I thought I'd
write something for the site from a band point of view. I don't know what
sort of stuff ( if any ) you might be interested in so it's going to be
a bit hit and miss at first. If there's anything you'd like to know, say,
or suggest, drop us a line or two and we'll try to help out.
Firstly, we'd
like to thank Brock for the effort he's put into designing, implementing
and maintaining the site. Anyone who's interested ( Bands, businesses
etc ) can contact him either through this site or his own address which
is tucked away somewhere on this site.
Whilst I'm doing
the thanks bit here's one for Matt, who used to arrange our gigs but has
had to stop due to other commitments, and Gabs ( Raven Promotions ) for
taking on the job as his replacement. Any inquiries along these lines
should be directed to her ( the contact address/number should be somewhere
on the site ). And a final thanks to Luke ( Downtrodden, who have
sadly now split up ) for all his help and support of which there's been
too much to mention.
Music wise,
we've done a couple of gigs, one down in Margate at the Ship with Downtrodden,
which was their last gig, and one in London at the Hope & Anchor (
put on by John of Neon Promotions ). There should be a couple of reviews
either now or soon on the site.
We've also signed
the paperwork for the inclusion of one track on a compilation album being
arranged for release in the near future by John of Neon Promotions. More
details, when available. Band listing, cost etc should be on the news
page soon. Sorry if I'm a bit vague with the details as I float along
in blissful ignorance, leaving the details in Gabi's competent hands.
Back on the
gigging front, C. seems to end up having to play on other bands drum kits
with monotonous regularity, the last gig being no exception. Due to time
and available space only one kit was allowed at the venue, this being
Birmingham band The Harpies kit. Apart from being more compact than he's
used to, it was well and truly crammed into a corner on the stage, the
end result was that he ended up straining his shoulder during the second
song in the set, and at the end of the night had to drive a loaded van
on a ninety mile journey.
On the music
front we're toying with doing another CD in the ( nearish ) future. We've
got enough tracks for another but the overall opinion of the band is to
write some more songs first so that we can spend more time on arguing
about which tracks to include. That's about it for now, but like I said
earlier, write in and let us know what you want or what you think and
cheers to all of you who have written in so far.
PB.
