Hello you lovely people.
As the above title suggests we have just finished our third studio session with the absolute legend that is Mat Sampson in his awesome Bink Bonk Studio. We have recorded another 5 tracks and they have turned out amazingly well.
While gear up for the release of the new EP (title yet to be decided) you can catch a new acoustic song on our MySpace site.
Take care. Gav

"A LIFE WITHOUT LOVE"
Check out our myspace page - www.myspace.com/treehouseburning
You will find a brand new song available to download absolutely free. The song is called "A life without love" and shows a completely new side to the band. Acoustic guitars, sweeping, epic, lush harmonies and not a drum in sight.
Although we have played acoustic shows before, this is our first acoustic recording. It is actually the first of a few we plan to do over the summer before we release the next single.
Each song will be available free for a short time so make sure you download it soon and keep checking back for more free songs.

BBC Radio & a gig
We are playing the Fleece in Bristol on Thursday with the amazing STONE FROM DELPHI.
Come on down for a evening of ROCK. We'll be kicking the whole thing off at about 8.45.
Also, we were played on BBC Radio Bristol on Sunday Morning. The excellent Bristol Uncovered show played THE ESCAPE. The whole show is bloody brilliant - you should defintely have a listen. Here is the playback link - we are on about 1hr 35mins in.

The Comeback
What a week it has been in camp TB. On Saturday we had our comeback gig at our local - The Ring O Bells - and what a night it was! The Trilby, The Gush and Marlon were all excellent support and we played the best set we have ever done with two encores for the crazy crowd. Well over 100 people turned up and we were told by the landlord to stop letting people in. We managed to raise some cash for Ashton Court so all in all a cracking night!
Saturday also saw us get a little radio play on BBC Radio show Fine Tuned: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bristol/content/articles/2007/04/05/finetuned_april_feature.shtml
On Monday night we returned to the Fleece for our first gig there in a year or maybe even two. After Saturdays blinder we weren't expecting too much from this one - other than playing an awesome venue to whoever we could entice out on a Monday night. Unfortunately our headline set was cut short due to a drumming injury - poor Stu smashed his hand and was in agony. Like a true rocker he gaffer taped himself up for one last song. A brief review of the show is below.
A text message from Stu this morning confirms he has broken his finger. Poor bugger did the same thing when we recorded our second EP "The Escape". He broke his finger when recording track one of five and carried on playing to the end. Listen to the EP - he doesn't miss a beat.
Next gig - Friday 11th May - Louisiana.
Treehouse Burning - The Fleece - 30/4 - Ed
If TB are like Clark Kent on record, live they are Superman. Even with a sparse audience they delivered, rocking hard and melodic. In fact they rocked so hard the drummer broke his finger. Still, he taped it up and they finished the understandably short set with The Escape which attracted some female adulation. Oh yeah, the cute singer from Santa Dog was there and she seemed to be feeling the mix of old, new and current songs. Someone give them a deal so they can replace the water with pints of Vodka, make more music and break more bones. I feel a little guilty as I told the guitarist to break a leg before the show - that's showbiz for good luck. Don't ask me why. Maybe Def Leppard can help with the drummer - I believe they have some sort of convoluted contraption for just this eventuality. Hopefully this fire will never go out. Last night they threw some petrol and fireworks in for good measure.

Where did February go?
Well hello amigos. Blog entry number two coming up.
Where the hell did February go? Not much happened. We booked a gig at the Louie and had to cancel it pretty sharpish (personal reasons I'm afraid). We are however stepping up a gear in March. We have had a really nice break but now it is back to business.
We have a few plans in place and want to get back on the local scene in style. As I said before we are planning to record an acoustic EP and will make the songs available free on our myspace page for a short time. Keep your eyes peeled. The songs we have planned for this are pretty damn special.
We are also hoping to put on our own Bristol gig, hopefully with a few of our friends, to make our return after the few months with our feet up - more news to come on this. Hopefully the summer will be full of shows, festivals if we can and the odd acoustic gig.
Things in the TB camp are great right now. 2007 is going to be a good year.

This is a blog
Hello there people.
Welcome to the Treehouse Burning blog. This is the place where you will find out the most up to date news from the band - mainly because it is a stit load easier than updating the website and we are pretty damn lazy.
Right now we are about to start rehearsing the songs for our new EP. Things are going well and we are hoping for a summer release on shakeshakerecords. We are also considering doing an acoustic EP which we may release beforehand. Jamie has just got himself a great acoustic guitar and written some songs that deserve to be heard in acoustic form. We may do some acoustic shows aswell - who knows.
Keep checking this space. I promise to keep you up to date!
Cheers,
Gav & the boys
