Looks like we're going to slip the single. Sorry everyone, we don't have enough time now to get everything in place pre Christmas. In better news, we're going back to Spain for a few dates early next year. We heart Madrid!
Apologies for the lack of news folks! We've been having a nice long break over the end of summer but we're back with a new bass player (Mr 'Dan with a tash' Gray) and are ready for serious action. I'm pleased to announce we'll be releasing our next single 'Obstacle Race' early in December. Look out for the video on myspace in the next 2 weeks. Also, keep your eyes peeled for news on Jennie Kong's debut film 'Made By Maggie' which will be appearing at film festivals such as the Miami Film Festival from early November. The film features two Alps tracks including Obstacle Race and old favourite 'Feel So Good'. Nice eh?
We're off on tour to Spain in the next 2 weeks where the album is gettin a release through Origami Records! We can't wait. The next single will release in July not June as previously stated here in UK to make room for Spanish promotional activity. The new vid for Not So Laughable Now is up on the directors you tube page now, we'll have it up on ours too very shortly.
Thanks to all that entered the comp, our winner was Libby of Hemel Hempstead. It was a tough job making a decision, sorry if you haven't heard from us. Shooting finished yesterday and we should have the full video up on myspace/youtube very soon. Check out the blog for a few preview pics of Libby and Dan astride a mighty steed... 'Not So Laughable now' will release on 23rd Jun.
Fancy a starring role in our next video? We're looking for a cute girl to be the love interest in the vid for Not So Laughable Now (which will be our next single out June/July). All you need to do is be free on 2nd/3rd May, send us a pic of yourself and short message on email to alps (@) planetofthealps.com and we'll let you know if you've won or not. You also win a free album and T-shirt if selected. More info on the vid at my blog...
