Festival Aftermath

We survived our first festival gig at the Camden Crawl and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! We would like to thank everyone involved in putting on the festival and in particular Mel, Sean,  Stu and all the staff at The Globe for helping us out.

In case you missed it, our show was reviewed by GoldenPlec and they had some very nice words to say about us. If you’re now kicking yourself for not going, you can always buy our EP and listen to it in a dimly lit room while dancing around.

Love,
Amateur Historians

Do a gig do a gig do a gig,

We’re all in the same city at the same time so what better way to celebrate than by playing a gig and demoing some new material? With this in mind, we’ve decided to play at Transmit’s local band night!

State Magazine and “Faces of 2013″

Recently we were featured in an article by State Magazine called, “Faces of 2013” and they graciously described us as “State’s indie pop band of the year” so thank you very much State, we’re flattered and humbled.

We’re very much looking forward to 2013 and are currently writing and trying to demo new ideas while battling through work, exams and being in different countries. Hopefully we will be gigging again soon and we’ll let you all know as soon as we organise one.

Love,
Gx

Hey everyone,

We just wanted to thank everyone who came out to see us play our first ever gig in Dublin, it was a humbling feeling to see so many people support us despite never hearing from us before hand so thank you. We’d also like to thank Bouts for putting us on, showing us around and giving us somewhere to sleep <3

We’ll be back in Dublin on the 20th December in the Hard Rock Cafe in Temple Bar so you won’t have long to wait to see us again!
