More Flower Shop releases

I'd like to share some news I gathered at last month's Sophia gig at the Cactus Festival:
- A date has been set for the release of the SISTER 7". It will be out September first.
- In my previous post I mentioned that SISTER's bass player Steven (who played with Sophia this summer) already played with Sophia in the Summer of 2004. I failed to mention that their guitar player Alan (who also played with Sophia this summer) has also played with Sophia in the past. He was the bass player when they did 'The Infinite Circle' for the Don't Look Back gig in London.
In a previous life Alan used to be a member of the fabulous Sultans Of Ping FC. Their 'Teenage Punks' is one of my favourite singles from the nineties. Check it out here: http://www.myspace.com/thesultansofping and do check out their albums too.
- And there's another Flower Shop Recordings release coming out soon. It will be a 10 inch vinyl mini album from By The Fireside. It will have 6 tracks and is called 'Day of the Burning'. The cd version was released in the UK by Red Deer Club in a 500 copies limited edition.
By The Fireside is the band of Daniel Lea; the very same Daniel Lea who produced the Dark Captain, Light Captain album.
