The singer? Aye, he does a bit. I could be wrong but I think that Christ De Berg is the singer... Where was he when the Lookalikes thread was knocking about?

Anyhoo, I went on the Myspace page but my connection is being shit and wont load the music playing dohickle so I'll have to give it a listen next time I'm on.



My band's got a pretty big gig tomorrow night supporting John Otway.

We got a pretty good mention in the Chronical this week too; "Suitably loud proud and punky".

Greetings humans.

We finally got an "Original" song. Still a work in progress like, but we got a video of us performing it live an' that. Say if you like it or whatever.

[Boy In The Bin]

Really good. Nice construction for a three minute song, it's good that you packed so much into such a small amount of time. Tight drumming too, especially for something so demanding pacewise, you didn't let it slip. I would like to see you utilise the fact you have two guitars though, countermelodies and the such. The constant da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na is a bit grating after a while. Like the little ascending phrase in the main riff. Lyrics I'm not crazy about, but it's not really my style of track anyway. So, for a first song you've done yourselves proud, and I imagine it'll fit in with the rest of your set nicely.

In BITB music news, the band I played with at Uni is reforming with a slightly different set up, and that promises to be really great. I finally get to live out my dream of being a techno nerd with synths and laptops and stuff. And the songs are brill too. Might post some stuff when we have it.

We don't have two guitars - Just one guitarist and one bassist, innit.

Cheers for the comments though, muchos appreciated and taken on board. :D

[Boy In The Bin]

I meant the bass as a guitar. Not having them playing similar things and that.

[ike]

Alright. We have now recorded two songs, properly like, in a studio an' everything. None of this tinny-sounding ripped audio from poorly filmed live footage on a digital camera malarkey.

Both songs uploaded on:

Thanks for listening.

[Martin]

Good stuff!

[Nill Demand]

Really impressive ike! Very professional sounding. Seems like only yesterday that you bought your drum kit. Nice cowbell in there too :D

[ike]

Yeah, we always needed more cowbell.
