Sunday – Japandroids + A Place to Bury Strangers + Our first home town show in ages…

Hi All,

First off, apologies that we’ve been very quiet recently, we’ve been wrestling with a few geographical technicalities. Anyway…

After not playing in our home-town of Cardiff for over 6 months we’re really excited to announce (at fairly short notice) that we’ll be making our return to the city this Sunday at Cardiff Barfly.

Not only will this be our first time back here in months but we’re also even more excited to be playing support to the awesome double header of New-York’s A Place to Bury Strangers and Vancouver’s Japandroids. So needless to say it’s going to be a really good night.

We hope to see you there.

Much love. PBiW x

We hope you like it. Love, PBiW

Thanks/A brief update.

Hi all,

We just want to say thanks to everyone who came down to see us at Woodstick in Cardiff or the Social in London. Both were really fun. Also a particularly massive thank you goes out to Harri and Nicola from Little My and Huw Stephens who put us on at the two gigs respectively.

Here’s a low quality picture of the lovely Woodstick in Cardiff’s sunny Bute Park:

Also, tomorrow morning we’re heading into the studio to ready this new single we’ve (kind of) been talking about. Expect it to be made available to you lovely people for free fairly soon.

I’m currently drawing up a press mailing list to go out for the single sometime next week so if you happen to be involved with any kind of blog/magazine/radio station etc and would like to be sent a copy then drop us a line on picturebooksinwinter@googlemail.com and I’ll add you to the list.

Think that’s all for now. Thanks for listening.

Love PBiW x

P.s, I feel this page is looking a little text-heavy, so here’s a picture of Jim and Stu getting over-excited playing Wii Golf:

Sunday…

This is this Sunday:

If you’re about in Cardiff then come join us in the park, bring some drinks, maybe a picnic. It’s our first ever attempt at playing acoustically. Uh oh.

Some news…

Hi all.

We’ve added a few new dates to the live section, there should be more to follow soon too. One of these is our first ever attempt at playing an acoustic set, which could go horribly, horribly wrong. Hopefully not though, hopefully it’ll be amazing. No, it’ll definitely be amazing.

In other news, we’re heading back into the studio soon to record a brand  new single, which will be emerging some time next month. If all goes to plan then we’ll be letting you have it completely free, which is nice. We can’t give you any other details about it yet though, mostly because we don’t know/haven’t worked them out yet. We’ll keep you updated though.

More news soon.

Love, as ever, PBiW X x
