ALBUM 3

Dear all,
album three is now written and we are to begin recording it very soon.
Thank you all very much for your kind messages of encouragement throughout the interim and let us now all hope the delivery is relatively quick and without complications.
We’ll let you know more on this as soon as we can.
Also, we’re doing a residency at a club in London over the next month if you’d like to come and try the new songs on for size, we advise very strongly that you do.

Hopefully this means we’ll get to hear this new record in 2008!

We still would love to hear from those of you that attended the first of the Camden Enterprise shows on May 15th. How did the new tracks sound? Wat was this first night’s setlist?
New titles from last year’s tour included ‘The House She Lived In’, ‘Carry On’, and ‘Hanging Rock’.

Following months of silence and two low-key gigs in London at The Paradise (april 5th) and the Rough Trade East record store (april 19th), The Veils have announced four new shows at the Enterprise Tavern in Camden London. As with the April gigs the band are likely to play some of the new songs they’ve been working on since the start of the year.

Enterprise Tavern dates :

May 15th, 2008
June 3rd, 2008
June 10th, 2008
