Well hello every one once again. It has been a
crazy summer so far and for me it won't be over until the second week
in September, when I finally get a chance to take some holidays for few
weeks:-) So far I have had very busy year. Most of it has been due to
Sliotars new album and everything the new album brings with it. Also
we had few busy months with JPKALLIO.COM on the spring. But just before I was about
to leave on the summer stretch of Sliotars tour, Sebastian and Patryk
dropped the bomb and told us that it was a time for them to leave the
band... It did open a bag of emotions that I really did not expect.
About a month before there was a band meeting where we tried to
address the issues. I put aside my personal instincts and what I had
learned over the years and for the next six months I decided to do things other
peoples way. But a month in to it we got the news that the lads had decided to call it a day. I must say one thing though, the guys did
pick as good time as you ever can for their departure, so fair play
to them. We played our last concert with this line up on the 6th
of July 2012 in the Sweeney's basement. I am sure you will see both
Sebastian and Patryk around the town playing gigs sooner or later and
we'll be hooking up for pint's I'm sure:-)
Now I did have time to think about everything
for the past month and a half while on tour with Sliotar and when I
got back. The longer I play music the stronger I feel the need to be
true to my self. True in the sence how I write music, play music and
how I conduct my business around the music. So I'll be sticking to my
own instincts from now on;-)
This week we have been back rehearsing. We decided to go back to three piece, like we did when we started all
this. I am happy to say Des Gorevan, who I have been playing with for
the past twelve years in Sliotar kindly stepped in for now and he
will be playing with us this Saturday night in the Sweeney's bar. It
really does feel quite natural have him on the drums. Maybe if we
talk to him nicely he'll stick around.
So here it is, we're back in action! And
after my holidays in September you'll be hearing more from us. But
for now, we hope to see you in Upstairs in the Sweeney's this Saturday
the 1st of September. We're glad to get the opportunity to
play support for the legendary Patrik Fizgerald! Also the wonderful
Pimps and Gimps will be playing on the night.
