All change!

It’s been a while since our last update but don’t go thinking we’ve been idle.  The band has a new look, shape and feel as we’ve had a reshuffle.

Video shoot

We’ve filmed all of the parts for our next video with Adam Stevenson and his crew.  It’s to go with our cover of Ever Fallen in Love and the plot of the film carries on from our My Daemon Lover film.  The first rushes look very cool indeed, it looks like Adam has worked his video magic on us!  It’ll be around a month and then we should be able to get it up here on the site.  Exciting times!
