Well here we go my feathered friends

Hello and welcome to the Nest!

Today marks the first of our weekly correspondence with you wonderful girls and boys who would like to keep up to speed with all things Owls orientated.
 It's been a rather wonderful time for our little four-piece band; relentlessly touring the east coast of Oz, pushing our debut EP and, most recently, getting some rad kudos from Triple J - being offered a spot on Newcastle's Fat as Butter line-up and getting another artist spotlight on the Unearthed website.
The boys and myself have just wrapped up a most excellent weekend of performances too. We played with an excellent array of acts on Friday at the Cambridge Hotel, most notably a sick band called The Novocains. Some really high-energy stuff.
To all the peeps who made it to the gig we'd like to say thanks. It's always good to see local support for any travelling bands, and it only benefits you wonderful people, cause at the end of the day we'd like to see Newy prosper in a musical sense, and that's only going to happen if we all get behind the scene.
Saturday marked a pretty fun night in Sydney too. We had a mini-bus moving the kiddies down to Sydney for Sosueme at the Gaelic Theatre for a big list of names, including grunge-country-rockabilly animals Doc Holiday takes the shotgun and DJ Alison Wonderland. Great venue and good vibes were found by all. Those kids are rowdy!
We hope to keep up transport for anyone who is keen to come along to our gigs, so if you are interested give us a yell via this website, Facebook or MySpace and we'll do our best to make sure you're on the road trip.
Fat as Butter was a complete surprise, and we are really excited for the prospect of playing with the likes of Wolfmother, Tame Impala, Children Collide and Ice Cube. Yeahhh Yeahh. We hope too get as many people along to the show as humanly possible, and if you've already got a ticket come on down early to catch us - we aim to please and you'll get some rad entertainment for your troubles.
Additionally, we'd love anyone who is around and has a camera at the festival to get snapping! Send us your fav shots and the best couple are going to get used on our website and multimedia pages - and will get a free t-shirt and EP. Score!. We look forward to seeing some celluloid festival ambiance.The film kind.
We've been writing a fair bit of new material too, and the next couple of show will see us showcasing it so if you like what you've been hearing we look forward to getting your thoughts. For those who can't get tix to FAB we'll be playing the Great Northern Hotel in Newcastle on the 30th of October if you'd like to catch a free gig.
Stay tuned for gig shenanigans, dates and news on the band. Now that we've got all the formalities out of the way we hope to keep you lovely people in the know so keep tuning in to the blog. And our apologies for how long it's taken to get this bad boy rolling.

See you next week,
Love, The Owls.
