Polish Club Concert and Other Important News

• How time flies...we had been so looking forward to the long awaited home gig at the Polish Club in Barnsley for weeks and it was SMOKING on Saturday..'the crowd were just awesome'. 

Terrornation, who should have headlined the night unfortunately pulled from the gig 2  days before (due to a hand injury, we believe), leaving TWH to fill the entire night- and boy did we have fun?
Intense fog, lights, lasers, neon and much bopping from the crowd- and yes, Izzie's 190 year old Dickensian top hat made an appearance throughout the second half of the set,and  was cautiously, but eagerly bandied around the fans for photographs afterwards.
The appearance was, according to izzie,  '..to mark the anniversary of the year of Dickens' birth in 1812'.  Charles Dickens lived for a time and died in Rochester, Kent, the historically steeped tiny city where Izzie lived for a time.

There are a lot of photographs to come in from friends and fans from the halloween induced night. The entire gig was filmed by the venue and we're hoping for an official review so there'll be tonnes of stuff for you to see soon. Huge thanks to Nikki Szkliniarz for organising the event, our sound technician who did a superb job, the members and landlord of the Polish Club for welcoming us in, and, once again, a wonderful audience. We have already been invited back, so watch this space.

• Sadly though, we bring you news (although it was no secret) that Nina Sherrard has now left us due to increased workload and difficult shift arrangements. We wish her all the best. We are, of course now searching for someone to take her place to cover backing vocals and incidental keyboards, but we will fulfill existing gigs and continue to arrange new live dates as a two piece in the meanwhile.

• Dealings with the upcoming album are now also back in full swing and we hope to get that to you in time for Christmas.

• We are now in possession of TWH hoodies which are black with white Rhinestone lettering (diamond effect stones) ('Tokyo Witch Hunt' on the front, 'TWH' on the left sleeve and www.tokyowitchhunt.com' on the back. Price is 25.00. If you would like to order one, please get in touch via contact@tokyowitchhunt.com . T shirts will be discussed soon.

Catch you soon,

The Last Gig and The Next

Last friday we played Redhouse in Sheffield for a  record label. We had a  good slot behind the headliners. No-one told us (even when we were there) that the headliners had pulled out the day before. No-one spoke to us even. We took a  few people who waited around for several hours to see us but had to go home on public transport before our slot because the previous bands were running so late. So we played to a  diminished crowd with good reception. Ah the trials and tribulations.

NEXT

This coming Saturday, we play the first gig we've played for a  long while to a  home crowd and we're excited. It's halloween weekend and the venue have it as a goth night. Slightly out of character musically for us but it's looking like it might be a good un! Polish Club, Summer lane, Barnsley- we can't wait!

The TWH Fanmail

 Hi Guys,

Just a  quickie today to let you know we're still here. If things seem quiet your end, you should be at OUR end! We are busy renaming and rebranding everything we have and everywhere we have a  presence. It's taking time because we are everywhere!

No fear though, we have gigs- and  will appear at Redhouse on October 19th in Sheffield and then our first hometown gig in Barnsley at Polish Club on 27th welcomes us, and our new name, with a Foam Party and whacking great halloweenish merriment ! We hope to see loads of you at both events.

The album has been put back (yes we know, AGAIN) to December- but that will make a  great stocking filler!

In the meantime, don't forget to visit (and 'Like') our facebook page at www.facebook.com/tokyowitchhunt .

Catch you very soon,

Fighting with lawnmowers

Izzie's had The Chop. Got naffed off with long hair and done the deed.

Anybody who hates it, don't worry -'I am the most fickle person I know'.
