We have finally decided that mainland Europe has been ignorant of our music for too long. It's time to correct this oversight. We are heading out for one week only to hit up six major cities across the mainland:<br> </p>
<p>6-4-23 Belgium - Au Bout De Nos Rêves </p>
<p>7-4-23 Amsterdam - The Cave Rock Club </p>
<p>8-4-23 Geleen - Muziekcafé de Meister </p>
<p>10-4-23 Vienna - COCO Bar | Vienna </p>
<p>11-4-23 Fledbach - Glam Feldbach </p>
<p>12-4-23 Prague - Hospoda Brouk </p>
<p>We will be playing some old classics of ours, but more importantly, we will be throwing some of our new album tracks at them with such zealous ferocity, we might need a legal disclaimer to keep us from being deported back to the UK.</p>The Final Clause of Tacitustag:tfcot.com,2005:Post/69959652022-06-17T11:35:51+01:002022-06-17T11:35:51+01:00Don't Make a Sound<p>"For crying out loud, don't make a sound." These words have been going round my head for months. Are they oxymoronic or a juxtaposition? I guess you'll decide when you hear our new song, <em>For Crying Out Loud </em>releasing on 13th July. One thing is for certain, you won't care on the finer points of syntax and definition by the end of the song as you'll have those damn words going round your head and, if you're anything like me (a sucker for a catchy hook), will have it going round your head for longer than you might wish. I've found that embracing it is the only way not to go mad. Now I'm off to listen to our new single <em>again...</em></p>The Final Clause of Tacitustag:tfcot.com,2005:Post/69506332022-04-18T09:51:37+01:002022-04-18T09:51:37+01:00When did music videos become painful?<p>We filmed the music video to our next release the other day. Turns out, spending 2 years locked inside trying not to contract some virus called COVID, can put you out of practice for a few things. For me it was jumping around like a kangaroo on cocaine whilst playing my guitar. Or rather, it was the ability to maintain said jumping around. The first take of the music video nearly killed me. It then dawned on me that we still probably had around another 25 takes of filming before we were done and I had set my bar extremely high on the expected energy levels. Refusing to believe that I was so unfit, I continued. In fact, we all did. By the time we finished, I was too weak to even pick up my guitar case and amp and take them back to the car. Pathetic. Still the video is looking really good, thanks to Loki Films. We will be releasing it some time in the near future so keep your little peepers peeled people. As for me, I'm going to drink another cup of tea (rock and roll tea, of course) and try and forget the harrowing experience of filming this video and the subsequent one week it took me to recover...pathetic...</p>The Final Clause of Tacitustag:tfcot.com,2005:Post/68198912021-11-24T10:33:11+00:002021-11-24T10:33:11+00:00Things are now interesting<p>Holy crap! It's finally released. Our collab with Hed PE has finally been released and so far 16 thousand people have watched the video within 4 days of release. That's numbers we can be proud of. We wrote the track (minus lyrics) and sent it over to Jared and knew it was an absolute monster banger of a track when we heard what he had laid down. They then go and say that they will release it, which is even better as they obviously have a bigger fan base than us (he said with no amount of jealousy at all...no seriously...ok, maybe a little jealousy). Thanks all. Let's hope this means we can now bring the funk, groove and good times to more people. </p>
<p>Next up is Christmas. Now what could we do for that, I wonder...</p>The Final Clause of Tacitustag:tfcot.com,2005:Post/67676822021-10-06T14:45:06+01:002021-11-24T10:33:39+00:00Things are about to get interesting...<p>So with our new drummer, Jay, comfortably practiced in, we are looking forward to our upcoming releases and recordings and videos and, of course, gigs!</p>
<p>The next release isn't actually coming from us though. You might have all remembered that we were happy to be doing a collaboration with Hed PE. Well that track is now on it's way and being released by the Hed PE guys (well their label). You won't miss it - we'll probably flood the internet with the news when it finally drops, which is SOON!</p>
<p>After that, Jot Maxi, of Hactivist will be featuring on an upcoming track.</p>
<p>Hell, we're psyched up! I hope you are too. </p>The Final Clause of Tacitustag:tfcot.com,2005:Post/66301222021-05-14T10:28:46+01:002021-11-24T10:35:05+00:00Asinine Music for the Solemn and Staid is out!!<p>I told you new music was on its way. Our new EP is now out on all streaming and download platforms that are worth anything. It is called Asinine Music for the Solemn and Staid, which is a bit of a mouthful, but we like it and I promise we didn't name it this just to sound fancy - the name makes perfect sense. Check out this <a contents="review" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://mmhradio.co.uk/the-final-clause-of-tacitus-asinine-music-for-the-solemn-and-staid-ep-14-5-21/?fbclid=IwAR3XqTrqq4Dzh9d7rw6sQwbdKlw-tHvTRLdzRsv3w3_lVlyOU54j_NseG7o" target="_blank">review</a> (opens in new window) of it if you want to get some incite to it.</p>
<p>It's worth mentioning now that originally the EP was 5 songs, but it is now only 4. That's because Jahred Gomes of Hed PE is releasing the final song on an album of his later in the year so you'll have to wait for that one...seems like all we do is wait...</p>The Final Clause of Tacitustag:tfcot.com,2005:Post/64916032020-12-04T14:07:17+00:002021-10-15T14:59:40+01:00Something is on it's way<p>Honestly. We have new material on the way. My eyes hurt from looking at the mixing screen on my computer all day and my fingers hurt from laying down more guitar tracks than I know what to do with. We are looking forward to showing it to everyone, but, we will only let you hear it when it's ready so just hang tight.</p>The Final Clause of Tacitustag:tfcot.com,2005:Post/64085482020-08-13T15:18:22+01:002021-09-18T21:39:01+01:00Why don't you remix your old stuff?<p>This is a question that we have never been asked, so in response to this fabricated question we have remixed an old track for everyone. Who remembers Give Them Blood? It was one of our catchier tracks from our first EP release. What's that? You don't remember it? Well you had better go and listen to the first offering of TFCoT this instant over on our <a contents="Spotify" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://open.spotify.com/album/0Y7S7X29T6dNUo8oaK8AAe?si=i9QsWMHPSDe4sJ2no_FkjA" target="_blank">Spotify</a>.

<p>We intend to release 3 songs total this year in the hopes of blasting as many people as possible with positive funk, rock and groove. Stay tuned to see what we will be releasing next. Or better yet, listen/watch the whole of Antiquity and tell us which song you would want to hear played on the radio station you listen to.</p>

Through several rounds we managed to play ourselves to victory from a pool of 64 highly talented bands. And now for the even more exciting news (well for us anyway)...As the winners we get the huge honour of playing at Britain's best small music festival, Wikestock in a couple of weeks time.

<p>Seems a bit heavy for a fun loving funkers at first glance, but this really is going to be a new era for the band. We are completely changing the way we are doing this release and we hope it is for the better. The album will be called Antiquity and will be released periodically throughout 2019, which, granted, is nothing super new in modern times - all the big acts seem to be doing it this way. What we are doing is creating an entire movie to go along with the album. Each song will be released with the next chapter in the movie and we hope it is going to make you crap your proverbial pants with anticipation, excitement and funk. Funk being the most important.</p>
<p>Stay tuned you wonderfully funk-loving people.</p>
<p>Are you ready for the new era?</p>

<p>Keep being funky.</p>The Final Clause of Tacitustag:tfcot.com,2005:Post/50386822018-01-23T15:24:08+00:002018-02-26T07:07:12+00:00Then the first review came in.<p>With the EP finished and set to hit stores on 9th Feb, we have been busy pushing it into the hands of the media. Critics, reviewers, magazines, ezines. The lot. The shear amount of music these people get sent on a daily basis is staggering, which means it always takes longer than you want to actually get stuff reviewed. So we have been doing what we do best and going out gigging around the UK to keep our minds occupied - waiting for reviews to come in is stressful work!</p>
<p>Then the first review came in.</p>
<p>We love our most recent EP. But hell, everyone loves their own work. If you don't, you're not doing it right. Doesn't mean other people have to like it. Anyway, the first review came in and you can see it <a contents="here" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.threesongsandout.com/single-post/2018/01/18/The-Final-Clause-Of-Tacitus---Not-Like-The-Rest-EP-Review" target="_blank">here</a> (opens in new window). Spoiler alert, it got 5 stars.</p>
<p>This has creaked opened the flood gates and reviews are now trickling in and we hope that they only get opened further as every review so far has given it the highest of accolades they can. Two have even stated it is the best EP of the year, happily stating this even though it is only January. </p>
<p>We will post the reviews on our Facebook page so keep your eyes open and as always, thanks to all our fans for supporting us.</p>The Final Clause of Tacitustag:tfcot.com,2005:Post/49070792017-10-26T09:40:55+01:002017-10-26T09:40:55+01:00The time is nearly here... <p>TFCoT are back into the studio over at Creative Control with Al Heslop to record our second EP 'Not Like The Rest' and we couldn't be more excited. We have 6 new tracks to get you all funked up ready for the new year. Keep an eye out for more details to follow... </p>
<p>With only a few more live shows left to play this year, make sure you check out our 'shows' section or follow us on Bands In Town by clicking here. <a contents="http://bandsintown.com/TheFinalClauseOfTacitus?came_from=174" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://bandsintown.com/TheFinalClauseOfTacitus?came_from=174" target="_blank">http://bandsintown.com/TheFinalClauseOfTacitus?came_from=174</a> </p>
<p>Our last show of the year will be a local one on 24th November at the Lyndhurst in Reading, playing a very special intimate show to celebrate the anniversary of the venue. This night is going to go OFF!!</p>The Final Clause of Tacitustag:tfcot.com,2005:Post/48498762017-09-14T11:15:28+01:002021-05-21T02:29:01+01:00Biggest update yet!<p>Well, it's good to have the time to give everyone an update as we have several exciting bits of news to announce.</p>
<p>First off, since Luke left and Daryl boldly took his place, we have had ourselves a busy summer of gigging and getting him up to speed. It is always an uneasy time when a new member joins, but we have been well received in every venue we have played in (thanks to everyone who came to watch us btw) and we are now as good as ever - at least we think so!</p>
<p>This, by the by, brings me quite conveniently onto the second bit of news. During the very short time that Daryl has been with us, we have managed to write a whole new set of songs and are very pleased to announce that we will be going back into the studio later this year to record them. We will be bringing you a new 6 track EP that will hopefully light your funk on fire and also hopefully take us to the next stage of our master plan of musical world domination. The funk needs to be brought back to the masses and we'll be damned if it's not us to bring it. It is still early days as we will expect to release it in the new year, but we like to keep all you lot up to date.</p>
<p>Lastly, during our summer of gigs, we finally managed to find the time to film our next music video! We will be releasing it to our fans as soon as it is finished so keep yourselves clued in if you want to be among the first to watch it. We will be expecting to make the final releases of our first EP - Peace in Chaos - throughout the final months of this year to make way for our next one.</p>
<p>Anyway, here's a huge thanks to all the festivals, venues, promoters and other bands we played with over the summer. It's been good fun working with you all.</p>
<p>As for you lot, stay funky and make sure you eat your vegetables.</p>The Final Clause of Tacitustag:tfcot.com,2005:Post/47601992017-06-28T18:50:26+01:002017-06-28T18:50:26+01:00Moving forward, one funky foot at a time…<p>Sorry we have been a bit quiet here at TFCoT central, but we have been busy behind the scenes. As you have now heard Luke has made the decision he can no longer continue with the band and we fully support him in everything for the future. We have been hard at work training up our new drummer Daryl Malloy , so we will be ready for our first show with Daryl on 8th July at Basingstoke Live festival. We have two shows left with Luke, being this Friday as we headline Maidenheads Anchor Rocks Fest and then on Saturday when we play Minety Festival. Make sure you come down and show your support for these last two shows with Luke. </p>
<p>Secondly, we have not one but TWO music videos in the making from our debut EP ‘Peace in Chaos’, which is still available for download on all the usual platforms. So, watch this space! </p>
<p>Lastly we have a new T-shirt design out now, available to buy from our website or at any of our shows which can keep track of at http://bandsintown.com/TheFinalClauseofTacitus </p>

We have met some awesome bands and, even better, we have met some awesome fans too, even on the nights we dressed as Power Rangers for Halloween! An experience that will have burned into your eyes for a long time to come I'm sure. Skin tight IS NOT a descriptive term to be taken lightly! :P<br><br><strong>Peace in Chaos - Coming Early 2017</strong><br><br>This month we have been getting ready to enter the studio and lay down what we hope will be the first of many sets of recordings. Yes that's right, THIS WEEKEND we <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/200286/155aa77eff4683c07f423986dbf3a0e8b597fa12/small/14494691-989051387889539-1113285291980279410-n.jpg?1476447129" class="size_s justify_right border_" />are venturing into territory not previously trodden by TFCoT, the strange and exotic land of sound engineers and headphones known more commonly as, 'The Recording Studio'<br><br>We are excited to get going, and even though we actually have 2 gigs during the recording schedule (we can't let you rest for too long :P) we are going to pour our heart and soul into getting a mini album together that we can be proud of, and hopefully that you will want to add to your music collections.

We have tickets to hand for 4th December, 16th December and 23rd December, so be sure to let us know if you are coming so we can get a ticket out to you before the date!<br><br>We are also working our butts off on some new merch! It will be possible to pick up some extra Xmas gifts for all those secret TFCoT fans out there during Decembers gigs.
