welcome to the hoboblog

we've changed the name and address of this blog. it was a tough call. if you were following in an RSS reader you may be somewhat annoyed with us right now, and we are sorry. in fact, our heads are hung already, so don't shout. we hope you'll have found us again from all those links on our website and on the social media bits (in fact if you're reading this that's a pretty safe bet), and you'll consider asking your google reader or whatever to subscribe to this one instead.

the reason for moving on (apart from it being the hobo way, naturally)?

well, things are moving on. you know how it is. until now we've been blogging news of the last album and how wonderful it is, blah, blah, but it's been out for a while now - we're still touring it and selling it and all the rest of it but we're also getting down to some new things and even thinking about the next project already, albeit in an 'early stages' sort of way.

we wanted to be able to blog about that kind of thing, too, and generally talk about whatever we felt like talking about, so the 'no.5' blog was beginning to feel a bit limited. welcome, therefore, to the hoboblog, which we hope will be more entertaining, informative and representative of day-to-day hoboland. tell us what you want to see here, why don't you...

we'll start soon. promise. we leave for the continent in a few weeks, where we'll be playing a handful of festival dates and a few indoor shows, too, in advance of our tour in october. the summer dates, and those of our scottish tour are up online already by the way - come and see us if you can. in the meantime we'll try and think of clever things to say here, and keep you posted about what we're up to.

did you know, by the way, that kirsty keeps a photo diary? there's interesting fact number one for the new blog. she's got a great eye for portraits and details - she posts one photo a day, often with commenatry, which you can subscribe to in a reader if you're so inclined. we often post extra shots to our twitter account, too. we're actually playing with the idea of expanding the flickr account we set up to host our web gallery to incorporate these pictures, too. if you're a flickr user and you know how we might do that well, why don't you give us a shout?
