Have a break, have a kit-kat...

so for the past few weeks we have been dealing with the loss of a guitarist. it turns out that we miss his input more than we thought we would, and despite trying out a replacement, things feel empty and the band feels loose...

morale last night was at a low, we are back where dave and i started a year or more ago. after a 3rd unproductive practice, we have decided to step back from this band for a couple of months.

with having to get a new guitarist up to speed, by the time we are there and have written new songs, del will be lording it up in thailand for a couple of months so we have decided for now, that the band is on a hiatus.

we do plan to come back when del has finished his trip to thailand and won the heart of a thai bride, but for now, other projects will take place.

check back here for updates on what myself and the band get up to

The new guy...

so this week was our first without rich, it was kind of strange not having him there, as he had become a key member in the band in both music and band dynamic.

we did however have a replacement guitarist join us. when we knew richard was leaving, i called in a favour from a friend i have known years, a very talented metal guitarist.

we learned the songs really fast, and added his own spin on them, which gave them a bit more energy and made us play harder and with a heavier edge.

once he left, we played through the set prior to our festival slots coming up. we are planning to do these gigs and write a new set before embarking on a new stage of our existance.

its not that our songs are bad or that we are bored with them, but out of the 7 songs we have in our arsenal, only 2 were written as this band, the others written by myself and dave in various other versions of this band. we are hoping that a new guitarist and new songs will help us gel as a band and push us forward.
