Hello good people. We’ve have had a bit of a break from gigging so far in 2009 as you may have noticed, but amongst having babies and other things, we’ve been ‘quietly’ busying ourselves at our Studio Los Mekkitos headquarters, recording a collection of weird and wonderful seafaring songs. The songs are now being mixed and mastered and will be released later this year.
In the meantime, we’re getting revved up, readying ourselves to come out of our short hibernation and hit the gig circuit hard soon… Look out for a show near you!
Lovejas! x

Thanks to all at Tweedies Bar and everyone who braved wet and windy weather to come along and watch us at the Grasmere Guzzler Festival. We had a lovely time and enjoyed sampling some fine ales including the big 11 percenter that tipped the balance for a few of us. A certain little drummer boy will be sorting out his bar tab in due course!
