"Would make Slash take to his knees and beg for mercy"The Journal
Reviews of our debut album "My Magnificent Octopus":
"An ambitious and melodious statement of intent"* * * *
The List"An outstanding debut"MUSIC NEWS"Plenty to get your teeth into, to make you scratch your head, but also a decent amount of good solid riffing and grooves which insist you nod your head forthwith - 7/10"THE MAG"Despite some highly elaborate time and key changes, stacks of rock and jazz signatures and wave after wave of harmonies and melodies the album avoids falling into the abyss of self-indulgence, which in the wrong hands would be a real possibility."Fuse Magazine

And with the new album comes new opportunities! We've just been offered a development deal with Strollers Records to guide us through the release of our album and touring in 2008. Details are still being discussed but this does mean LESS WORK FOR US TO DO!! More ball scratching and sleeping for us. Awesome.
Hey guys, I'll be giving a track of yours another spin on tomorrow (Thursday) night's show - so tune in if you can and listen out for yourselves! Curveballs goes out from 10pm every Thursday on www. phoenixfm. com. Laters!
It was at Bongo Club actually - went really well for the most part, pretty fun. Bit of a disaster partway through one of the tunes though, which I think... yes, it is gonna piss me off for all time. ;)
Anyway, godspeed with rest of the recording, looking forward to hearing the result.
Jesus f***ing christ - just watched that video of Dionysus... What. A. Tune. I am jealous, gentlemen, jealous and incensed. Rest assured I'll be there at CabVol - March is going to be a hell of a month! How did the recording with GGG all go?
