2008 seems to be a bit of a blur… we started the year with some gigs around scotland, and always seem to refer to our gig in edinburgh as ‘when we actually started getting out shit together.’ we had some other gigs with the likes of goose and ladyhawke, in places like the abc and king tuts, held a party in the buff club where we took lots of dodgy pictures for our ep cover, released the ep, held another party and made some new friends and got lots of free beer… we’re not so good with words so we put together a quick video which says it all better…

Our 2008 from Any Color Black on Vimeo.

a big thank you has to go to all the people who made 2008 great, with there only being two of us, other folks really do make our life easier…

david, dave, tex, laura, meghan, ali, craig, mark, tam, carolyn, richie, all of GUWFC, janice, gillian, scott, amy and everyone who came to a show or bought an ep , all the very nice venue staff we met and bands we played with.

we thought we’d give something away for a christmas present, but in true any color black fashion we were late, so here is our ‘new years free giveaway‘ this is really a remix/cover/interpretation of a great track that we performed at our ‘touch me in the buff’ event…

we’re looking forward to 2009, kicking of the year with a mini tour with the o2 academys and an apple store performance (for those that don’t know us, we are HUGE apple geeks) so we hope to catch you around…

much love and all the best for 2009
