BOSH - What's going on?

Well. 2010 was the year we lost Grant and Matt, after six years of being a part of our band. That was hard. During those years we became very close, and we were friends before they were in the band! Now they've gone, it feels quite different.

Steve Coates joined the band, bringing his great talent to compliment James, Mike and myself. David Evans, our longtime collaborator, also plays for us when he can, but as an unofficial member.

Mike is at Uni in Bath, doing very well at his commercial music course, and gaining much respect with his new band, Jackhatch. So, we don't gig as much as we used to. But, that's ok. James, Steve and I are working on a new project called Chaos Curb with a few other people. Jackhatch and Chaos Curb have become our musical priorities for now - and the foreseeable future.

Excitingly, we are doing a one off show at Locks Heath near Southampton in March, and this will see a happy reunion with Matt - who happened to be in UK when Steve couldn't make the gig!

However, we can say that BOSH will rise again properly in the summer. In May we are playing at Grace Festivals (Sunday 1st May) in Street, Somerset. Then we are going to be releasing a new album called 'Fruit Tree'. There will be at least four new BOSH songs on it, as well as songs from good friends of ours - [dweeb], Tom Whitman, Adam Oxborrow and Steve Leach. We are going to tour the album in July, hitting Dorchester, Bournemouth, Salisbury, Lyme Regis, Exeter and Hook. Then we're heading to Slovakia to play at Camp Fest, and then doing some UK festivals.

We will be doing a huge free show in September, maybe two of them. So, plenty of BOSH action to come.

News on our promotional single for Fruit Tree, 'Calling' which is a collab with [dweeb] soon.

Cheers then!

Dave
