It's a bit crowded with interesting things this week, with everything kind of happening at once, making it a little difficult to decide what to go to. Then there's always Mrs. Toad of course, who has the selfish habit of complaining when I spent every night of the week out doing musicky things, the unreasonable old bag. We're off on a big holiday shortly too, so there is a fair bit of organising to be done and so far I am not proving particularly adept. Ah well, organisation was never a strong suit, but I guess [...]
Ahh civilisation, how I've missed you. Returned late last night from a three day camping/boating/fishing trip in the mountains. A trip that was fraught with wind, rain, fog, icy conditions and not a single fish. On our last night we heard wild dogs barking just before dark, which made for a long night of overactive [...]

I can't find any information about an impending album or any tour dates outside of the UK. The band's sparse, yet generous, myspace page contains several songs for download.

They hail from Newcastle Upon Tyne (what a lengthy yet awesome name), they used to be known as Greenspace and their influences include (the wonderful) Sigur Ros, Arcade Fire, Mazzy Star, Joni Mitchell and Explosions in the Sky, amongst others. Trading as Lanterns On The Lake since last year, they're starting to gain some serious blog attention (thanks MP3 [...]
This is a turn up for the books, a band from Newcastle to really treasure. Can't recall a single band of note coming from there, which is rather surprising given its population's emotive nature (insight gained purely from watching their football fans). Lanterns on the Lake are a relatively new proposition (they were previously known as Greenspace) but they have already amassed an impressive
