We’re very excited to announce that Heligoland will be playing at the Fugues Festival in Paris at the start of March. We’ll be playing on Wednesday March 5 at La Java with Robin Guthrie. Robin has been producing our new record which we’ve been working on together since late last year so it will be fantastic to play a show together. The full programme for the festival is as follows:

Since the last update at the start of January there was one subsequent session where we added keyboards parts for half a dozen of the songs. In what amounts to a truly inter-continential collaboration, our Melbourne-based keyboard player Ash wrote and recorded all his parts in Melbourne and then sent them across for inclusion!
The latest news is that we’ll be mixing the record this coming week with Robin at his studio in Rennes. We’re over the moon with how the record is sounding so far and can’t wait to get started on the mixing. More news soon!
We’ll be embarking on another tour at the start of March. A few days after the show at La Java we’ll be off to Germany, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia for two weeks of shows. Keep an eye on this site and our MySpace for the final itinerary.
