Letter from America

Hello everyone.
>
So we’re going to the USA. We’ll actually, that’s a lie. We’re in New York already. We’re all sitting in the Cup and Saucer diner on the corner 0f Canal and Elridge in the Lower East Side of Manhattan waiting for breakfast.  But for the purposes of this, suspend your disbelief.

As you may or may not know, we’ve been invited to perform at this years SxSW festival in Austin, Texas, which is, to be a captain of understatement, flippin’ awesome. We’re playing a few shows in New York City, too. As well as our own gigs at SxSW, we’ll be doing three shows as King Creosote’s backing band. So no pressure there, then.

All rather exciting, eh no? The Skinny will be hosting a tour blog of sorts from us and you can catch all of our “hilarious”/idiotic antics on Twitter, as usual.
