Last chance saloon

Many of you will already know that Susanna and Calle, two thirds of our Swedish contingency, are setting sail for colder climes at the beginning of May. Well, we just couldn't let them get away without playing one final show with tashtego's original line up. We will therefore be playing with Salter Cane who too will be bereft of a member, Catherine who is going to South America, on the 27th of April at the Free Butt. Entrance is only £3 which is a bargin, and we're hoping that both bands will be able to play full extended sets. We might even be able to coax Salter Cane's cover of 'What Difference Does it Make?' out of them...

Gig news

We have a show booked for Thursday th 17th of March at the Pavillion Tavern. I don't know who we're playing with yet, but it's St. Patrick's Day so it should be a lively night. I'll post more details when I have some.

Change of date

More gig news: the gig at the Cable Club that was originally to be on the 7th of April, has now been moved to Wednesday the 6th of April. Hopefully the line-up will be the same.

More details will follow closer to the time.

The band - "posing"

Concorde 2

2005-02-15T15:12:00.000+01:00

Thanks to everyone who made it down to see us at the Concorde 2 last Sunday. Especially Luke and Bahar who made the trip down from London just to see us. That sort of support is very kind and flattering.

Anyway, on to pastures new; we have a show booked for Thursday the 7th of April at the Cable Club, playing with The Mojo Fins and Southern Zephyr

The Cable Club is an excellent night, based at the Pressure Point in Brighton, that showcases local unsigned bands. It should be a good night so it would be good to see anyone there who fancies seeing us again - we'll even try to do some new songs.

Thanks to Xavier for letting us have these pictures from our gig at the Free Butt, Brighton, on the 23rd of January 2005. It gives you a general idea of what we all look like...

Thanks

Thanks to everybody who came to see us at the Free Butt last Sunday. It was a great line up and I think nearly everyone had a good time. Thanks particularly to Nick Levine who did all the hard work to make the night happen.

Any way, we've been given the information about Sadstock on Sunday the 13th of February. We are the first band on at 3.30 - so if you want to see us you'd better get there early. It's at the Concorde 2 by the way...

New Gigs for the New Year

2005-01-06T13:46:00.000+01:00

Hello all,

Firstly, thanks to all the people who made the effort to come and see our show on the 3rd of December last year. Your support was much appreciated.

Any way, I just thought I'd better let you know about the new gigs we have lined up in the next couple of months. We have a show on the 23rd of January at the Free Butt supporting two excellent bands; The Tailors, and once again; Actress Hands. The Tailors are, by all accounts, a blistering live act, and Actress Hands are seasoned professional that we've played with a couple of times before. Details of times, prices, etc. are to follow.

We are also one of ten bands playing at the prestigious Gilded Palace of Sin Sadstock #2 (the misery continues...) all day event on the 13th of February. We don't have any further information at present, but once we do I'll update this site.

Thursday's show

2004-11-08T17:44:00.000+01:00

Thanks to all of you who came to our first show at the Providence last month. I think we just about got through it with what dignity we have intact...

Anyway, Thursday's show has been cancelled due to a double booking by the promoter. However, another show has been booked at the Pavillion Tavern for Thursday 25th November. Hopefully we'll be able to play as a full band. More details will be posted a bit nearer the time. We'll also try to see if we can get some photos of some sort to post on this site. It's looking a bit plain and dull in here at the moment.

Heartworn Fridays

2004-10-15T13:29:00.000+01:00

tashtego will be playing a with Salter Cane on December 3rd at the relatively new Heartworn Fridays night at a bar called Nambucca on the Holloway Road. It's tashtego's first London show and there can't be a better band to play with than Salter Cane.

More gig news

2004-10-11T11:14:00.000+01:00

Hello All,

We have more gig news. tashtego will be playing another show at the Pavillion Tavern on the 11th of November, this time with a full line up. It was at our last show there that Jamie and I played that we met Calle and Susanna, so who knows what could happen this time... Further details will follow closer to the time.

For those of you who are kind enough to be coming to the show at the Providence on the 22nd of October, tashtego's set will begin at nine o clock and should last for somewhere between 30 and 45 minutes. Anyone who requires further information can e-mail me.

Gig news

2004-09-23T08:23:00.000+01:00

It feels a bit as though I'm writing into the abyss, as I'm sure no one will read this. However, for those of you that are there, or care, tashtego have a few gigs coming up.

The first show, which incidentally will be tashtego's first performance as a full band, will be at the Providence on Western Road in Hove on October the 22nd. We'll be supporting Actress Hands who Mattias and I previously played with at our first acoustic gig at the Fringe Bar way back in June.

We also have a full band show on the 3rd of December, hopefully playing with Salter Cane at a show in London. Details are a bit sketchy at the moment but more information will follow.

Any way I'll sign off for now.

Alex
