Check 'em out and get the upcoming gig hashtags at We Were There.

Last night's gig in Exeter was a great success for all. We want to thank everyone who shared photos and thoughts via our little Twitter experiment, We Were There.

We Were Here had an extremely successful release week (30 September). Through social media and word of mouth alone, the album's official UK chart position was 46, and it currently holds position 10 in the the Independent Albums chart. The album will have its official North American release tomorrow, October 8, on Red River Entertainment (order at Amazon.com). Thanks to all our incredible fans for the support and spreading the word. Our UK tour starts in Exeter on 27 October. There are still tickets available for all the gigs, but with all the hype, they're selling fast, so get yours now (dates and ticket links in the live section). Stay tuned right here (or follow us on twitter ) for announcements of any additional live appearances, and thanks to everyone who came out to support us at our in-stores last week.
