We had our EP launch party at the Wight Rock Bar and we’re incredibly proud to say that we SOLD IT OUT!</p> <p>The last time we played this venue, it was our first ever gig back in August to a room of 40 or so people, fast forward 9 months down the line and we’re selling out our first show to a room of 150 sweaty people that are screaming our lyrics back at us and bringing us back on for an encore. This was the best gig of our lives, and we truly believe this a big step forward for us, we look forward to what the future brings.</p> <p>Thank you so much for everybody who made this happen. Everybody who turned up, bought an EP, bought some merch, sang the lyrics, put their arms up in the air, got photos, gave us hugs - Thank you, everything you do goes a long way and we really appreciate every single one of you. </p> <p><br/>Our EP can now be purchased for just £3 at <a href="http://www.wavesiow.bandcamp.com">www.wavesiow.bandcamp.com</a></p> <p><strong> - W A V E S</strong></p> <p><strong>x<br/></strong></p>http://wemakewaves.tumblr.com/post/50724690229http://wemakewaves.tumblr.com/post/50724690229Sat, 18 May 2013 13:53:31 +0100waveswaves_ukW A V E Sisle of wightiowwight rock barwrblocalunsigned musicnewalternativerockindiegigmusicconcertlive<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/162d198be99a857f4886fe0849a3731d/tumblr_mmxyhfHn5P1rqlowxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>We knew Tim’s GCSE arts ‘n’ crafts would come in handy one day… ;)</p> <p>See you tonight :) x</p>http://wemakewaves.tumblr.com/post/50646980105http://wemakewaves.tumblr.com/post/50646980105Fri, 17 May 2013 12:56:03 +0100wavesisle of wightep launch partyiowwight rock barunsigned music<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ot7dyvBl0k8?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://wemakewaves.tumblr.com/post/50344949211/hello-tumblr-followers-were-so-happy-and">wemakewaves</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><em><strong>Hello Tumblr followers.</strong></em></p> <p>We’re SO happy and excited that we can finally share with you what we have been busy recording.
