2012

By A. Thomas January After a handful of jams we welcomed Jim ‘Explosion’ Peacock into the fold after a bit of a reunion jam on wed night (11th). Barn had literally flown in from England late that morning and after a couple of hours sleep came and played in The Vault. (He still rocked it even though he was absolutely knackered). Fun times ahead....welcome Jim.

2011

By A. Thomas January After a very nice couple of weeks off with the family in NZ we returned on the 10th just in time for Toowoomba to get hammered by an ‘inland tsunami’, followed by widespread devastation in the Lockyer Valley and the flooding of Brisbane. The road between our studio and Barn’s house hadn’t been cut so he came over on Friday (14th) to get down some amazing bass on Intro III (which is actually for the 3rd album but recorded now to have a similar vibe to Interlude II on the second album) whilst drinking 100 proof southern...

2010

By A .Thomas January Over the past few months whilst jamming on the acoustics we’ve covered quite a bit of territory including revisiting a lot of the current rock numbers and also writing a few new tunes. To conclude our little acoustic foray we thought it would be a nice idea to record our first DVD capturing a handful of new acoustic numbers. So on Australia Day (26th Jan) we hired a few lights for the Vault and asked our mate Tony to come in and film for us. It was a great day and we ended up recording and filming 5 songs. February...

2009

Written by A. Thomas January Mixing goes on in ernest with the guys all listening to their CDs and giving notes on their thoughts (well, Pete gives actual notes and the other 2 tell me what they remember :) A meeting with Media Hammer locks in an album release date of 25 April and all the PR/Marketing and Tour dates have been determined around that date. Tour will spread over 4 weekends with a 2 week road trip in the middle to Melbourne and back.   Have started contacting venues to lock in dates. Work is quiet at the moment so it h...

2008

Written by A.Thomas January 2008                 Pete arrives back on the 9th and comes over a couple of days later to lay down a bit of backing vocal for Hold but mainly listens to what we’ve been up to whilst he’s been away.                                       Continue getting final guit...

2007

Written by A.Thomas January 2007                 Year starts with the band supporting The Bloodpoets at Rics Café in the Valley on 3rd Jan. We met with Tiff Dimmack from 4ZZZ whilst sitting around the Galaga game. Had a great gig sound wise – not a huge amount of people but the ones who were there seemed to dig it! We rocked it and the bloodpoets did an acoustic set. They asked us to play the Valley Mall Rotunda the following Saturday (6th) at 7pm. Pete couldn’t ma...
