Tour starting tomorrow!

In 24 hours we'll be probably waiting to get onto the ferry from Ostend to Ramsgate, ready for our third UK tour. 9 shows in 9 days. Check the dates out on the left of this post.
The 9th and last date has been confirmed just yesterday. Derby on the 30th it is! At the Vaults, with some of our favorite UK bands: Dauntless Elite and Caves.
We are really excited for this all! If you have to chance please come to one of the shows and have a beer with us...

Venue changed for coming Monday!

Unfortunately the Buk Buk had to pull out on the Crazy Arm / Cut Ups / SE show for Monday January 17th. The venue will be changed. If you were planning on coming please make sure you are 'attending' on the facebook event or send an e-mail to sweetempire[a]gmail.com and we will send you directions to the gig!
