Hi all - it's been an interesting start to 2012, what with a couple of new songs introducing some distinct sounds, and a new guitar set up that really brings Rik to centre stage!  Recording has taken a little break, but we are ready to get back into it in the next few weeks, with the hope to get some tracks on this site. 

We also will look at venues further afield and will keep you posted on future gigs.  We've also added a contacts page to get on our mailing list to hear the latest news.

Lots more to come!

Alright, it's a little late!  Although it's been quiet on the website, Familiars have been busy over Christmas, supporting The Abstracts in December at The Vaults - a Christmas Extravaganza! We're discovering new sounds and potential songs all the time, which is so exciting for us all, and we still have that first album to tackle!  We are planning to start with an EP later this year.

Our next gig is on Friday 11th November, at the New Brewery Arts Centre in Cirencester - a guest of the regular Brewery Blues event.

A new page has been added with a history of our gigs in Cirencester so far - along with some wonderful flyers, produced by our frontman Steve Skinley.

Many of you who have come along to our gigs have asked whether we have any material for you to listen to in the comfort of your iphone, or whatever.  The good news is that we have started recording material for our first album as a five peice band - collaborating with local producer and sound engineer Mark Harris.  We'll keep you posted on how we get on, and when you can expect to see a nicely packaged CD.  We're working very, very hard...honest!

More pages to be added, plus artwork for gigs past...

First entry of the Familiars blog! The site has only just been registered, and a whole lot more to be added, including photos, news of recordings and upcoming gigs.
