Sorry for another late update (rest of the band: “what happened to the promises of a weekly blog?”) but I’m giving the normal excuse... we’ve been really busy lately.
Here’s a quick rundown of what we’ve been up to...
Got a tonne of new songs written or in the works... so many in fact that we’re currently working on a demo recording to give us an idea what we’d like to go into the studio with next time round.
We’ll see how this comes out and decide whether to stick a few up here if the quality is up to scratch. This will be very soon, maybe by the end of the month!
We’ve also been doing lots of floor spots at folk clubs around Kent and now have a couple booked in London too. We’ve been getting a good reception so far and it’s nice to do something which, for us, is a bit different. If anyone would like us to come and play at their club, give us a shout – there is an email form direct to Los Salvadores HQ (Marf’s house) at the bottom of our myspace page if you don’t have an account.
Next summer could be pretty full-on as we are talking to quite a few festivals about possible slots, including return visits to some of our favourites. More news as things are confirmed over the next few months. Well exciting!
Also exciting are more possible additions to our line-up in the coming weeks. Can’t say too much yet, but watch this space.
The nice picture at the top of our myspace page has become one sixth more irrelevant. We’re sorry to say our drummer, Matt, has left.
We’re going to miss him loads because he is the nicest grindcore-loving, nymphomaniac, thong-obsessed drummer we have ever met.
Matt has a lot going on at the moment and after the Babar Luck gig earlier this week, he had a long chat with us and decided the gig schedule was too much to cope with on top of everything else.
He brought loads to the band and revitalised the sound with his unique style. He is a totally solid drummer and nailed all the weird rhythms and time signatures we came up which has helped our sound develop loads over the last few months.
The next recording, which might be available before the end of the year, would have been far more difficult if we hadn’t had his talent to draw on.
So it’s goodbye to Matt and his hairy arse, his obsession with videoing everything, his tendency to wear girls’ perfume and his unhealthy interest in Charlotte Hatherley.
We wish him and his uncontrollable gag reflex the best of luck in whatever he does/gags at next.
I said we had some sad news, and this is it. We are all pretty upset – Mafro has been in it from the beginning and was a defining part of the band – but equally we all understand his reasons and support his decision.
Mafro's last gig with the band will be at the Carpenter's Arms in Canterbury on Saturday, October 10. If you have ever had anything to do with Fro or the band, it would be great if you could come along and give him the best send off possible.
So we are looking for a new musician… not necessarily a new mandolin player… we have always been a band that’s embraced change, so if you think your particular talent would fit our sound, give us a shout.
Finally, this is the message that Fro sent the band, so he can tell it in his own words:
Hi all.
As you all know I’ve decided to hang up my mandolin. Not for good, just with Los Salvadores. It’s not been an easy decision, and if I’m honest, not one I really wanted to make. Telling everyone that it was time for me to leave was one of the hardest things I have ever done.
I’m not leaving because I no longer enjoy it, or am unhappy with any aspect of the band, that’s about as far from the reason as could be possible. The band is at the best it has ever been, is the most fun it has ever been and holds five other people that I feel truly honoured to be able to call my friends, hence why leaving is so difficult. I do however feel that I am leaving on a high. This summer has been the best time of my life. To have shared so many festival stages with you, singing and rocking out in the sunshine and the rain, seeing hordes of people crowd into a tent, or huddle around the stage in the pouring rain. Having people singing along, shouting for songs, buying us drinks, getting random hugs from strangers that think we are awesome, all of this has left me with memories that shall never leave me.
The reason I have decided to leave is so that I can pursue other interests that at the moment I just don’t have the time for. I feel it’s just time to move on. I think I have picked as convenient moment to do so as possible. I know that the photo on the myspace page will be wrong, but that’s much easier fixed that having just recorded the new CD (Which again if I am honest, I am gutted about not doing as I feel that they are 3 of the strongest songs we have ever written, and the best mandolin lines that I have ever written).
I still love it as much as ever, and still love you guys more than ever, I would like my last show to be a local one, just so I can say goodbye to the people that have shown us so much support over the years. I shall still support you 100% when I am gone, and will help out with anything that I can.
I am going to miss you guys so much, and I wish you all the very best in pushing the band onwards and upwards.
We’ve just had one of the best weekends gigging ever. We played three really great shows, met some awesome people, partied hard, and suffered the consequences.
But we’ve also got some sad news, which we’ll announce later this week, that will change the course of the band. We’ll keep you posted.
We’d all like to say a massive thanks to Speccy and Molly for not only putting us up after the Pirate Punx gig in Bath, but for giving us free booze and throwing a quality after party at their house.
It was a great night all round which saw drummer Matt pole dancing with a mop (or was it Fro?) and all of us finally getting to bed about 6am.
Needless to say, we all felt a bit delicate on Saturday and certain people, who shall remain nameless, took part in some impromptu roadside weed control. Stinging nettles meet stomach acid, there can be only one winner. Nice.
The gig itself was hot, sweaty and intense and the crowd really went for it, which we are really grateful for. It’s so good to play a gig like that when you’ve been sitting in a van for five hours listening to bassist Jim scream his head off at cows, lorries and inanimate objects he is particularly drawn to.
We played our new song Bartholomew’s Day for the first time and it went down really well. We’ve been looking forward to playing it live for ages, as it took ages to learn and write bits for but we think it was well worth the effort.
Slightly-older-but-still-new-song Smuggler’s Leap also went down a treat.
Anyway, once we’d finished being ill we drove to Leeds where we met Andy, another great promoter, who was really good to us and put us up at his house and listened to us talk utter mince until 3am.
The Cardigan Arms, where we played, is one of those pubs where you get the impression the punters eat the glasses in lieu of ready salted, but the venue above was cool with a good PA and great soundman called Tom.
The gig was good fun, not sure people knew what to expect to begin with but by the end it was all going really well and we got some great feedback.
The night almost turned ugly however when a riot kicked off outside the pub while Marf, Fro and Matt were in the van.
They sensibly stayed (cowered) in the van while the locals chased each other down the street with metal pipes... eventually it quietened down a bit and we loaded the gear in... only for it to kick off again. We kept the engine running while we crammed Andy and his girlfriend Diana in the van and made a quick (relatively) getaway to York.
We stayed at Andy’s flat and sat up drinking and chatting for a bit, then went on a little tour of the city on Sunday. York is a great place that I know pretty well (went to uni there for four years) and it was good to see it again and wander about in the sun.
Matt and I also had awesome hog roast and Andy played with a Microkorg in Banks music shop. We all agreed we wanted a Microkorg but couldn’t afford one so we left.
Mafro drove us to Manchester for the next gig, and after unloading at the Retro Bar we went for a Chinese. We went to one of those dodgy all you can eat buffet places, laughably called No 1 Chinese Buffet or something like that.
Just put it this way, I’d have hated to try the second best in town. Mafro had some soup that tasted of wee, and everyone started feeling decidedly dodgy after consuming just a plate of glutinous mess masquerading as food.
Fortunately our constitutions held out and the gig was amazing, as always at the Retro Bar. We sweated it out most of the monosodium glutamate and by the end of the set people were dancing away and we want to say a massive thanks to TNS Records for organising the show.
Can’t wait to get back to the Retro Bar for our next Ska Bar gig, coming up in November!
Finally, for all our friends in Kent, if you can possibly make it, come to our gigs in Canterbury or Maidstone this weekend, it would be great to see you!
Hello, sorry it’s been a bit quiet. We’ve been taking a little break this September following the summer which was pretty intense, but we’ve got loads more stuff planned for the next few months and can’t wait to get gigging again.
This is good because our first weekend back involves three successive gigs - Bath, Leeds and Manchester. Should be a great weekend, lots of driving, but lots of music and sweat and fun too. And that’s just in the van on the way to the gigs.
We’ve been working on some new songs as well. If you were at Red Roar Festival at the Red Lion you might have heard Smuggler’s Leap, and we’ve got several others at various stages of completion.
One should be ready any day now. It’s called St Bartholomew’s Day and we’re just polishing it to make sure it’s perfect as it has lots of parts and a fairly complicated arrangement by our standards.
These two songs, along with Holly Shore which we’ve been playing for a few weeks now, will all be recorded in December back at Bernie Torme’s Barnroom Studio.
They are all based on Kent legends, all really interesting stories which we decided to turn into songs. It makes a change from our usual subject matter, and poses different song writing challenges so it’s been a good learning curve for us.
We also have two new new songs which are at much earlier stages, but both are showing promise (we think), and most of us have written parts... once we get back to regular practices in October things should start moving a bit faster. You can hear short bits of them on our latest video blog.
And we’ve got more local gigs coming up too in Maidstone and Canterbury, plus a special Christmas party planned... comes earlier every year doesn’t it? More details later!
Welcome to our new Myspace page! We think it looks well flash, and we plan to keep it updated with fresh news, videos and gigs as regularly as possible so keep checking back.
Our page was designed by Pinkie Designs – if you need a new page, you really should give her a look: www.pinkiedesigns .com. Leah does not charge the earth and she’s great to work with... She put up with our nonsense anyway and that takes some doing.
Talking of nonsense you can watch Matt and Mafro spouting nearly 30 seconds of it in our new video blog.
This is something we are experimenting with at the moment, and we plan to feature jams of new songs we’re working on, behind the scenes footage of what we get up to back stage (18C) and Matt repeatedly smacking himself in the face with a melon.
Right... I started this blog about a month ago. What I need to do is write less... or write quicker... one or the other. Anyway, just in case anyone still gives a toss what we were doing over a month ago on August 1, here it is...
I was feeling pretty disjointed about 1am on Sunday morning. We did three gigs in a row, travelling from Dover to Croydon to Horsham, and it really felt like we’d just done a weekend’s worth of gigging... except I’d only left the house 14 hours ago. Weird. It was like I gained a Sunday... or lost a fortnight. One or the other.
Anyway it was a pretty cool day, apart from the bastard weather, which got progressively worse throughout the afternoon.
Dover was great though, and the Dock Rock event was well organised and welcoming with food and drink and two big artic lorry trailers to play from.
Matt and Mafro were interviewed by Pat Marsh on Radio Kent, while the rest of us listened on a portable radio round the back of the lorries and laughed at them. Fears the interview would turn into a presentation on cymbals and the benefits of growing your own vegetables proved unfounded.
There were about 1,000 people there when we played at about 1.30pm, and we pulled off a tight set, and got some good feedback, even though it seemed a bit early in the day for the crowd to really get moving. There are some shots of the gig up on facebook.
That was the last we saw of the sun that day, and by the time we got to Croydon Music Festival, water was cascading from the sky in sheets, drenching everything and everyone.
When we found our stage Mark, the stage manager, said they had been told to cut the power to avoid everyone being electrocuted. We said we’d do a busking style acoustic set, even though it would mean doing without Jim.
So we walked back across the festival to the van and tried to dry out a bit. Matt and I got an organic bacon burger each. It was tasty. I owe him a fiver. It is a month later, and I haven’t paid him. Ha ha.
The organisers must have been cursing the rain as the whole thing looked like it would have been brilliant... loads of stages, really well laid out, easily enough room for the 40,000 people it was designed to attract.
The main stage was immense (and the power was still on) and the sound was incredible. It should have been a great day.
But it was the sort of rain you can’t ignore... you know when you’re in the street and suddenly it’s like some tosser has started pouring buckets of water out of the sky, and everyone runs into the shop doorways and crowds together staring at the rain and says “I’ve never seen anything like it”?
It was like that.
We couldn’t even face exploring the festival it was so wet, so we sat in the van moaning at each other, then traipsed back to the stage to set up.
By some miracle the power had come back on, so we quickly plugged in and got going. Some of our mates had come to see us from Gravesend and Croydon, and it was good to see Nicky and Tom and Dave... there was also a wasted half naked bloke who seemed to enjoy it...
The power stayed on for about three songs then cut out again, but we kept playing and just moved to the front of the stage. Everyone moved right up to the stage so they could hear and we belted out the songs as loudly as we could.
Not wishing to get all sentimental, but I thought there was a real feeling of togetherness with everyone enjoying music in the rain, and it actually turned out to be a lot of fun.
The guys organising the stage – Esther and Mark from the Green Dragon – were really nice too, and said they would have us back for a gig at the pub in the dry. Awesome!
At 6.30pm we piled into the van and got back on the road, arriving at Frontier Festival in Horsham just before 8pm.
The rain had kept many away, and there were far fewer than the expected 300 people, but everyone who was there seemed to be enjoying themselves with a free hog roast (awesome) and busking sets – the organisers had to cut the power here too – told you it was wet.
But the rain stayed away and as things dried out the festival got going properly again. Was good to see the Drone Rebels again – check our top friends – who organise the whole thing, and Drew kept the event going despite the setbacks.
We played just after it got dark and it really looked amazing with the lights and everyone at the front. The power cut out a couple of times, but it came back on again, and we just kept playing regardless.
We loved playing, but the Drone Rebels owned the show with their home crowd loving every minute of their set.
We were pretty knackered by this time and shortly after the Drone Rebels finished we headed back to Kent.
Lots of other stuff has been happening... there will be more frequent, shorter updates from now on... promise.
The last few weeks have been great. We’ve played some brilliant gigs, the highlights of which have been Lounge on the farm and Party in the Park in Galhampton, two of the biggest shows we’ve done so far.
We played the two festivals back to back, turning up at Lounge on the Farm in Canterbury on Friday and heading over to Somerset soon after we came off stage to play on Saturday.
In some ways we were sad to leave Lounge... the sun was shining, loads of our friends from other bands and gigs etc were there and the whole place had a really nice feel to it.
As some of you will know, Mafro is well into organic gardening and vegetables. He loved being on a farm, smelling of poo, and wearing his farmer’s hat which he bought for a fiver.
The silage on the field was that our set went better than we could have hoped, and the Sheep Dip tent soon filled up with people dancing and really getting into it. This is what makes a gig for us and it definitely felt like something special. Thanks to everyone who watched us!
We handed out about 150 free cds at the end and sold 45 t-shirts... for the princely sum of £2 each! Was great to see lots of familiar faces and we really hope everyone likes the new sound. Give us a shout to let us know what you think.
But as much as we would have liked to hang around and relax on the farm in the sun, we had to get into our hot smelly van while hot smelly Matt drove us to Galhampton in Somerset.
Howdoesyourgardengrowfro took the wheel for the last stint and we got to the campsite in good time, albeit in the pouring rain.
Marf’s tent was still mouldy and musty from the last time we had taken it down at Sellindge, so we all sat in the van for a bit drinking beer and eating fish while it stopped smelling.
We got drunk and loud, especially Hannah, and got told off by an unpleasant bald man for being noisy and obnoxious. See below:
So we went to bed, and concentrated on being quiet and obnoxious in the dark.
Galhampton (which is very close to Glastonbury) was only half an hour’s drive from the campsite so we got there well early, while they were still setting up the massive PA.
The stage was awesome and had half a bouncy castle over it, which was good because barring a couple of hours in the afternoon it rained pretty much continuously.
Not that this did anything to discourage the crowds at Galhampton, who were up and dancing to the bands almost as soon as the day kicked off.
Party in the Park is a brilliant day, an awesome mix of a village fete and a festival... so you have a proper big stage and PA, as well as a tea tent selling home baked cakes. The Beat (who were amazing by the way) headlined the festival, and despite the driving rain the crowd of about 1,000 was skanking away long into the night.
We had so much fun during our set... all of us got well into the gig, careering about the stage, taking the piss out of each other, possibly forgetting to sing part of Empty Boxes, etc... NotoGMcropfro jumped into the photography pit and couldn’t get back up on stage again... It was great.
We think Galhampton is the biggest crowd we have played to so far, and thanks so much to everyone who stayed out in the rain watching us and dancing and shouting. It was an amazing day, and one we will remember for a long time.
The organisers were really sound as well, and the spirit behind the whole event was amazing. It really was a proper example of the whole community coming together to put on something awesome everyone could enjoy.
We asked one woman whether any of the locals ever complained... she looked surprised and said: “we are the locals!”
Wish this kind of thing happened in the village I live in!
We hung about to watch Hugh Cornwell and The Beat, then Marf drove most of the way back to Kent, with me doing the last bit and only going over the rumble strips twice.
Next Friday (July 17) we are in Dover Town Hall for YOG, which should be a good one. Our mates Wires Faulty are also playing, and the gigs are normally a lot of fun, despite no one being allowed to drink.
We are already planning our next studio trip and there will be lots of other new stuff soon.
As you have probably heard, unless like me you often forget to turn off mute on your laptop, we have put up our first recordings as the new line-up, and we are pretty damn chuffed with them.
We reckon it’s the closest we’ve ever got to capturing our live sound, and as anyone who has been with us for a while knows, we’re all about the live shows...
The man we have to thank for this is Bernie Torme at Barnroom Studios in Doddington: http://www.barnroom.co.uk
For anyone who knows their classic rock history, Bernie was the guitarist from gold-selling band Gillan, not to mention a stint with Ozzy Osbourne’s band and lots of other musical projects.
He is a great bloke; first time we met him he turned himself upside down on a table, and the atmosphere was really relaxed and fun, even after Hannah’s takes where she repeatedly stabbed a £3,000 microphone with her bow.
It wasn’t all good though. Typically both singers – me and Marf – were ill. I malingered about at home for a couple of days with a throat that felt like a rusty cheese grater, so I missed out on a lot of the fun/boring bits while everyone else did all the work/ate Mars Bars.
But by Sunday both of us managed to blast through the songs with one or two takes per track, which is pretty much all we could manage to be honest. Quite lucky really. Hopefully the throatiness hasn’t come across on the recordings.
Mixing took longer than Bernie had envisaged. He called us bastards, but he might have been joking, and he definitely put in the hours mixing the tonnes of tracks we’d laid down.
Have a listen and see what you think of the results!
We’ll be self releasing a free CD with artwork, lyrics and everything in the next couple of weeks, which we’ll be giving away at the festivals and gigs we’ve got booked over the summer.
If you want the songs now, come and visit us on our website where you can download less-compressed-than-MySpace versions for free. You can chat to us too if you want. Today we have mainly been discussing stunt biking and Battenberg cake.
New MySpace is nearly done by the way... we’ve seen drafts and it looks awesome!
We were on the radio the other night, doing another session on Phoenix FM show Curveballs with DJ Nick Field. It was sweaty and awesome, with all six of us packed into a tiny studio where we played a few songs, including newish ones Empty Boxes and Ignore the Sketcher.
Nick was kind enough to record the whole thing and stick them up on the net, so if you want to hear the first recordings of these songs in a slightly broken down format, check out Curveballs on www.phoenixfm.com
And on Sunday, June 7 we played Sellindge Music Festival, which was an amazing gig. Sellindge 2008 was the first festival we ever played, so it was great to go back and see how much it’s grown.
A few of us stayed for the whole weekend, and saw lots of cool acts. Really enjoyed comedian Nathan Caton, who was on in the comedy tent after Supergrass played on Saturday.
And there were lots of good bands on the BBC stage weekend, including Shadow Aspect, and Tom Williams and the Boat.
Our set on Sunday was one of the best we’ve done this year. The tent was full of people who were really up for the gig and we really threw ourselves into it.
Sellindge is a quality festival and I can’t wait for next year!
We’ve been practising some new songs recently... got two nearly done, one called Mr Sinister, the other Holly Shore.
They should be ready in the next few weeks, although we’ve got so many gigs booked this summer actually getting time to practise is getting difficult.
On Friday, June 12 we were up in Depford playing the Birds Nest. Played with a really good blues guitarist called JD Smith.
The gig was slightly more subdued than the last time we played at the Birds nest when the drum kit got trashed by flying bodies, but it was a good intense gig and we blasted through a short 25 minute set.
Next day we went to Ipswich to do a gig at PJ McGinty’s. This is one of our favourite venues – the landlords Dave and Veronica are awesome, and are always really nice to us.
Plus the sound is amazing and if people actually go upstairs to the venue part of thepub, they are in for a good show.
And last night we played Orange Street in Canterbury... again the sound was incredible but at 10.30pm on a Monday the place wasn’t exactly heaving. Good fun gig though, love to go back on a Saturday.
Only dark thing at the moment is our throats are suffering a bit from the heavy gigging and practicing schedule.
Taking it well easy this week as we are recording our first ep with the new line-up at Barn room studios this weekend, and want to be as close to top form as we can manage.
So now we are just getting the artwork for the ep sorted and should have a shiny new myspace layout for you soon.
Literally watch this space.
The first weekend back with the new line up was amazing. Thanks to everyone who came down to the Carpenters on Friday and made it an awesome night. Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
Feels really good to be gigging again after two months off – longest time with no gigs for at least two years, and it was getting to everyone a bit.
Only down point was that one of the bands we booked to play didn’t turn up that night – no explanation – but other than that it was a great night all round.
Nandi from Nitemare photography took some great live shots of the gig which will be up on myspace soon. She is currently working on new promos for us and we can’t wait!
Next day we headed up to London to play for Pus Promos at the Bedford Park in Streatham. We played last, after midnight, and quite a lot of people had to get the last tube so the audience was a bit thin but it was good fun anyway, and great to see Zac, Andy and Nicky again.
Really enjoyed War Against Sound from Blackburn, who put shit loads into their performance and have some cool tunes.
Cheers to everyone who helped us load our gear out!
We had to head up to Manchester the next day, and leave Jim’s car somewhere he could collect it on the way back... I can’t be bothered to explain why... it’s complicated and dull. So despite wanting to go to the after show party and drink beer we decided to push on up north.
After dumping Jim’s wheels in a service station just outside London we carried on up the M1, and finally stopped in another service station which smelt of piss.
How a whole service station can smell of piss is beyond me, but this one managed it.
We drank loads of beer and told each other things which I’m not allowed to include in this blog. This is probably a good thing. Just thinking about it makes me want to throw up on the keyboard.
As usual, much of Los Salvadores had come equipped with some sort of tinned fish so the whole van smelt of sardines, tuna etc. And did I mention the service station smelt of piss?
It was to get worse. A lot worse. Jim’s shoes worse.
Soon we noticed it was getting light, we were drunk, and at least some of us had to drive four hours to Manchester the next day. Shit.
We couldn’t be bothered to put up a tent, and as I might have already alluded to, the service station smelt like a toilet anyway, so we made the inspired choice to sleep all six of us in the van.
Everyone contorted themselves into a sleeping bag and tried their best to drift off... apart from Marf and Jim, who giggled and poked each other all night/morning. Weird.
Hannah woke up in the front footwell. She is small.
I slept on top of the equipment in the back. Amps and guitar cases are hard and lumpy. I also had a large bar of chocolate in my pocket. Chocolate is melty and sticky.
Basically sleeping in the van was a shit idea.
Note to rest of the band: next time we take the offer of a floor!
Anyway, next day it was hot and sunny, and even the pissy service station seemed slightly less like a giant urinal, or at least more like one that had been cleaned and had those yellow pebble things put in it.
We sat on the grass and played guitar and got a bit sunburnt. Someone gave us some orange juice which may or may not have been shoplifted.
By midday we had uncramped ourselves sufficiently to sit in a seat, and each drunk a bucket of coffee to kick start our confused brains.
But....
The van smelt like Jim’s feet had died in it, been reanimated as zombies, rampaged around for six months, got back in the van and finally succumbed to a well aimed shot from an incontinent hillbilly who had been living in the van surviving on road kill during the intervening months.
So we opened the doors and windows a bit. Matt did his weird gagging thing... Then we got back in and went to Manchester.
We got to the Retro Bar about 4pm and loaded in. The Ska Bar nights at the retro Bar are awesome, and we really look forward to going back each time... we’re playing the Ignition Festival in August which sounds amazing.
The people who go to the Ska Bar nights are there for the music, and really pay attention to the bands. The standard of the acts is uniformly high too, so you know you will turn up and see something special.
On top of that, drinks are cheap and everyone is friendly – generally a quality night.
Sunday was no exception, and we well enjoyed our set. Hannah’s bro and his mates came along which was good. Hannah gets well excited whenever we go anywhere past London. Her eyes light up at the slightest whiff of steel works or fish gutting factories.
I reckon we played the tightest show of the three days, and everyone was getting into it... we even had a few people dancing down the front which was awesome, and got some great comments at the end.
Ignition festival should be amazing.
We left at about 10pm to go back to Kent. The drive home wasn’t too bad really. Good work everyone who can drive except me. I should have been sleeping but stayed up talking. Naughty.
The days of breakdowns and 3am bump starts should hopefully be behind us as Mafro got Jean Claude Band Van looked at and fixed up over the last few weeks and he passed his MOT recently with no issues at all, which bodes well for the summer.
We got back at about 3.40am.
Everyone was knackered on Monday, but we’re off again tonight to go on the radio with DJ Nick at Phoenix FM. Crackle!
Hi, thanks for the add, hope you like the songs, let us know what you think, hopefully see you at gig sometime, We have just released a new 3-track single on iTunes, Napster etc If you could tell your friends about us that would be great, and also add us :-)
Saturday November 7 at The Vollrath Tavern, Indianapolis
With an assembly that includes members of Ministry (Warner Bros.) and Thrill Kill Kult (Rykodisc), it's obvious project .44 has a firm grasp on the aggro/industrial/tek metal scene. Hailing from the industrial/tek-metal capital of Chicago, where pioneers like Ministry paved the way for recent grads like Static-X, project .44 continues the tradition of Chicago's knack for mixing pulverizing guitar licks with catchy dance beats. It is the forging experience that Louis Svitek (Ministry) provides when laying down the tracks that the band transfers to the stage explicitly and explosively.
Also dance all night to resident DJs Copper Top, Zlaya, Krazy Karoline
How's going with you? Many thanks for the friendship. I really appreciated it. I want also let you know there is a new release "DJ Solano - Turn Off The Lights - [Extended Mix]".

Please visit www.michaelmcconnell.co.uk to be part of this. I appreciate it if you have time to do this for me, if you do not I will understand. Thank you
Good to see you all again the other night. Was the first time I've seen you since your lineup changes. You're like a totally different band, but I guess that that was inevitable. Hope that things are all good for you and I'm sure that I'll bump into you in the not too distant future.
How do Los Salvadores? thanks for the friendship. We play mostly in the Folkestone area, occasionally stretching out to Sussex and up town. Hope to catch up at some point, best regards, TJD
