I split on your grave

Ding Dong Dead/ Moby-Dick Split is finally here. Out on my own 'Power Negi Records' it contains 10 tracks in total, 5 each of course. In lovingly made card cases, hand numbered and limited to 100 copies. It is available to the world here at the low low price of £4. This is little more than you'd expect to pay for a bottle of Corona, so instead of wasting your money on that, buy this instead. We would like to thank everyone invovled especially our good friends Ding Dong Dead.

Here's what the final product looks like

Stay Negative

Feb 7th/8th weekend, Leeds and Wakefield was amazing. Thanks to the people that put us on, bands we played with: Magpyes, Esclavage, and that other super fast band. Thanks Matt for letting us stay in your flat, Lewis, Lewis Agro, and Negi Rob.
To cut a long story about a good weekend:
Big savings, double big savings, triple big savings, Anton Rough, Leeds, deathcrush, pizza. special brew, sleeping on ironing boards, chocolate stealing, one way systems, mosh and vans store...

Refreshment is sweet

First of all, sat' nav's are genius, no stressing and trying to read maps like before, all in all, a good investment.
Doncaster, Doncaster, Doncaster, we play faster... than any band you've seen at the vintage rock bar in over a year, surely. I don't think many people at the show knew how to have fun either. Bit of a let down that the mighty Errander didn't turn up, we were looking forward to them.

Fent man decided to snap a string after one song, no one had a guitar to lend, and it would take a while to re-string due to tuning locks etc. Thanks to Veils and Elias Last Day for looking for strings and tryina help us out, nice guys them lot. The solution unfortunatly was Max sitting out and Rory playing, not cool but still, Max 'brought the mosh' along with our good friend and Doncaster boy, Lewis. We ripped it up, played anton rough, busted out, broke mic's, instruments and got sore...

Not much more to say other than, this show totally refreshed the dick, we can't wait for our little tour in Europe with Call Me Betty. Expect tour T's, a split, and the ultimate compilation (aimed at promoting mainly UK bands) out on Power Negi, including Crocus, Trencher, Bastions, Manuscripts, Holy State and Silent Front; there's 22 bands confirmed so far. Call me a name dropper, I don't care.

Any upcoming shows and tiny bits of news can probably be found on our myspace

Progession

After messing around and not doing much the split with ding dong dead is almost here. I used the time I set aside to do work and pass exams, wise I know. We're going into the studio to do our vocal re-recordings and I need to get the disc face printed and that's it, it's ready!

Here's what the final thing should look like:



And will be available here. There should be many more releases coming out on power negi in the near future. I'll keep you posted.

Once this is sorted we'll be recording some more songs, there's about 7 we want to get done I think. They'll probably be appearing on some sort of release in the future.

Oh dear, oh dear...

Sugarmill, Stoke, Dec 28th 2008... what can I say? Maxes first show with us and it seemed to start so well, but just got worse and worse until the drum monitor cut out and Shane couldn't hear a thing. Busting out our Anton Rough cover saved our hides, lets face it, most of the saving was done by Soggy from TRC. I don't know how I ended up falling off the stage and lossing my shoe and hat...

The other bands were good, The River Card delivering the goods as always, go buy their new album.

Few pictures here.

2008 is ending...

Little update for anyone who's interested; we have a split coming soon on my very own power negi records featuring 5 tracks from us and 5 tracks from Ding Dong Dead. It will be released in late January, and the 1st issue is limited to 100 copies.

Secondly we'll have T-shirts soon, we have the design by Steve (Chaos vs Cosmos), however there my be a few tweaks done to it before it goes off to be printed. Expect them next year too.

Finally, we're all enjoying ourselves, we're all up for 2009 and we're going to be bringing you lots of new music for your little ears. Check out the power negi myspace for more releases too.

Magpyes are real villians

With Rory now on vocals too we can really develop, two new tracks written with him in his new role. The first of which we have tight, and the second 'Magpyes are real villians' in the final Stages.

Here's the first:
