Onwards.

An aside: For a more regularly updated Sizzling Gypsies experience, head on over to our facebook page with the link on the right (this one, lazy bones).

Firstly, if you check the Music link on the right you will find our stonking new Bandcamp page. There, you can download (for free) a digital copy of the EP we gave away at our gig supporting the Fun Lovin’ Criminals in the Summer of 2011.

Also, we’ve been keeping ourselves busy and have got some new material. We’ve gigged it at a few places to great feedback (Taylor John’s House was particularly good) and we’re now looking for more gigs like that one (if you’re a venue or promotor, e-mail me at paul.forey AT thesizzlinggypsies.co.uk).

We’ve got plans to get this new material down in a studio soonish, so expect a second EP at some point.

Cheers,
Paul

The Gig Went Well.

The gypsies went down a storm in The Kasbah when supporting Fun Lovin’ Criminals. Second support were also great, the guys from The Sixtyfours put on a rock’n'hip-hop treat for sure.

After the gig we spent a lot of time talking to fans – new and old – selling Sizzling Gypsies t-shirts, giving away CDs and generally having a good time.

We’re sure to be gigging a lot in the coming months so we’ll keep this site up-to-date and let you know when y’all can come down for a hoedown.

Kasbah, Sound & Fun

We’re announcing a very exciting gig for The Sizzling Gypsies: We’re gonna be supporting the Fun Lovin’ Criminals in The Kasbah’s main room this July!

There’s more info the gigs page and there’s a facebook event page here.

In the meantime, our awesome sound engineer Simon Eversfield and I are still working on the recordings we made, and we’re very happy with them so far, but still got a lot of work to do. We’re getting a demo version ready within the next week or so for posting around record labels, and we’re gonna have a full release ready for the end of May.

Songs and Studios

It’s been a bit quiet of late as we’ve been working hard on new material.

These are the first songs written with Paul as part of the band and the whole band are very excited about what we’ve currently come up with.

Paul is still working on the (last-minute) recordings that were made of our set supporting Darwin Deez at The Kasbah and once he’s happy with those we’ll get them online.

For now, watch this space for new recordings and new gigs.

Gig Cancellation

I’m afraid I have to announce that tomorrow’s gig at 2-Tone Central has officially been cancelled.

There have been no details shared with me so I can’t share any with you :(

However we’re using the time freed to continue to create new material and practice hard in preparation for future gigs.

Random Update

I tell you what, the song we’re currently working on is a stonker. Prepare for something a little bit different from the norm’.

Additionally, we might well be making an appearance at The Albany Club’s open mic night this Sunday. It’s not confirmed 100%, but I reckon it’ll be a laugh and a good opportunity for us to work our chops. Feel free to come on down and say hello. More info on the venue can be found here.

New Site!

Welcome to the new Sizzling Gypsies website!

We’ve now got a much more advanced system, so you the viewer can leave comments, start discussions on how awesome we are, etc. Isn’t that cool?

Also, we recently booked studio time at a local Coventry studio, so expect some gypsie goodness either late this year or early the next one.
