A Weekend with MOTORHEAD!

Apr 182011

We’ve had eventful weekends before but this has to be the mother of them all. It kicked off Saturday night with a gig at The Royal Oak in Southampton in which we had a great turn out. As always, thanks to everyone who came to support us.

While packing down Popey decides to give Mikkey Dee a quick call as we are scheduled to go to see Motorhead the next day. Much to our surprise Mikkey is out to see a friend (Steve Lukather) performing at The Brook. The second surprise is that Mikkey wants to meet us for a beer (or several) Continue reading »

It’s time for a change. A blog from Hicks – Instantly recognisable by the lack of spelling mistakes. We’ve had two tremendous gigs recently. Supporting Hi-On Maiden at The Wedgewood Rooms and a brilliant Brook night, supporting HairForce5. To make things even better, we got free beer in both venues – result.

Jase and I have been re-working guitar parts in preparation for The Brass Monkey, Fareham on the 12/11/10, The Royal Oak on the 20/11/10 (both these venues are FREE ENTRY).

Howdy Rockers,

You have Ricky doing the blog today! First off I hope all of our American friends had an extra awesome Halloween and the people that celebrated it in UK had fun too. I Carved a killer pumpkin!

We have had a few gigs the last week. The Boomerang gig was fun, as the venue had a sound bubble which cuts the sound off if its too loud.(I don’t think these people had heard us before hahaha.) We had to play acoustic songs until we got bored and then we tried to play some songs louder and it was so funny watching Popey tap the drums. On the Friday we Supported the awesome Hi On Maiden at the Wedgewood rooms and it was a kick ass night. The crowd were wicked and we really enjoyed the gig. Tonight we have a gig at The Brook Supporting Hairforce, So we are looking forward to that and hopefully were get to see many of you.

Crash and I have been doing some more song writing this week, Well I have, Crash has been doing his hair. We have some great new ideas so we will start to put them down in the next couple of weeks and may even upload a couple of early demo’s for you to listen too. We are also going to get our music played on Canadian radio station radiorockcafe.com so you will be able to hear our music on there shortly and also our jingle we have recorded for the station.

Take care and if you see a Badger caring my bass approach with caution.
