April Crayon News Bulletin

2 Apr

We recently spent some time in the lovely Bluebird studios finishing the mixing for the album and recording 2 brand new songs which we're really pleased with - "Sick Days" and "What Happened to Me?". Despite Nick our producer nearly dying from Flu (possibly just severe man-flu) - we think it's sounding great!
The 2 tracks will be available to be streamed on Facebook for the month of April. Further details on the album release to follow over the next few weeks also!

In gig news, some pics from our last few gigs-Stag's Head and The Grand Social now available (just click on the date by the gig details to the right).

Looking forward to playing the inaugural Camden Crawl Festival in Dublin this May and also doing an intimate gig in Bewleys Theatre, Dublin. Hopefully lots more gigs and festivals to follow over the summer!
We have also started filming a video for "I Wanted You" which will be the first single from the album.

And that's your Crayon update
