Hi The.Blackout.District :)
Hope you had a great New Year and all the best for 2007 :) We've been working hard and have big plans for 2007 - but we could really use YOUR help (which is why we're contacting everyone :)). We're hitting the rehearsals soon and will be recording in March. After that we want to go on tour with our mini-album between Fri 21st April and Sun 6th May.
Unlike some bands - we really want to tour for our friends. We'd love to hear from you if you think you can help us come to your town. You may know a venue or a promoter. You may be able to help us advertise the gig or perhaps you can help us find a place to stay for the night. Or if you want to help design the album or posters - anything. Even if all you can do is lend some moral support we'd love to here from you. Email root@outofthegray.com and hopefully we'll be playing near you soon. Thanks for your time :)
Out Of The Gray
PS: If you can't wait 'til April - we're playing ONE gig at the Dry Bar, Manchester - supporting Hafdis Huld on Friday 9th February :)
Hey The.Blackout.District :)
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Season's Greetings! :) Whichever you prefer :)
Lots of love from Out Of The Gray, really hope you have a great time and get all your hearts desires. We'll be back in the new year with new tunes, some new recordings and a big push. Let's hope 2007 is a good year for us all :) Thanks so much for being there and we'll see you soon!
Luv Out Of The Gray
