good times/songwriting

The good thing about this band is the way things work, we all have a great friendship, its a great 3 piece band who all look out for one another, when it comes to songwriing what used to be a one man slog is now a 3 way effort the cool thing about craig is that he has a great knack of giving the songs a solid structure, he listens for the hooks works us, laura has a great knack at writing key riffs usually these are the hooks that craig listens for, then il supply some guitar n lyrics etc, we come up with tunes all the time its a fun band to be in and a great buzz when we create a new tune i think we all would love to record every song we have written and hopefully we can.

rock n roll is dirty but it keeps me clean

So we rocked out at Base Stuidios in Feb, and then whammy gig after gig after gig just came in so far we are booked till October bar a few gaps, funnily enough we played Crewe on March 8th 2013 at the Sydney arms a strange place that i dont think have ever had a real band on ever :) we did 2 hours of sweaty exuberant rock n roll, solos behind the head punk rock bass and stadium drums with some smooth vocals, could they get it ? who knows a few did but a great learning curve was choose venues wiseley and know where your sound works, still there were a few who clapped, sung or just eyed up our bass player and enough totty for us as they had booked an 18th birthday party at the same time, its back to our home town of stafford next where we play a charity gig for some bikers i somehow think these guys will rock, also we had a band photo shoot on 2nd March some pics will come soon it was a great day for all you will see our naked sunday catalogue ..... tbc
