New Tracks Update...

Just a quick update - we were back in the sutdio last night doing the final mixes for Full Circle and Burden Of Proof and we think they're sounding pretty sweet now :) A coupla tweaks from resident sad-git/mastering guru Chug and they'll be good to go :)

We'll keep ya posted with the releases asap!

Right.......Saturday afternoon show awaits, so time for us all to hit the alcohol laced breakfasts in preperation :)

Dark Poetry

The Local Herald press article seems to have been seen by everyone and their freakin granny, even got asked for autograph today. embarrassed? I almost asked her out.....heh heh. Brians line of "We just say what we think at time" (or whatever it was) seems to have been attributed to me :( Ye cannae argue wi the content though and the man Trimble did a bang up job of namechecking the dark poet himself - Mr Bill Hicks, so respect due.

Respect.....

A quality night in Perth on Saturday - massive respect to the Gin Goblins who I think blew each and every one of us away and to Tortura Nervosa who despite Rossko's pig-flu enforced absence :) fired up a qualty set of East Coast (Scottish-Style) h/c tinged hip hop - sweet.

And respect to the bar staff who kept the pints coming long after there was really no need for any more beer...... :)

Back up in Perth in a few weeks, can't wait and also can't wait to hook with up the Gin Goblins again either - quality guys :)

Next stop......Grangemouth...............gonna be errrr........... interesting :)
