Oops ... I was supposed to have posted this sooner than I did. Anyway, here goes. So what happened in the band during the eventful month of November? Well due to a stray memo that took on a life of its own, somehow the band – in fit of unfocused-ness – decided that it would be a good idea to play in the Durex ultimate Battle of the Bands )this in spite of the fact that we have loads of work to do on the album).

In the interests of working on our album we got together this Saturday to experiment with drum recording techniques. Dennis has some new and interesting ideas on how we can get really great  sounding drums, which we are always keen to try out. The one is called Front side mid and the other is something called Glynn John’s technique.

Its a little known fact but planning and practising are an essential part of becoming a rock star. One has to plan your practices and then your gigs and then one has to plan your planning which generally involves getting together and talking about everything and then ten minutes before leaving planning is discussed, world domination agreed on and everyone leaves. In the interest of making it big the band decided to get together on Monday night.

In the interests of getting going on our next recording, Sholto very kindly sent us all a couple of 'example' album covers ... to help us mull over new ideas. I include a couple of the more choice ones for your perusal. This has lead to some lively debate which I include:

Sholto:” This is giving me some new ideas for our next album.”

Francois: ”I think we should call our frontman "Devastating Dave, the marmite and cheese slave."
