthrough. If you're reading this you probably share that bemusement.

Onward!
