Mixing
Goooooood morning madam!
Matt here (gobi spare part) reporting on our latest shenanigans.
Maestro Lewis and myself are back in the studio for four intense days of mixing, after which we hope to have finished the recording part of our album! James has picked up the artwork from our kind personal artist and it looks fantastic; we are all very excited!
We are expecting the other boys to pop in at random intervals and make sure the drums/bass/vocals are loud enough (!) and generally cause trouble.
Well must go now I have a lot of important tetris to play.
Ta ta for now!

usa
New blog:
So after a 6am wakeup call, 4 out of the 6 boys of Gobi land took to the London streets and queued (that means 'waited in line' for all our American readers!) outside the US embassy. It was a nice occasion, surrounded by police with their fingers on the triggers of machine guns. We were also not allowed to take anything into the building with us that was metal which meant we had to even take our belts off....we would have taken some photos to show but weren't allowed our phones!! damn
Anyway, 9 forms, 4 fingerprint scans, 3 million dollars, 1 strip search (ok this bit's not true, just for added effect!) and two hours later we emerged successful with our US visas....horray.
Now free from the re-occurring dreams of forgetting our passports to go to the US embassy, we can now embark on the dreams of forgetting our passports to go to the airport!
Just Matt and James to get theirs now, fortunately we have a replacement in store just incase:
Watch this space...

Recording the album
So today we begin recording our debut album...we are currently in a studio in Souf London laying down some drums, bass and guitar and all is sounding sweet. Our super producer J Male of Republica is wearing suitably funky sun glasses and all is go. Last night we played a great gig at Coalition in Brighton with two fabulous bands Seeker and Kiina, both worth checking out.
we will keep you updated...

US Tour
So after many months of thought, we are in the last stages of our Visa application and it is looking like we will be in the US at the end of October, with shows confirmed in NYC on 23rd October, and LA on 28th October and we are waiting to hear from Phoenix AZ, San Diego CA, San Francisco CA, and Chicago IL (I'm just showing off my geography of the states by putting the CAs,ILs etc next to the city - but probably have it wrong so apologies!).
It will be a shortish promotional tour of about 6/7 dates prior to the release of our debut album, but if you feel we've missed anywhere that we should definitely be playing or know anyone who might be able to help then don't hesitate to drop us a line at info@twospot.co.uk.
We hope to do a more expansive tour of the US in 2009, but we hope you'll jump in the car/plane/train and come and say hi in October.....
Peace
