After our long winter of discontent and few gigs, we're back out there with a vengeance, with another CD in the bag and a fresh taste for the land of the leather trousers and OTT introductions!
Our time in the studio over Feb/March was well spent with a new 7 track CD produced at Craigmount Studios care of our now almost fifth member, our pet engineer, Colin and Shug, our progressive pal and studio owner. The tunes are up on our Myspace if you fancy a listen (just follow the link in the links section on this site). Quite addictive this studio lark. I feel like a seasoned old pro, but you can never fiind one when you need one....
So, to more recent happenings and our first live outing of the year, a new venue for us in the Waverly Hotel, in deepest Callander. as we arrived, the early crowd were still eating their steak pie, but in the setup period, the crowd changed from Teatime to Playtime and by the time we hit the stage on the stroke of nine, the joint was jumpin' and packed to the door.
We started as we meant to continue and hit them with our usual first set barrage. Despite the fairly long winter lay off, we were on form from the first note and it was like we had never been away. it was like putting on a really comfortable pair of old shoes that you had not seen for a while and just instantly knowing that they were right!
A short break later (and the discovery that a couple of groups in the audience had seen our name, checked us out on line, listened to the uploaded tunes and STILL come to see us!) and into the second set and all of a sudden we had a crowd of dancers infront of us, digging everything we played. This continued to the witching hour when we signed off in our traditional manner- Heroes with ridiculous intros!
A great night- roll on next weekend and our first ever double header!
Keep on rockin'
