Hello one and all.

I just want to give you all a quick brief on the gig went on the 21 November 2007 at Durbanville Kunskafee.

First of all I want to thank everyone that could make it. I know some of you are still busy with exams or made other plans. But thanks to those who was there and also sorry for starting late, but any band that is completely punctual is not a cool band...

So the show started at 21:45, due to some difficulties with instruments and a traffic lights. We played a total of 7 songs. 4 Songs with electric, bass and drums and 3 songs with 2 acoustic guitars. We were also lacking one member but due to some pre-plans that was made by him he couldn't make it.

The sound was great and we would like to thank Phillip Burger, the sound engineer for doing a great job. Thanks also to Durbanville Kunskafee for giving us the change to play at their venue...

Keep checking out the site for gig updates and all the other little things that bands do. Pictures of the gig will also be added, just got wait for Peter to put them on.

And as far as the recordings are going we have a new song, "The Truth", that has been recorded and is now in the process of being mixed and mastered. And "Blind" is still being worked on.

We'll keep you posted...till next time.

 

 

Blind Version 2.0 is coming soon. Just waiting for the mixing and mastering.

Studio time next weekend. Studio blog will be updated as we go into studio.

Stéfan Ferreira has joined the band as our new drummer.

Keep well

Peter

 

Next weekend we will be going into studio.

Will keep you posted.

Peace.
