So, Just what the blithering hell is going on in Shikari land at the moment? Well…
(see how you have to click on this blog now to find out… oh I’m such a tease… such a naughty tease!)

We’ve almost finished demoing for the new album. Next job is practicing and embellishing what we’ve got ready to properly record it all in the studio next month! After recording the first few tracks (including our forthcoming single) in central London we sniffed about for other studios in slightly less busy hustley bustley areas to record the rest of it. We’ve managed to discover a great studio in Thailand and have decided to do a good deal of the tracking out there which we’re absolutely buzzing about.

The forthcoming single is all mastered now and sounding BIG! We’re filming a video for it soon. We’re also editing a live DVD to release this summer with all sorts of juicy footage from around the world on it. So all pretty busy at the moment!

Touring wise, we’re starting to formulate a plan for a UK and EU and Russian tour later this year and honestly cant wait to reach out to you all once again! At the moment the shows that have a permanent and definitive silhouette on our touring horizon are Rory C’s birthday bonanza in Amsterdam. The serious slog that is Warped Tour, that we’re half dreading, half dying with excitement about!

And of course Shikari are back at Reading & Leeds where we hope to smash the world record for crowd surfers again just like in 2009!

If you haven’t seen it yet make sure you check out ‘Destabilise’ by Jonny & The Snipers.

And our new song ‘Quelle Surprise’ live from Texas last month.

Big up and see you all soon!

P.S. one more thing! Step Up is actually on it’s way at last!

P.P.S. While we’re all here… a couple of awesome videos from never Say Never in Texas, thanks to Light & Noise (http://www.lightandnoise.tv/2011/04/live-tv-030-%E2%80%93-enter-shikari/)…
