Happy New Year!

A very happy new year to you all, my resolution this year is to maintain the band's website and promote our gigs better!

Here is a start to that with a glimpse into how 2014 is shaping up so far...

- A proper CD available to buy with the album Egotesticle on it. The music has been ready for over a year but we've not done anything with it as it's not played live anymore. You can hear it here:

- A new album recorded at Grubby Nun studios. It'll be the first time I've relinquished control of the recording to someone else but I trust Kerry at GN to do a great job. It'll be totally recorded live in one room and will be the new line-up playing all the new songs as we do LIVE. For those who are familiar with my recorded output this is quite a departure!

- Lots of gigs!

- Today I compiled some highlights from reviews and messages from fans that we have received, here it is. Thanks to those who wrote them, we love you!

A few choice phrases from promoters and magazines:

'Never fail to entertain with their set of exquisite songs'

'Leo Brazil and his Twitch brought the house down tonight! What an awesome set.' - Bar 122

'...compulsory toe tapping, hand clapping, head nodding...it definitely keeps you on your toes...' - Dirt Cheap Magazine.

'their style of music is certainly unique...rocks with fuzzy blues...something for everyone' - No Title

'...absolutely fantastic set on Friday night and one of the highlights of the festival for most of us!' - Strange Reality Music

'...makes a very strong impression indeed...lyrically delightful...energetic songs and lively performances.' - The Leeds Scenester.

'Leo Brazil and his Twitch shook the canvas with a memorably avant garde folk rock performance'. - Ale Talk review of a beer festival gig.

and a few selected nice words from people who sent us emails etc after being in the audience...

'Thoroughly enjoyable. I was intrigued by (the) band; with most there is a recognisable style / theme etc but Twitch were thoroughly eclectic - everything from urban blues, via Morrricone, hoedown etc, with a discernible political theme.' - Martin

'Stellar performance...rare because it has ethical depth, political truth and emotional significance, but the musicality is also beautiful.' - Yasmin

'You guys are awesome' - John

'You lads were brilliant' - Andy
