Draven's Official Blog

Tuesday, 28 July 2009

Well it's been a few weeks since I blogged here and we have had a busy few days looking into budgets and finances and all the stuff which is really to boring to blog about! Hence why no blogs!

But apart from that and some exploding amps and melting computers, we are currently in negotiations for overseas licensing and touring which will probably mean additional tracks being added here and there as special extras. More on this soon but we have been gearing to put down some new track ideas.

More news concerning support tours, national and international touring and any new recordings will be on it's way as soon as anything is confirmed.

We will also be looking into finally cutting together the footage of the making of EDEN into a "behind the scenes" rockumentary for possible release. So it's going to be a busy couple of weeks.

Enjoy the sun!

ello Guildford!

Well Guilfest 09 is over for us! It was great fun and the show went extremely well.

Although it started in true rock n roll fashion with Franks amp blowing up before he had played a single note!

We made do with a back up amp (that sounded more Eric Clapton than Franky Draven!) but we got the job done and thank you for being such a great crowd, and there were hundreds of you!

Our friends Flame To Fire also did an amazing job and we enjoyed there show greatly. There were some fantastic bands that we got to watch and chill with this year. But For me and I think the rest of the guys, Joe Bonamassa topped it all off in legendary fashion.

I must say thanks to his band Bogie Bowles (drums), Carmine Rojas (bass), Rick Melick (keys) for being really fun to hang with back stage. An awesome band who delivered an astonishing performance for the wonderful Joe Bonamassa.

More meetings about Japan and Europian tours this week with more news coming soon.

Im off to the shower.
