Ok, so we’re all becoming a bit slack on updating this wonderful blog about us, the Douglas Furs, the wonder that is. So I’m going to try and update more regularly, even if it is just “we did a practice, it went ok, we’ve got a gig on X date”.

Well, since our last update in May, we’ve been chugging along quite happily as a band. A couple of gigs at the Spotted Dog in Digbeth (RIP – No more music there) and a couple in our regular haunt of the Hare & Hounds in Kings Heath (they keep letting us play there for some reason!).

Most importantly, we have a gig on Friday the 22nd of August, which has kind of sneaked up on us – not sure about the other guys, but I know I had forgotten about it! What makes this so important is that we have a new song to play *cue waving and cheering from out fans*. Yes, that’s right, we have a new song. You’ll have to come see us play if you want to hear it, but lets just say I think its one of the best drum beats I’ve come up with in a while, and it generally is awesome!

In the pipeline, we have a couple of songs we jammed out in a practice, and will be working on in the coming weeks to polish up, and hopefully, if all goes well, we’ll play them at our next gig, TBC.

In the meantime, leave some comments, have a browse, look at our cool webpage www.douglasfurs.co.uk and we hope to see you at our next gig!

So I’ve taken the initiative and recorded a few snippets of songs from our rehearsals to give you a small taste of some of our stuff. Be warned though: It was recorded on my Nokia 6280 so quality is really low. Abysmal almost. And they’re amr files so you may need to download Quicktime or VLC to listen to them. Enjoy though and drop me a comment
