Hey everyone out there!

Fresh off of our first show in a little over 3 months, we wanted to share a live footage of a new song from our comeback show. The song is called "The Atlantic" and tells the tale of the 400 year long Transatlantic Slave Trade, also referred to as the "Mafaa" (meaning "holocaust" in Swahili). The video is posted below, and is a taste of one of the many new songs we'll be banging out as the months unfold. We hope you enjoy.

Peace

The New Year has brought many changes. The nation has finally inaugurated its first black president, something many of us never thought we’d bear witness too. 2009 has also brought caused a change amongst us; the Viva Mayday that once was no longer is. We’ve recorded a new 5 song EP as well as a bonus acoustic song, and are proud and very excited to share our new sound with you all. We are also excited to announce that we have lined up, and will continue to line up, more shows as the months unfold. For the next couple of weeks there will be free streaming of the EP on our Myspace and Facebook pages, as well as our official website and eventually they will be available for free download. We hope you enjoy!

Peace
