Hey Ali!!
Just checked out the Inner City Lights video on the Eli & Oz site!! That's the baws dude!! Rockin' the beard too I see! Glad you're doing well. I really do need to catch up with you guys and check you out sometime!! Now that I am a father and still kicking it out with some metal bands, it's hard finding the time!
Keep throwing out the grooves man!!
Lovin' it!!

Hey Six People,
Hope you don’t mind us popping past with a gratuitous plug for our next gig.
We are playing at Maggie May’s, Thursday 12th August as part of the legendary Catapult night.
Four bands.
Doors at 8:00pm.
£5.
It’s rumoured that we are on last at about 10:00
Hope you can make it along.
We’ve also started up a Band Page on Face book, so feel to explore, poke, and if the mood takes you, click on our thumbs up to ‘like’ us.

Cheers,
The Lavas

Meursault is going very well, thanks. It's quite good being a member of one of your favourite ever bands! All good.
I'll keep recording music, but I just can't afford to travel to play shows and such like. It's a bit frustrating.
I still plan to release an album next year, I just need to re-record all the songs as I still consider them all to be demos. I want it to be entirely home recorded. I'll be sensible to play some shows as part of a tour to promote/sell, though, so I may start saving for that now to be able to budget for it.
I notice you go through spells of doing absolutely nothing; I think you need to address this and play/release more!

It's all a bit expensive, this trying to be a musician lark. It's an expense I can no longer afford :(

Helllo there. Yes indeed, we have been busy. You're going to have to a) get involved and b) come to the launch night and have a wee drink or two. Both of these things would be really quite good x

I can't believe I have to get comments approved by you before they appear on your site. There's really no point in doing it now :( ... oh wait, i've got an idea!
