Hey guys,

thought we'd post a blog to keep you updated on how we're getting on in the 'Emergenza' world battle of the bands.

We passed through the quarter-finals held at 'The Purple Turtle' last week...The way it works in the first few rounds up until the finals, is that the top three bands are voted in by the audience. Although we got a great crowd reaction, we didn't make the top three last week, but made it through on the wild card. This is where each band playing votes for their favourite band of the night. We were very grateful to receive the wild card vote which we were told we won by far.

We received a nice review by the 'Rock Maestro' which is posted on the 'Emergenza' website.. http://www.emergenza.net/document/news/news.asp?id=2775 .....

Here it is :

'Ok, I said rock but did you know that London has some of the finest acoustic pop bands in the world? Here's proof: DAVE JACOBS AND THE PRIDIGAL SONS started beautifully by displaying a talent for songwriting. Gorgeous tunes with great lyrics. The drummer, an Italian import, made everything look so effortless. Truly amazing. Probably the best drummer I have seen in this competition.'

So, we'll be heading to 'Dingwalls' on Tuesday 29th, where they'll be choosing two bands from eight, ... so keep your fingers crossed for us!
