VIDAR @ Dragonfly Festival 2011…
Whilst playing their set at Dragonfly Festival we headed along and recorded the wonderful Where to Stand. We present the video of said wonderful song here for the pleasure of your eyes & ears, enjoy!
Where to Stand
T’is the run up to Christmas and what better way to up the cheer levels than with the wonderful Happy Hands Club popping round to play us all a song. We know you will but we’ll say it anyway…enjoy!
Lost at Sea
Despite a rather busy schedule prettying up the water ways of our world (not to mention prettying up the sounds going into our ears) Painted Oceans dropped into IMK towers to record this rather lovely little ditty for us! We are sure that you will enjoy! So…enjoy
