May 19, 09:05 AMThe week that wasAhh... the week that was. Sunday the 10th started with a hangover and that's pretty much all i can remember about it. Tuesday, however, was the day that we finally started to write some music together again. Writing is probably the best part of playing for me. it's like watching the birth of a small animal - an animal that has an unknown lifespan and the potential to become very familiar. After two days of labor, we gave birth to a healthy, fully formed tune, tentatively titled 'Both Sides are Even'. We are proud parents indeed. Subsequent pregnancies and births are imminent.
Thursday was the start of The Great Escape Festival down in Brighton. i did a panel with Mark Kelly of Marillion and Jeremy Silver for the Featured Artists Coalition (www.featuredartistscoalition.com - an organization run by artists for artists. Some of the FACs many goals are to campaign for more artistic control and a fairer share of profits. It's a great group to be involved and associated with. Afterwards, me and my fellow band cohorts talked to a crowd about our experiences over the last few months as an unsigned band playing the ragtag music industry game. Our day continued with a quick trip to the Concorde 2 to see our friend and touring partner Fink play a few tunes from his superb new album. He has a voice that could melt butter and groove that could jar an old dear's hip replacement. The day ended watching another good friend, Iain Archer, play his very beautiful songs. Iain helps me to realize how bad i actually am at playing guitar!! It's a good thing we have Todd....!
Friday was Southampton Joiners and marked the first time in ages we have all been present for a pre-gig dinner. i thoroughly enjoyed the gig. i'm not quite sure what we were expecting, but it's always a joy to see a venue full of people... tiptop. Someone kept yelling out for 'Palisade'. Whoever it was don't get your hopes up. i think we attempted it live once about six years ago.
Saturday was our gig at The Great Escape. If a poll was to be started and maintained for worst ever venue load-ins i'd have to say that the Coalition in Brighton would definitely have a spot in the Champions League. Carrying equipment up and down stairs and the faint smell of sick aside, our late afternoon with friends on the seafront was great. Pre-gig we went to see The Joy Formidable, a band that i highly recommend. I love loud gigs when the 'loud' is good. With beers in hand we took to the stage just after 10pm. Yet another gig that i loved every minute of. I'm quote humbled by the fact so many people decided to come see us over all the other music that was going on that night....thanks all.
Alas, the week that was ended at 2am while loading our gear back into its cage in London. I feel like we got some good shit done.....

Jan 26, 01:17 AMUnion enters the US Billboard 100 Album Chart // New Tour Dates // KCRW Free Download// UNION ENTERS THE BILLBOARD TOP 100 ALBUMS CHART SELLS 10,000 COPIES WORLDWIDE IN A WEEK!
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Rebellion, we are very pleased to announce that our album UNION entered the official US Billboard Chart this week at #82! This is the first time ever that an unsigned artist has entered the US Top 100 on a digital release. A very sincere and heartfelt thank you to all our fans everywhere who bought the record. UNION reached the No. 1 spot on the iTunes Alternative Album Chart (knocking My Morning Jacket off the top spot), and broke into the iTunes US and UK Albums Chart Top 5 in less than 48 hours of release. Union also broke Top 20 at iTunes in Canada and in most other iTunes Albums Charts. As many of you are aware, the album was not eligible for the Official UK Albums Chart as we do not have a physical album in store. We hope theyll reconsider their eligibility rules on the back of all this.
// THE WEEK THAT WAS
The band have been talking about the week that was and their iTunes / Billboard success. Most of these interviews, including NME and BBC 6 Music, can be found via our official website front page.
Todd also appreared twice this weekend on Berlin's Radio Fritz (http://www.fritz.de/) on both the Trackback and Unsigned shows. Radio Fritz have also playlisted Evacuate! Visit the website for more information.
UNION is also Album of the Week at Darker Radio (http://www.darkerradio.com) for you German fans, whom we hope to see during our German Tour in April!
Also, our very own bassist extraordinaire Adam Harrison can be heard live on NME Radio (http://www.nme.com/radio) joined by Steve Sutherland (former NME Editor) at 4pm GMT on Wednesday January 28th, where they will be reviewing current single releases from other bands. Were also happy to hear that NME Radio have put Evacuate onto their playlist.
