So, this has been a pretty interesting month for the band!
It's been a month since the release of our debut album "A Dark Desire" and we've really enjoyed all the feedback we've gotten, even some of the absolutely ridiculous comments in certain reviews, which seem to center on the band (mostly) coming from Bideford and Doc.Martin, the ITV show... (their inaccurate reference being that the program is set here and the cast have funny accents, however it is shot in and set in Cornwall... which is as ignorant as saying The Beatles must be from Manchester due to their funny Northern accents!!)
Quite how our location relates to our music is beyond us anyway, but it is great to know that the "alternative" music press are as shallow as the contorted-venomous-phallus that is the mainstream gutter press, and that coherent grammatically sound (music) journalism is surely dying, if not already stone cold dead.
That said, the overall vibe we've gotten from everyone is fantastic, thanks as always for the support, and we are glad that people have taken the time to listen to the music, read the lyrics and delve into the story! It makes it all worth while!
This week we're looking forward to returning to Southampton to play with Apnia, Prion Son, Yellowgroove (and more) on Friday night, followed by a very belated CD release party for "A Dark Desire" on Saturday August the 8th, which also happens to be exactly one year since the release of the digital single "Your Web" and birthday of a certain Vampyrouss vocalist...
Very interesting stuff!
For now we're taking it easy absorbing all the influences and experience we can, I expect we'll start recording the next CD by the end of August or the beginning of September and play a lot more gigs before the end of the year!
As always we'll keep you posted, and hopefully we'll be able to provide some video blogs charting our travels and rehearsals and no doubt some amount of idiocy as always!
Thanks for all the support and messages,
