Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have been forced to change the dates of our gigs in December.
We are now playing The Faversham in Leeds on Friday 5th December, supporting ‘Bullion’ @ New Bohemia. It’s our first gig in Leeds since Unity Day in August so come down and we’ll make sure it’s banging!Unfortunately we will not be playing Cargo in London. We were due to do the New Bohemia night there but apparently Cargo has stopped putting on outside promoted events on Fridays. We’re getting on the case to get a gig down there a.s.a.p. ‘coz we had such a good gig down there last time.
Listen to our interview with BBC Leeds’ Raw Talent Xtra here and witness an improptu ‘a cappella’ rendition of ‘Nuevo’ plus Mwen gives us a taste of new tune ‘Judas’.
We’re taking a break from gigging for a bit while D’s away concentrating on finishing her PhD.
Fear not though, we are using the time to write new material and will return in December with two New Bohemia dates. The first one is Friday 5th December at Cargo, London. The next is Friday 12th December at The Faversham, Leeds.
We’re very pleased to be playing Unity Day this year. It’s being held on 16th August this year.
There’s always loads of stuff for everyone to enjoy all day. We’ll be playing in the Band Tent at 9.45pm. So come and down and show your support for community spirit.
Check out our new video, made for us by the highly talented Mr David Wilman.

What a busy time we’ve been having. On 24th January we went up to Durham Uni to play with Pendulum and Skream at the Subotica night. The crowd got well into the vibe of d’n'b being done by live musicians. Slightly dissappointed that Pendulum was only a DJ set, we would have loved to see the full band. Big thanks to the promoters for treating us so well.
The week after that Ana gave birth to a lovely baby boy! Much love to her and her new family.
February 8th saw us playing the Raise the Roof festival at Leeds West Indian Centre. An exellent atmosphere with cool people and a rig from Purple Pro Audio that you wouldn’t believe.
Our next gig is a Unity Day fundraiser on Tues 4th March at Brudenell Social Club in Leeds. Get yourself down there because not only is it for a good cause but you’ll also be able to see Tarentum, Mr Beasley and Cowtown.
2007 has been a brilliant year for Hayashi. We’ve done festivals, we’ve supported amazing bands and our recent London debut @ The Rhythm Factory was a fantastic success. We couldn’t have done all this without all your support so thanks to all you members of the Hayashi family!
Let’s make 2008 an even better year shall we? Keep ‘em peeled as we’ve got some good gigs lined up and we intend to be making noise in various cities around the country.
We’re on on IndieStore/7 Digital. If you download music from that site it counts towards the Top 40. You can find a link to the site in our previous blog. Nuevo & Shopfloor Tigertrap are free so get downloading, tell your friends and spread the word throughout the land!
Thanks again for your support people. Have a very merry christmas & an even merrier new year!
