4 weeks at No.1, gig, competition, cover versions and more!

Thanks to everyone for their continued support with "Leave Everything" on tourdates.co.uk - we're spending a fourth week at the top of the UK Unsigned Chart. This is more than we ever expected to happen and a sign that, hopefully, our music is reaching more people than ever before.

This Wednesday we're headlining Catch in Shoreditch with support from Monster Fight, Ethical Debating Society and Milk. On stage around 10pm and entry is only £3. Contact us if you need any more info. The video's ready, the intro music is prepped and we're planning for a very exciting show!

This week we're also competing in the Exposure Music Awards and we need your votes to help take us to the live event in October. The voting button's on our Tourdates profile (under the influences icons on the left halfway down) and you can vote once a day every day for the next week. It would mean a lot to us if you took the time to click a few times in the next seven days so drop in to www.tourdates.co.uk/hotbeds and lend us your clicks!

Phew, what a lot to get through. The LAST thing we have to say is that we've uploaded our cover of Plastic Passions' "Pass Over" to our Myspace (myspace.com/hotbeds) and we'd love to hear what you think of it. The track is for Filthy Little Angels' compilation release out in December featuring FLA acts covering each other's songs. If you want to hear the original take a trip to myspace.com/plasticpassionuk.

Ah, and lastly, and I promise this is lastly, if you're involved with gig nights, webzines, podcasts or any other form of independent media or alike please get in touch for guestlists, CDs, MP3s, interviews or whatever. We really want Hot Beds to keep growing and with your help maybe we just can! New photos from our recent shoot in Clapton can be found in our Myspace gallery.

Hot Love, Andy & Lena
