The Holidays http://theholidaysband.com Sat, 31 Dec 2011 10:00:00 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Future http://theholidaysband.com/2011/12/19/future/ http://theholidaysband.com/2011/12/19/future/#comments Mon, 19 Dec 2011 09:26:27 +0000 band http://theholidaysband.com/?p=759 We’re currently busy writing for our second album. It’s a very laborious affair but we’re making some great headway and are really happy with the direction things are taking. We hope to have the album out in the first half of 2012 but these things are hard to put a time frame on. Deadlines come, deadlines go, what is most important to us is releasing the best possible album we can manage.

Until then we’re doing the occasional show so we might see you around. Otherwise have a merry christmas and an incredible music-filled new year!

Recently we have been nominated for Breakthrough Independent Artist of the Year in this year’s Jagermeister Independent Music Awards. The awards night is on Wednesday 12 October, at which we are lucky enough to be performing, along with Adalita and Calling All Cars, which will be shown on Channel V soon after the awards night.

Currently we are in the midst of writing for our second album and are incredibly excited about the direction it is taking. Hopefully we will have some new songs to play at Harvest Festival, and to release in some form very soon!
