Happy new year

It only seems like yesterday that 2008 was still hanging around and stinking out the place, but the old year has finally gone and 2009 promises much for The Peryls.
For a quick recap…
Last year saw the release of our first two EPs, ‘By medicine life may be prolonged’ and ‘Yet death will seize the doctor too.’ … the latter of which is currently receiving positive reviews from magazines such as SoundsXP and God Is In The TV. Both records are still available from Rough Trade and iTunes.
We recruited a fourth Peryl in the form of cellist Louise Carne. So far we’ve not got any photos of her for the Peryls website, but I promise we are slowly getting round to it…
Also, we played a lot of gigs all over London. If you came and saw us, thanks again!
As for 2009, we’ve been rather busy already.
We began the year by supporting The Clientele at the Luminaire in Kilburn on the 9th of January. Many thanks to The Clientele for inviting us… and cheers to all who came out to watch us on that cold and foggy night. Here's a blurry picture...

We have a few more shows booked already, including a return to Christ Church, Gipsy Hill for the ever excellent Freedom of Expression acoustic night on the 30th of January.
Our song-writing sack is fit to burst, such was outpouring of new material over the past few months, so our next task is to record a new EP. Now begins the process of false starts, self-doubt, and fits of murderous rage that make our recording sessions so thrilling. Should we survive, expect to see a brand new Peryls record in time for Easter (or at least in time for the Second Coming).
