if you havent noticed

you can read our twitter updates on the side bar too, so you can see all the rock star like things we get up to; such as waiting in queues, sitting on buses, eating slimy food.

it's hard being so cool.

this is the greatest thing ever

ENJOY!

hey hey

we've just been featured on the new "Loud & Quiet" podcast, so if you want to hear one of the new tracks from the album (before it's out!) get over to http://www.loudandquiet.com and check out podcast 10.

Oh yeah, almost forgot!

Almost forgot to mention this, we're playing a gig tonight at the Brudenell in Leeds, supporting Future Islands, come down.

Yeah, so we never made it to our quarry adventure because some gang of biscuits smashed up barts car (cheers dickheads!), but hopefully we'll re schedule it for sometime next week.

anyway, we're finally announcing the details of our new mini album, it's coming out on Brew Records (www.brewrecords.net) and will feature an awesome digipack designed and crafted by our mate Leemun (www.kraffhics.com).

we recorded it with Ross Halden At Ghost Town Studio’s (¡Forward Russia!, Sky Larkin, Rolo Tomassi etc), and we had so much fun, Ross is totally awesome. (you can find him in our top friends on myspace)

quarry adventure time

Hey hey, was the wintermute video shoot on friday (awesome fun) and today we're off for some promo photos by Bart Pettman (http://www.flickr.com/photos/bartpettman/), apparantly he's taking us to an old quarry with a massive fibreglass triceratops... crazy.

We should be putting a new track from our mini album online on monday evening, so after that the only place to get the old songs from the last CD will be free at our gigs until we run out of them, you'll be able to pick up the old CD at all of our upcoming tour date gigs.


word up.

Old Myspace Tracks

The old recordings up on our myspace will be coming down pretty soon to make way for new stuff from the mini album, so go grab them while you can:

http://www.myspace.com/castrovalvamusic

Or if you just get in contact with us, we have the two tracks on a CD you can have for free, with artwork done by our awesome friend Matt Reid (Chickenhawk, The Grand March, WhoresWhoresWhores).

looks a bit like this:



but the version of Max Rhodes on the CD is different to the one on the myspace, so if that bothers you, then you can grab the myspace one! everyone's a winner.

One guy from France named Andre, playing his drum kit with synth triggers, doing old video game music covers and other bits and bobs, awesome.
