20th November 2012

We recently hinted that we hoped to have a final 2012 show to tell you about and we're very pleased that we can now confirm the details of this. We're supporting Ultrasound at the Bodega in Nottingham on Wednesday 5th December and it should be an excellent night. Ultrasound have recently released their very well recieved second album, Play For Today, after a long time away follwing their classic debut Everything Picture in 1999.

Details of the show are here:

http://www.bodeganottingham.com/gigs/175/ultrasound

Note that it's an early show with doors at 7.00pm. I would imagine that we'll be on not much later than 7.15pm so please get there early and then we can all have a few beers afterwards. We have a cheap list on the night so please contact us and let us have your names and you'll get in on the door for a fiver, rather than the nine quid it'll cost to get advance tickets normally. Not only will you get to see a full Herd electric set for the first time since late summer but we're also gonna take the opportunity to play some songs we haven't played for a while and also some brand new songs that are destined for the album that is currently in preparation.

We look forward to seeing you on 5th December to celebrate what has been another excellent year of progress for the band.

30th October 2012

Just a quick note to let you know we're still alive! We took a few months off for the first time in years at the end of summer but are now getting back up to speed and writing and rehearsing a lot of new material for our debut album which will be landing next year. We're also looking at the possibility of playing a final 2012 show in Nottingham and we'll let you know about that as soon as we can. In the meantime don't forget our current cataloge is available via our Bandcamp page. See you soon.
