This was the album we were working on. We were going to totally redo the vocals and add some extra bits but things don't always work out. As it stands it's unfinished. But it sounds pretty good none the less.

The album is called Foxholes.
It was recorded/mixed by Pete Stanley (Allan helped with engineering on the drums)
Performed by Allan Oakes, Adam Harper, Dave Halama & Pete Stanley
Extra vox on Soldier Bear by Stef Hallama.
Lyrics on Soldier Bear By Jon Behrendt.

I can only thank everyone who got behind us, it's pretty gutting to listen to it as it's quite good. I'm proud of what we did. We learned alot and made some cool tunes.

Thanks again for your support. Me and Dave will be ruining the 'hits' acoustically on Halloween, so we will see you then for one last time. :)

As of today we have decided to call the band Porpoise a day. We've been together in various forms for the last three years. It's been pretty fun to be honest. In fact a blast. Right from the early days of Jon and Gaz, me and Dave playing at Jam Jar. Jon kept getting his finger stuck in the hole of the green mic stand, yeah clever dude haha. ;)

Then up to modern day Poise with Allan and Harper, it's been ace. Some great performances and times. Some times i won't forget anyway! Dave sliding across his back playing a solo at the Mitre. Amazing scenes as Rich babel would say.

Anyway, sorry if anyones upset we are breaking up. We didn't mean to hurt you! ;)
I'm pretty sure we'll all appear in various new bands at some point. There's no bad feelings. Things just get to a point where they can't really go any further. And rather than get beat up or upset about it, we are walking away.

As for the mini album, this will be available to download posthumously this week, either later or tomorrow with the vocal takes we got down. I'll just do some final touches to make it sound the best it can and you can remember us that way.

We will be playing Halloween as an acoustic duo as our last bow out anyway. Thanks everyone who's helped us/been in Porpoise like Gaz, Jon, Harp, Allan, Tim, Stef, Bryan, Jonty and everyone who's played gigs with us and sang along. That's what kept us going.

Cheers!

Yes we are currently recording a 7 track mini album. Sessions are going well. Drums and bass done, now mixing a bit.

We are doing this all ourselves this time round. Pretty excited as its shaping up well. Some incredible takes. The guitars have to match.

We are playing KFFM Live night on Monday 31st Aug. Please come see us play. See the yellow profile poster for details.


Pete

Thanks everyone who came down to watch us last night. It was probably one of the best gigs we have ever done and made us really excited about our next step which is recording.

Thanks again to everyone who watched/ shouted / sang along, the other bands Gruber and Halliwell. Great night all round. Cheers Tim also and those who stole my beer.

Yes this group has been going a fair while and we did have 250 members until i stupidly said "hey look we have 250 members!" and four weeners left haha. Ah well.

Join now and be our friends and fans. I'm sure we'll throw some exclusives your way soon!

This is our first gig at Porpoise as a new band. Loads of changes and we have an amazing new drummer Allan. Please come down and see us play. It's going to be friggin great.

Porpoise can proudly unveil Allan Oakes (also of Science Vs Romance fame) as our new drummer. We have known Allan for many years. I personally remember him for his amazing Yoda bag he used to have when we were students but you may remember him from his kick ass drumming, handsome good looks and endless energy.
Allan & Harper play together in a such a way, you wonder if they read each others minds.
This excites me.


It also excites Dave muchos.
After all the changes and unsettlement. We will lay it to rest and get on with being a band again. See you at the next gig! :)


PEET

With muchos regret, we have to announce the departure of our drummer Gaz. He's drummed with us since the beginning, 2 and a half years.
He played on everything we have recorded to date. He is a top bloke and we wish him well with any new projects in the future. 

We had some fucking A times.
He will be missed!


We are looking forward now to Porpoise V.3
Watch this space.
