Hurray! The Fabric is now available from all major retailers and some of the groovy small ones too, as a proper CD forged in the fires of the pressing plant in deep and darkest Europe, and as a digital download neatly encoded and filed away on the world's mightiest media servers primed and ready to fire it into your homes. Of course, you can still buy it from us, and our download version has been lovingly encoded from the original master as high quality 320kbps mp3s and includes a PDF of the artwork and liner notes. You lucky sods.

Win a Fabulous and Amazing Prize!

All those online music retailers go nuts for user reviews so we thought it'd be a good idea to see who can write the best review of The Fabric! And 'best' doesn't have to mean most complimentary - write what you think. We just want to see some interesting writing and read your opinions. Doesn't have to be very long - just a few tightly written lines to encourage people to check out the album and support independent music.

You have fun, now.

Parade had a stonking run of shows with Josh and Co Limited which ended at the Robin2 on Sunday 13th December. We say a massive "Thanks You!" to Bryan Josh for inviting us on these gigs and making them such a pleasure to play. If you were there, thanks to you too - >>>> what did you think?
And if you couldn't make it, never mind - we'll be out again soon enough.

The Fabric is released on 25th January on Voiceprint records so we'll be generating as much promotion as we can muster to support it. Anyone able to help in any way, get in touch.

In the meantime we wish you all the positivity and good vibes in the world this Christmas, even if you're not really bothered about that kind of thing. Just get with some people that mean a lot to you and appreciate them. Maybe listen to some music that makes you happy....

Parade had a fabulous night on Saturday playing with Josh and Co Limited in Bedford. The sound was great, the crowd was great - thanks to all who attended. A very good turn out for two brand new bands! And they even had Chris' favourite bottles of beer in the offy next door.
We had a ball on stage and it was a real thrill to finally get the songs from the Fabric translated to a live setting. And we sold a load of CDs as well (thanks Jeanette!) Everybody we spoke to afterwards was lovely and very keen to hear more from us, which is encouraging and heartening. We relish your support.
Please let us know if you were there and what you thought on the Commune page.
If you weren't there get yourself to the Duchess in York on 4th December or the Robin 2 in Bilston on the 13th for a storming evening.
We've added a photo page for slideshows so if you were at the gig and have any lovely pictures get in touch and we'll put them up.

News this week is that we're all knackered after loads of rehearsing, gigs, exams and wizardry - you don't want to know. Its all good though!

We're preparing for the upcoming gigs with Josh and Co Limited. Chris, Paddy and Gavin are playing in both bands that night, hence all the rehearsing, and are itching to get out and put on an amazing show. You just wait.

We've got some photos to show you, I'll put them next to this post. Some selections from a press shoot by photographer Jon Cotton mixed in with some rehearsal pics and a few from the recording session. We'll keep adding and changing these as the site develops.

Oh, and Parade have signed a distribution deal with Voiceprint which means The Fabric will soon be available from shops and wholesalers worldwide. We're looking for a retail release in January and will keep you posted.

That's it for now. Get your tix booked for these gigs! Details opposite...

Great news! Parade are delighted to be supporting Josh and Co Limited at 3 gigs very shortly. 

For those that don't know Josh and Co Limited are a project led by Bryan Josh, the main man in Mostly Autumn so expect power and passion throughout. These will be 3 very special nights so book early to avoid disappointment.
