As I've already ranted, we had a really great show on Saturday at AQUANET at South of the Border. It was fantastic night of gin fueled fun.
First surprise of the night, Colin unveiled THE SOHO COBRAS printed bass drum skin; Very fucking sexy.
While we were there we had a few cool live shots taken by Gareth Thomas, so a big thank you to him.
We also had a few promo shots done by Hannah Thomas, so again a big thank you to her for making us look so rock n roll, if not quite as good as she made Hazel look.
There are a few examples of each here for your viewing pleasure:
PROMO SHOTS FIRST...
NOW SOME LIVE SHOTS.
...and finally a big thank you to Shady Dave of Shred-reviews.co.uk for featuring our track "BOYZ NIGHT OUT" and it's sweep-tastic solo in his LATEST UPDATE.
We just had a gig at THE WHITE SWAN in Aylesbury. It was an unusual show. We had booked it before Hazel joined the band and it turned out that she was having to jet off, well car and ferry off to Belgium because of work on the day of the gig.
It was only a small pub gig so rather than cancel, I stepped in to sing for one show. I was a bit unsure about it, but I thought fuck it, give it a go. I had been singing at rehearsals while we were looking for a singer, so I knew I could "sing" but doing it live while playing the guitar was another thing!
In the end it was OK I guess, I really had fun doing it and it was in tune, but not a great vocal performance. I guess my rhythm playing suffered quite a bit. I think I rely on seeing the guitar neck a bit too much and looking at the video, I can see that I need to work on making sure that I my mouth is pointing at the mic when I shout in it! An interesting learning experience, but I'll be very glad to have hazel back where she belongs for the next one.
It was also my second gig with my JET CITY AMPLIFICATIONJCA20H and I used my LAG ROXANE RF1000 for the first time since I played it at the gig where PISTOL KIXX broke up live on stage! Here's a quick collection of excerpts from solos so you can here the JCA20H live on a guitar with P-90's
In other news, Dickie got "I *HEART* Colin Vipurs" tattooed on his arse for a bet... well he says it was a bet, but there's no smoke without fire if you ask me...
Who would have thought Dickie had a thing for drummers.
This is a lesson to anyone who get's drunk around tattoo equipment!
