And the ep tracks should be creeping up online over the next few weeks, so give them a listen, and tell us what you think.laters,Jim

An Exciting Weekend

Tue, 09 Oct 2007 12:26:52 -0700

Hello all. After all period of relative inaction this is going to be a busy weekend for the band. On Sunday evening we are playing at the Lock, Dock and Barrel all-dayer in Leamington and then on Monday we will be playing the Warwick Student's Arts Festival on Warwick Uni piazza. I have to say that I'm very much looking forward to both gigs, especially WSAF.

It is probably also true to say that we have become a lot more fussy about how everything is sounding than we originally intended. Hopefully, though, all the re-records and re-mixes will ...

Bassist

Tue, 09 Oct 2007 12:26:52 -0700

Finally, after six months, we've completed the Motorcade line-up with Tim Davis stepping in on bass. Thanks a lot to both Dave and Jules who have filled in on bass when needed, but obviously it is great to have a permanent bassist at last. The plan is now to get properly going with some gigs and see where it takes us. Look out for info on those in the near future.
