Firstly, thanks for your patience! We know it's taken us a while to hit the road and get out and play live - the main reason for this is the depressing nature of the UK live music scene over the last few years. If you're not a tribute band, forget it - and an eclectic band like us is pure anathema! For that reason, we decided to focus all of our efforts on aiming high and attempting to land one of the select number of worldwide festivals where music such as ours is appreciated. Finally, in the wake of the immensely critically acclaimed 'Argot', we've been successful....

Thieves' Kitchen will play in the Hotel Araiza Inn in Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico at around 1pm on Thursday, March 7th, 2002. We expect to be playing for a good 90 minutes, so at last we'll get to blow the cobwebs off the bulk of the work from the first two albums - not that we haven't already begun writing for the third...

We are very excited by the line up of gigs we’ve been able to obtain. It will be wonderful to cut our teeth in the UK before we travel overseas, and the King William is a very rock orientated venue in the centre of Northampton. Please try to get along to this, our very first live show!

Orion in Baltimore is a very celebrated progressive rock gig - a long line of prog luminaries have trodden the boards there. It is probably the most important regular prog concert venue on the East Coast of the USA. DFA from Italy will help to provide a night to remember!

Baja Prog! One of the best known prog festivals in the Americas, and certainly the most well known show in the West these days. Everyone who’s anyone in the prog world will be there, and we are delighted to have been invited to play. More info at www.bajaprog.com

The Peel is fast becoming a haven for prog in south west London, and it will be good to return from our overseas jaunt with another UK show before we settle down to writing the third album. Qadesh, our support, are an excellent up and coming progressive band, too.

Finally, the well-known haunt of the HLC in Rotherham will mark our first performance for the Classic Rock Society, which is familiar territory for many UK proggers. This is a all day festival, and should be a lot of fun before we take a break over the summer to compose material for the third album, which is already underway at the time of writing…
