Hmmm, what else is news?! We will more than likely tour New Zealand in late Jan/early Feb next year! Stay tuned for further announcments about that.

We’ve also been setting up a studio space in Fairfield, for both Aleks and the Ramps and Potential Falcon. Al and I got really itchy the other day installing sound insulation bats in the walls. I can tick that job off my list, been there, done that, never want to do it again. As Aleks said, “If someone invites me to an insulation installing party i’m gonna say i have to wash my hair…”

Here is a very boring pic of the space:

we have plenty more carpet to steal, and couches, PA system etc to move in and make it more homely. It’s really great to have a place for ourselves though, no more putting up with metal bands jamming in the adjacent room!

Here’s some stuff that’s happened in Falcon land recently:

- We dropped the album artwork off to the printers to be turned into cd’s. Release date is Friday October 2^nd, yeah!?

- We had a song(Honey (pt 2) on some TV show called Rescue, Special Ops. Neatly paying for the above cd pressing.

- Three neat shows were played, at The Retreat, The Edinburgh Castle and The Evelyn. We were planning to debut a new song but didn’t quite practice it enough.

- The tour booking has been continuing, slowly and painfully. We’ll be on the road in November, with shows in Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane, Hobart and Newcastle. Hopefully we can get some more happening and we’ll be announcing the tour for realz in a couple of weeks.

- We’ve found a warehouse to build a studio space in, so Aleks(of the Ramps) and I have been stealing carpet out of dumpsters for a few weeks, getting ready to outfit it. This is really exciting for us, rehearsing whenever we want, storage, recording. Every time we see footage of Wilco in their loft we get jealous, but now we’ll have our own!

- We’re on some kind of featured artist list on Sydney community station 2ser this week.

So, while you wait to hear about our tour plans, head to the Myspace page to hear a new track from ‘Wings on fire’ entitled For Melinda, and check out the front cover of the cd right here!
