Stripped down for fun!

This week will be a fun one. We are heading into the studio with our beautiful friend Katie Sharma as we start rehearsals for another bunch of accoustic shows over the summer. news of these in the gig section shortly. Katie will once again be adding her wonderful piano playing to our stripped down set for several festival and charity show appearances.

It's always awesome to hear your music arranged in completely different ways. The possibilities are endless.

We are all very excited by the mailing list and forum competitions. The fan meets and jams will be great fun.

Good luck and look foward to hanging soon.

Just back from a session at the gym and straight into the office for some promotional projects.

We have been approached for some film soundtrack work. We are no strangers to this field as we have done many projects like this in the past and it is always a lot of fun. Nothing is confirmed as yet but as soon as it is I will let you all know what to look out for.

Nothing "Hollywood" just yet, but good solid British film projects. Let's see how it pans out.

Keep your eyes wide shut!

RADIO DRA VEN continued!

Hey Tribe.

The Manchester Rock Radio show we did will be aired later tonight (check Twitter for details) and I will confirm the BBC show asap. It was a great trip up north and we wish to thank Everyone involved for making it great fun.

I found out that a friend of mine does not have a brain tumour as originally thought, which is great news, but does infact have Epilepsy! Prayers of thanks and hope go out to them an their family.

It just makes you think, there is more to life than rock n roll, but rock n roll should be the soundtrack to all of it. Thats its place and a very important one.

Don't forget to live peeps.

Until next time

Be groovy.

RADIO DRA VEN (clap clap!)

Good morning tribe.

A busy day today.

106.1 Rock Radio Manchester at 4pm today and BBC WM 95.6fm/DAB at 7pm although the later is a pre recording. Not sure when this show will actually air but I will let you guys know as soon as possible. You can probably do the on line thingy at www.rockradiomanchester.co.uk/ www.bbc.co.uk/birmingham/local_radio.

Hopefully will be able to see some sights although I doubt it. More likely to see the inside of the car for a very long time. Better take some driving tunes!

Any body see the news. Politics aye! Who'd have guessed? Naughty buggers.

Good afternoon tribesters!

Well im just popping in to say that we have been honoured by being asked to open this years Guilfest ahead of Joe Bonamassa, Motorhead and the living legend that is Brian Wilson.

We may also be doing an accoustic set at the festival in another slot but that is still to be confirmed. Our good friends Flame To Fire will be on at the festival also so lots of fun will be had im sure.

This week is a busy one for radio interviews, especially Thursday when we have Rock Radio Manchester at 4pm and BBC West Midlands at 7pm. so lots of travelling to do. I havn't been sleeping well this week so far. No reason really. Guess im just wired or something.

That's all for now.

Be safe.

THANX

Good day tribe.

Well, the launch show was an amazing success and the atmoshere was totally electric. EDEN was released on Monday and had sold out before the end of the working day so thank you so much for your love and support.

We will take it as a sign that we have done something right!

After the show, I was speaking to a girl who told me that she didn't know how to express herself, but that we had made her "feel!" Before we had gone on stage my prayers were that if we could just make someone feel good or help out in any way with our contribution of music, then job done.

So that was a wonderful thing to hear and thank you to that girl for making me "feel!"

We are currently preparing for several radio interviews and im wading through questions as I right this. Somebody told me today that we are in the local press again. Thats always a nice surprise to wake up to. As long as they say good things I guess. Once again thank you for your love. We will always need it. It will always be returned. We are one.

Thats it for now.

Remembe to "feel!"
