We’re currently in transit and hurtling full speed towards the first dates of our 2015 European tour. Joining us for the experience is the distinguished Aron Ward of Bristol’s very own Y CVn, who’ll be in charge of automotive and in-van mediation duties for the duration. Hoping to meet a few new people, enjoy some of the fine cuisine of our more cultured neighbours and perhaps make a little to much noise throughout. As mentioned, we’re particularly excited about opening for La Colonie De Vacances midway through the excursion.

Our November dates conclude with a show at the Strange Behaviours festival in Stirling on Nov. 21st – the alma mater tourist town of 2/5 blinkers. Will be nice to see some familiar faces at that: we’ll likely be able to relay a variety of thousand-yard stare accompanied stories about tinned fruit shrines and Italian deli-based voodoo by the time we return.

European Tour Dates NOV 2015

We’re getting ready to go on our first foray into Europe — pretty exciting times.
Also debuting new material written and recorded for the album.
As part of the tour we will spend two nights opening for La Colonie De Vacances which is already causing involuntary priapisms and night-sweats within the camp.
As an Italian once said: “it is my dream”.

Wickerman, Hug & Pint, Orkney session

We thoroughly enjoyed playing at the Wickerman Festival this year – thank you to everybody who came along and saw us. Special thanks must go to all involved with the Solus Tent, and to Valerio, Matt and Kenny for their efforts helping everything go smoothly.

Our next show is at The Hug & Pint on Gt. Western Road in Glasgow on the 8th August with Blood of the Bull joining us. We’ll be in a particularly animated mood as our album session is booked for the week after – please come along and see us before the weight of seven days of inescapable composition on Orkney renders all us incapable of basic human interaction.

Outblinker “EP” launches on June 15th

If you are reading this you must know some very important people. Or be a very bad Dutch typist.

Regardless.

You should know that the debut recording by the electro-rock group Outblinker is completed and will be avaiilable to the planet from Monday June 15th on the excellent Good Grief / GabuAsso Records.

It will be preceded by three incredibly in-demand concerts, rammed full of celebrities and powerbrokers.

These will happen on:

June 10th – Two’s Company Studios, 61 Old Market Street, Bristol – with Y Cvn + Olanza + Motes + A Procession

June 11th – The Waiting Room, 175 Stoke Newington High Street, London – with Y Cvn and perhaps another

June 13th – Stereo, Renfield Lane, Glasgow – with Zyna Hel + Y Cvn

Here’s hoping you are appropriately dressed to get in. The EP will be available for purchase at these three shows prior to it’s official release which allows you a short window of illegal advance torrent activity. Better move fast.
