My band is finally getting its s*** together, so I thought I'd canavas your opinions.

We've got a couple of tracks on MySpace here.......

....and a video that a nice local filmmaker did for us, which you can view for a short while here....

It's part of a competition where filmakers had two weeks to make a music video. This site will probably disapear after the 12th December when the comp is over, but then we hope to put it on MySpace.

Anyway, curious to hear what you all think. And don't worry, I can handle the truth!

Great stuff mate! Professional production, really good guitar work, tight sound. Vocals are strong (though obviously american/nu-rock influenced). Bet its monstrous live!

We get sent loads of CDs at work for my show, but this would be right near the top of the pile. Let me know if you ever come to town.

Do I recall correctly - is that Oxford? We're looking to broaden our gigging range now - any venues in your locale that you'd recomend as being suitable for our stylee? If so, you may well see us in the near future.

Where are you based?

Sheffield. Its where its at, baby!

However, I live in rural Derbyshire, which isn't quite so rock 'n' roll

There's quite a few fruity venues here:

The X
The Zodiac (soon to be a Carling Academy)
The Wheatsheaf
The Cellar

Loads more in fact. I'll PM you a few numbers if you decide you want to come down.

Its nice in Oxford. Its full of yellow buildings and pretty people.

Oh yeah! If you've got some contacts (venue promoters, etc) that you can PM me that would be great!

You are a star!!

We need to get outside Derbyshire /south yorkshire, which is really the only places we've gigged so far. Why not Oxford as a next step?

Big student attendance at gigs is there?
