So we've made it to 2012 and we're still alive. Some of us just barely (Atkins), but we're still all going and that's just grand. All in all 2011 was a good year. Many gigs all over Cardiff, our highlights being one particularly RILFing show in Undertone with Kill Cassidy and Hello Lazarus that kicked all kinds of ass, and the indescribably joyful experience of playing with Hold Your Horse Is in Buffalo. Also we got to see both Ed and Tom wearing sleeveless tops at different times. Fucking hilarious. There may also have been a couple of haircuts, who knows.
We also managed to get a couple of demos recorded so listen to them. Now. Yes now. Don't worry this will be here when you get back. It'll keep. Go on, listen now. http://soundcloud.com/raphaelites
Good shit right? And that's just the demo.
But as with all things we're looking onwards, upwards, forwards. Generally we're looking ahead. And we intend 2012 to be a banger. In fact we've already got a couple of gigs lined up right at the end of January and right at the start of February. And here's the kicker.
Since the end of the world is apparently fast approaching (utter bollocks, by the way) we've decided it's time to kick it into high gear, lest our intermittent bouts of effort mean nothing by the time the apocolypse rolls around.
SO.
Our plan is to finally have that pesky EP we've been working on ready for you this year. We won't put an exact date on it and the title may change, but it will, repeat, WILL be coming out this year. We know it's been a long time coming but we think we may have at long last got the right track listing and all that nonsense.
Couple that good news with the fact that we intend to be playing a load more gigs, particularly in the summer, and you've got yourself a recipe for a year jam packed full of RILF.
But we promise no more sleeveless tops. Honest. They're just wrong. Unless it's a vest and you're John McClain.
