කළුතර ප්‍රදේශයේ පිලිප් නැමති පුද්ගලික රෝහලකින් ඉවතලන සායනික අපද්‍රව්‍ය දොඩංගොඩ, නෑහින්න ,ගොඩහේනවත්ත ප්‍රදේශයට බැහැර කිරීම හේතුවෙන් එම රෝහලට විරෝධය පාමින් ප්‍රදේශවාසින් විසින් එම රෝහල ඉදිරිපිටදී ඊයේ (11) උද්ඝෝෂණයක් පැවැත්විය.

මෙම ප්‍රදේශයට එම රෝහලේ සායනික අපද්‍රව්‍ය තොග බැහැර කරන බවට එම ප්‍රදේශයේ ජනතාව විසින් දිගින් දිගටම රෝහල් බලධාරීන්ට හා කළුතර ප්‍රාදේශීය සභාවේ සභාපතිවරයාව සහා දොඩංගොඩ ප්‍රාදේශීය…

Paper Tigers - "Haunts"  Mixed and produced by Romesh Dodangoda at Longwave Studio's. One of the tracks from the LIFEBLOODS E.P. and certainly one of my favourites. It was one of those tracks that had such varied influences from everyone involved. I'm still surprised it's less than four minutes long.  

The idea for the video came across rather naturally. We wanted a simple idea that focused on a live performance, keeping it low cost and straightforward, which really helped us during shooting.

After seeing Sigur Ros perform "Popplagið" in their film "Heima" (Icelandic 'for at home') I’ve become mesmerised with shadows, light and their meaning and I jumped on the opportunity to shoot something similar. The idea was born in the studio from a sentence like "we could play behind a curtain and put the lyrics over it, that would be cool". We certainly didn't sit around and discuss the symbolism of shadows in great depth. I could, but if we did I can guarantee the video wouldn't have been made. I only attempted to go all 'film student' once during the 'LIFEBLOODS' recording session and it went down as smoothly as broken glass.

In truth, the idea was just that. An idea. But it 'felt' right. It didn't matter that the £1000+ camera equipment we rented was faulty and we shot it last minute on something else. Our idea was simple, which allows it to be changed if any problems arise without much difficulty and that was an important lesson.

Peace and love,

Ladies & Gentlemen, boys and girls....

Happy new year to you all, hope you've all enjoyed your time off over the festive period with your families and loved ones.

So we thought, we'd better let you in on what we've been up to!

We've been holed up in our rehearsal space, putting the finishing touches to our next release, which is yet to be titled. We can confirm that it will be an EP. At this point we are in discussions of which format to bring it out in. Obviously it will be available digitally, but in regards to a CD/Vinyl release this is yet to be confirmed!

We head into the studio in February to finish the record with a very good friend and a familiar name to you by now I'm sure, the incredible Romesh Dodangoda. He did indeed work on our first full length album "The Company We Keep" which you can stream entirely on our Bandcamp or purchase on Amazon or Play.com

Keep your eyes peeled for vlogs on our YouTube channel over the next couple of weeks, we'll be updating things from rehearsal and eventually from the studio.

There you can also view our video for Earth From Space If you haven't already!

Right after the studio we are playing a show at our local music venue with the incredible Tiger Please, you can view the Facebook Event for that here.

We just want to thank you for your continued support through everything we've done and really look forward to seeing you this year, and hopefully we'll get the chance to tour mainland Europe again!

Thanks all

Jon
