There are tour dates coming. I've seen em. Probably nothing definite for a while, people like to....I don't know. Haggle? Change their minds? But what there is at the moment involves Europe, April, and May. Maybe just get out your calendar, or wait to see if you get a 2009 one for Christmas, and run a big gold line through those months with a VEILS? beside it.
It's hot in Australia. And the birds can all imitate mobile phones.

*** TONIGHT 2 February 2009, 14:03
Tonight’s show at Ginglik has been cancelled – icy roads and a near paralysed public transport system are not a good combination for putting on shows. It has been rescheduled for February 9th and your tickets will still be valid – if you do need a refund please contact whoever sold you the ticket and explain it’s not your fault, it’s the snow’s. Crossing fingers for tomorrow.
We are all very proud to announce the completion of our third album titled ‘Sun Gangs’. We went a little quiet over the past month but I assure you there has been much toiling behind the scenes to bring this little bundle of joy to you in the state we intended.
It is an album we are all immensely proud of here in the west London Veils HQ, a record full of twists and turns that we hope will be of use to you in some way or another. The final tracklisting is as follows, it’ll be in shops in April.
***** 1. Sit Down By The Fire 2. Sun Gangs 3. The Letter 4. Killed By The Boom 5. It Hits Deep 6. Three Sisters 7. The House She Lived In 8. Scarecrow 9. Larkspur 10. Begin Again *****
We have been filming some small visual treats which we will put on our website over the next few weeks including acoustic renditions of some of the new songs and two new music videos, one filmed in New Zealand with our dear friend Sean Grattan, and one in London with recent acquaintances the equally wonderful Jane Pollard & Iain Forsyth.
The tidal wave of interviews is to commence soon and I must ask all of you to please consider while reading them that I am by nature a shy and increasingly insular human being that when confronted with a line of heavy questioning will lie stolidly and mercilessly until the threat desists. Thank you, and now let’s go have a lovely year.

Sun Gangs by The Veils - Released: Apr 07 2009
The Veils are Finn Andrews, (vocals, guitar, piano, New Zealand) Sophia Burn, (bass, New Zealand) Dan Raishbrook (guitar, odd noise, England) and Henning Dietz (drums, Germany). Sun Gangs is their third album, and without a doubt their finest to date.
By turns epic, desolate, wildly romantic and anguished, Sun Gangs is a bold and distinctive record described by Finn as “a very modern mixture of prayers, love letters and personal record keeping”. Produced by Graham Sutton (Jarvis Cocker / British Sea Power / Bark Psychosis) it is their most ambitious record yet ranging from the yearning elegy of ‘Sit Down By The Fire’, to the charred, mantis-like groove of ‘Killed By The Boom’ - this is a record unlike many we are likely to hear this year.
So many stories, words, tones and ideas punctuate its gradually unfolding landscape as that incomparable voice cries and hollers. “’Sit Down By The Fire’ is about watching something collapse, and it being quite pretty to look at,” offers Finn. “’Killed By The Boom’ is possibly about The Wire’s Omar Little. ‘It Hits Deep’ is about being a man, in a bar alone, on a tropical island resort, as the light gets dim and the world goes fuzzy. ‘Larkspur’ is somewhere else entirely.”
“I really wanted to write something that hangs together in perhaps a not so obvious way; not just some collection of singles but a real voyage into something, something strange and unspecific but totally emotionally consuming. It’s also kinda just a break-up record in many ways.”
Finn’s father Barry Andrews was a founding member of the highly influential group XTC in the late 1970s, later going on to tour with the likes of Robert Fripp & Brian Eno, Iggy Pop & David Bowie.
In younger days in Auckland, thousands of miles away from his father, Finn sang at a folk club up a volcano, and sidelined a desire to paint when he began hearing musicians like Tom Waits, Nina Simone, Leonard Cohen, Roy Orbison & Bob Dylan - contemplating that there was perhaps more to life than the bleeping Eighties electronica and early days of New Wave which had surrounded his first London foray.
In Sun Gangs The Veils have brought Finn’s early influences full circle, and created a record that truly lives up to the huge promise and talent that they have always exhibited.
