Happy 2012

Hope you all had a wonderful end to 2011 and wishing you all happiness and success in 2012.

Though we took the last two weeks of December off, We had been making progress on EP5.

We still have no official release date yet, but it will be in 2012.

In December, our tune "Apotemnophila" was included in the Alternative Shropshire Vol 2 compilation CD. Click here to download a free copy of the CD featuring us and many other Shropshire acts.

In December we also started the process of pulling EP4 from our online retailers. This was purely a finincial decision. The cost incurred by using the distribution company we were using was too much. We will re-issue EP4 later in the year or possibly sell it direct from our website.

So here is to a fruitful 2012.

Invisible wall.

Which coincidentally is the possible title for one of the new songs.

Things have gone slow in Hair Thief land. E's PC seems to have died a horrible death, so we are partially temporarily suspending work on EP5, until he is back up and running.

Personally, I'm going to work on the string section of another song over the next week or so and try and finish the lyrics for the above mentioned Invisible wall.

Oh well, might give me time to finish Batman Arkham City!

Up to Speed

Sorry for the lack of updates this year. This has mostly be due to us trying to get away from the blog we used to host with Myspace and move to a new host.

So, now I have moved the last six years worth of posts to the new host. Normal service can now resume.

This year has been quite productive for the Hair Thieves.

After the release of EP4 in December, we decided for 2011 to make a concerted attempt at meeting more regularly and pushing forward with EP5.

So in the spring, we started meeting on a mostly weekly basis, to work on some new songs.

Of the nineteen or so songs we have in various states of completion, the decision was made to scrap them all for now and write some new material. Some of the songs were 6+ years old and it is refreshing to put them behind us and move forward. Bits of them might turn up later.

There was one song that was completed in demo form, which we are carrying forward.

So in the spring we started recording EP5. Things were progressing well, before we temporarily stopped work, to rehearse for our first gig in three years. (see picture above).

So we are back to recording EP5. Back to blogging and a new website in the works.

that turns into something new.


Well, here we go. The Hair Thieves blog take 3.


After an abortive blogger one in 2005 and the ongoing myspace one, we have started a new one, to integrate with the new site.


So what can you expect from this new blog?


Well, more of the same information on the hows and why we record songs.


Information on band marketing. We have no intention of getting famous, but we have every intention of trying out some of these, "get yourself famous" marketing tips just to see, what affect they have on us.


Links to other interesting blogs


Comments on the world of entertainment.


Ocassional details of where you can see us live.


Occasional reviews just in case you missed us live.


So, since this is just a test message. More information to follow!
