In the ‘Room of Doom’ this week, recording the live bits for our final album demos.
Drums, bass, guitars, synths all 98% complete… so we’re on to vocals, and we’ve both been ill. Hmm.
We don’t have a vocal booth of any sort, so we decided to fashion one out of the sofa-bed in the studio by flipping it on its side. We have no idea if it helps or simply makes everything sound worse, but it is funny.
Cameras on our laptops were left on, filming most of the day. Here’s a video summary.
(The ringing you’ll hear half way through is our friends calling from Slam Dunk festival via FaceTime so we could watch Tek-One’s set… the wonders of technology!)
We’ve started recording our first full-length album at home this week. We will post proper blog updates about the events and disasters that will/have occurred this week, but while we’re getting stuck into the music, we’ll be uploading photos to our Tumblr page.
Check it out daily and follow us! http://www.lightsgoblue.com.tumblr.com
We got involved in some future thinking…
WHAT AN AWESOME SHOW!
Last night we played The Waterfront in Norwich for the second time, with good friends Hadouken and new friends Proxies. We cannot describe in words how amazed we were at the reaction we got, it was absolutely unbelievable.
A few photos below, take a look! We understand a LOT of you couldnt fit in the shot as its a damn wide venue, BUT NO FEAR, we recorded the whole show on video for various video blog things, so hopefully once it’s edited you’ll see yourselves in HD!
THANK YOU once again to everyone that made it such an amazing night for us, wear your t-shirts with pride, like this chap (3rd photo down…) pretty much a dude. All three bands took a moment to sign his shirt with their own artistic visions of how they felt on the night.
…and yes, our game of naughts and crosses on the left did end in a draw.
We’ll be back soon! x
A diary of our one off trip to Glasgow, 26 hours whittled down for your viewing pleasure.
Last week we played Hit The Deck Festival…. Massive thanks to everyone who came to watch us, wasn’t expecting that many people in the room for our first ever show in Nottingham. Awesome to see some familiar faces aswell!
Underoath were on fire… They’re a huge influence to us, so amazing to see them dicking on the main stage.
A video will be put up soon of our time in Notting-HAM. Also another video blog of our random trip up to Glasgow…

A short video of our morning wandering about Hollywood, Los Angeles on our recent 6-week tour of North America. This was one of the best days of our lives. We weren’t allowed to film the ‘good stuff’ so here’s everything else! Enjoy.

As well as the festivals we posted below, we have a couple of one-off shows we’re really looking forward to.
*IMPORTANT NEWS FOR NORWICH FANS*

Our boys in Don Broco have released their awesome new track ‘Beautiful Morning’ recently, but not before they’d asked us to knock out a remix for them. And of course, we obliged.
Both the single and our remixed version are available now to buy from iTunes or by clicking the logo above… and its only £1.58 for both! Come on, you could find that down the back of the sofa without even trying. Go have a look… you can even preview both tracks before you buy.

Here are both parts of our Xmas bash (sponsored by FRONT magazine). Despite the awful snowy conditions and traffic problems we just about managed to make our set. It was an amazing night, packed full of great live performances, dj sets and old friends… a great last show of 2010. Thanks to everybody that managed to make it down. Watch and enjoy…
We’re really excited to announce we’re playing the Enter Shikari/Mythophonic Xmas party sponsored by FRONT Magazine for the second year running. It’s destined to be a great night with some great bands, namely locals Floods, Young Guns, Rolo Tomassi and of course, Shikari. Unfortunately for some, the show is now completely SOLD OUT, but for those attending make sure you’re all in front of the main stage at 6pm to catch our set.
Over 18s can continue the party til 3AM upstairs in the FRONT room. We’ll be there til kickin’ out time, so come hang out and get down to dj sets by Qemists and Shikari’s own Sgt. Rolfy and ROUT. This is an epic way to end our 2010, come celebrate with us! For those missing out, hold tight… 2011′s gonna be a whole lot bigger…
Tonight, we had a lovely surprise. While we were watching Tek-One stomp through a set in Sheffield, we were informed our unreleased track ‘Flashlights’ was played by the dude Hew Stephens on Radio 1!
You can hear it back now by clicking the image below, and if you’re into it please buy our debut EP from our online store… www.lightsgoblue.com/store – It’s the opening track =] x

We bet Howard he couldn’t fit a whole burrito in his gob. He did. We bet Bo he couldn’t eat a spoon of Xtra Hot Nandos sauce. He did.
Tek-One: 2-0 :LightsGoBlue
So it’s day 2 of the Tek-One tour and we were woken up with some bad news. The venue we were set to play that night had been flooded by water… because next door has been burnt down to the ground, and the firefighters are still tackling the flames. Pretty shocked, we had to go and check it out.
Twas true. With nothing left to do, we wandered Nottingham looking for something to entertain us. We pretty much failed. Here’s evidence.
Awesome bands, awesome lads, awesome tour. Thanks to everyone who made this tour what it was, we’ll never forget this one.

Chris and Alex get bored in San Diego before the show. My snare gets thoroughly abused, as if it even needed it.
Spent an hour walking around downtown Seattle with Brandon (SWS). We found some pretty cool/funny shit. I love Seattle. I love the Space Needle. R.
Today we took a 10 hour trip through the beautiful Canadian rockies on our way from Edmonton to Portland. The views were unreal. Saw a wild black bear and some huge Elks!
New York City, taken from the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building.
Philadelphia, 13th October.
Awesome band from Michigan. These guys have a huge following here, and definitely know how to rock it on stage better than most. We became friends almost instantly – a great bunch of guys, and best of all they know how to party hard. Make sure you check ‘em out on their myspace page.
Incredible band, incredible dudes. They’ve really helped us out on this tour, whether it be lending us equipment, helping with merchandising or even tour managing for some parts! Check ‘em out in these short videos we shot in Philadelphia, Unitarian Church. Check out Guiseppe’s mad stick skills in video 2.
Enter Shikari thrashing it in New York. So good.
A few photos we took while wandering about The Big Apple. Thanks to everyone who came and supported us! We really enjoyed the show, we hope to return soon – see you then.
