On Saturday 28th June we opened up the second day of Togfest, and as per usual, where ever there is a great music event, there is a great live music photographer and journalist… Steffi Lewis!

Steffi caught our set, and the photos you can see on our photo gallery, and has done a review of the two days. Here is the review of the Saturday, including a review of our performance.

Thanks to those of you who came to watch us. Do leave a comment if you did, tell the world what you thought of it, and we look forward to seeing you again soon

This is your chance to help us… prize included!

ReverbNation is a networking site for musicians that provides us with lots of features, far more than that of MySpace, which allow us to promote our music, make our music available for your listening pleasure, and to stay in touch with you better. So, if you haven’t already, we ask you, kindly, to sign up and become a fan!

The Mission -

Once you’re signed up to ReverbNation, go to our profile, and click on the street team tab. Join that (anyone can join, and we don’t expect commitment… though we would love you eternally for it!), and select the current mission. At the moment, we’re aiming to spread our music. In the mission briefing, it’ll give you access to the resource required… the Tune Widget. Get the code for this widget and put it on every profile you can, like Myspace, in all your bulletins, websites… anywhere you can. We can track who is getting us the most hits, and plays, so we can reward the appropriate person. For this to work, it is important you grab the widget from the resources for the current mission, otherwise we can’t track your plays and hits!

Other reasons to sign up include…

Are you hacked off with constantly receiving mass emails from bands about things you don’t need to know about? We don’t need to bombard you with loads of gig updates for a bunch of shows here in Milton Keynes if you live in the states, do we…?

ReverbNation will allow us to target groups of people for information appropriate to them. People who can, without a several hour flight, get to gigs in an area will receive emails about gigs in that area… while people out of reach of our shows will receive only the other updates like release dates, and as and when, information about upcoming tours in their country… for say.

So… We hope you’ll consider taking the time to give us a helping hand Thanks for reading.

Hello again,

I’ve made us a profile on Bebo, so those of you who use Bebo can find us and add us on there! www.bebo.com/terrapintrainstation. It’s a bit plain at the moment but give me time… It’s been hard work trying to get everything together at once.

For those of you using iLike, our profile is at www.ilike.com/artist/terrapin+trainstation. Please tell everyone you iLike us and add our tunes to your facebook profile and stuff… yeah!

I’ll be doing a post soon on the importance of Last.fm & iLike and how you can use them for your benefit and ours. Until then, allow me to once again point you to www.reverbnation.com/terrapintrainstation, where if you become a fan of us, and sign up to our mailing list… you can hear a full-length preview of ‘Tell Me Why’! There are also samples of the whole album for everyone to hear.

I might be able to get more news about the release of the album when I see the rest of the guys later this morning at Togfest. It’s in Bradwell Abbey, Milton Keynes, MK13 9AP. Tickets are £15. We’re getting there about 11am, for the start of the festival, so, maybe see some of you there

Hi everyone,

All of us from Terrapin Trainstation would like to say hello, and thanks for checking out our new site.

This is it.

Here, we’ll keep you posted with every single piece of news, big or small, as matters unfold. Feel free to comment on posts with your thoughts, feelings, questions and suggestions and one of us, or more, shall get back to you… with ours! We want you to be involved. So, click the orange RSS feed and add this feed to your favourites to stay up to date with everything from gigs schedule, to progress on the album, to anything.

If you look above, there is a navigation bar where you can see the pages on this site. Biography, gig listings (with dates, locations, EVEN A MAP SHOWING WHERE EACH GIG IS), and soon will have pages for each band member. On the member pages, we’ll all have a twitter badge so you can see what we are all, personally, up to along with any more info you might like. Again, feel free to comment! Comment, comment, comment

On the right, we have links to our band profiles on various networking sites including MySpace, ReverbNation, Last.fm. There are more to come, including Bebo, iLike, Garageband, OurStage etc…
