Yes y'all,

Ok, gonna get straight down to business this week:

-----EXTRA CURRICULAR AT MANCHESTER ACADEMY-----

First up, we've had a last minute booking to play at Manchester Academy Club Academy this coming Wednesday (13th October). The event is called Biko Live and it looks amazing! Appearing on the bill are Extra Curricular, Homecut, Chris Royal, and many other great artists. In addition to this there will be live dance, art, and DJs - gonna be a proper jam yo! We're ON STAGE at midnight, ENTRY is £4.

-----EXTRA CURRICULAR ACOUSTIC SET AND SESSION-----

We're doing a special, super-intimate acoustic set at The Media Centre, Huddersfield on 20th of October. We're really excited about this event because it gives you the opportunity to hear our songs in a completely different way! We've reworked songs to fit to this intimate setting, so expect to hear your favourite Extra Curricular music like you've never heard it before! Check the facebook event HERE

Studio Update, Upcoming Events, Week 17 of 24

Hey Hey Hey,

So, we've finished the first week in the studio! Drums and Bass are completely recorded and we've spent the last two days editing them - sounding sweet! We've got a couple of new tracks in this batch of tunes and let me tell you - THEY ARE FIRE!! We can't wait to play them at our future shows, which brings me on neatly to the next topic:

***********We are playing two shows this week*************

Thursday 15th April @ The Swan, Ipswich*** - great little venue that has seen the likes of Golden Silvers, Akil the MC (Jurassic 5), Mumford and Sons, DJ Format, and Gift of Gab tread the boards - let's hope it's a sign :)

***Saturday 17th April @ The Elbow Rooms***, Leeds - we love playing shows in Leeds and this promises to be a real treat as its FREE and we're being supported by the wonderful Mouse Outfit http://www.myspace.com/themouseoutfitwho have been pushing the live hip hop vibe over in Manchester. I cannot stress how COOL this show is gonna be :)
