NEW ALBUM "ABOUT GIRLS" PLEDGE CAMPAIGN
We have started a new campaign for the release of our new album ‘About Girls’. Its kind of different, kind of new, and we thinks its pretty exciting!
Different? Well, you get to pre-order and get involved BEFORE the album is even totally finished and on the shelves. Before the press and radio make up your minds about it, you become integral to it rather than just a consumer.
Why is it new? Its a new company called Pledge that are doing very well with this kind of thing (with bands like the lovely Summer Camp and Emmy the Great) and quite simply is nothing like how we have done anything before.
Exciting? Yes. We have found that there are a lot of ways we can do things that are not in the usual album campaign checklist, ways that we get to interact and communicate with you which would not normally be possible.
How does it work?
Well, we work out how much money we need to raise to release the record (making and pressing the record and all that jazz) and then we ask you to Pledge for the album. When we reach the target we release all the pledges and we go about releasing the album into your homes.
What else?
As a Pledger you will receive regular updates with all our adventures on this, with video diaries, video from the studio, demo versions of the songs, rehearsal audio, journal entries and general nonsense. This will be an exclusive club for us and you the people who get involved with the campaign by Pledging.
So go here, put your name on the list, and you will be able to come along for the next few months with us on the journey. Its going to be very interesting, a bit of fun, and a very honest insight into our world and what its like making and putting out a record in the world of Hatcham Social.
(Oh and one extra thing, the first 50 pledgers will recieve free tickets to a Japanese tv show gig that we are doing in London this month!)
Thanks,
Toby, Finn, David, Riley

Not Cool At All...
This afternoon I have been trying to get hold of some 3rd Rock From the Sun DVDs for my Dad who is ill at the moment and has a large amount of love for these charming alien visitors. I had plimpsoles on and got wet feet then found out HMV had closed down. High streets are not the place to shop now, you have to look online. I did not want to order it, I just wanted to pick it up.If anyone has a load of 3rd Rock DVDs and wants to get rid of them let me know...
More worthy of your attention is Not Cool have split up. I really think this band should have had a lot more people talking about them. Really good live and totally believable. These are not topshop trend followers who look at whats hot on the blogs and regurgitate with a pretty smile, these are real people who are just fucking cool, and incidentally calling themselves Not Cool.
I found this today http://www.thelineofbestfit.com/2011/07/not-cool-offer-free-album-download/ its an album of b-sides and stuff that Not Cool have put together and given away. Go and get it. Then go and get the ACTUAL album, Rugged Raw, its great. Loud. Guitar. Music.
I also made friends with Martin Rossiter on a well known social networking site today after he was at the Pure Festival with us the other day. This inspired me to go and learn For The Dead. Great song. Not a hugely loved band these days I think, but when everyone forgets about America and krautrock for a moment maybe they will be interested again.
Night night
Toby
