Early Hours! Pfft....
I was smack bang in the middle of peak programming!

The ratings spiked 30% when i stepped on stage.
Another 5% when i picked up my 20th Silo.

I'm might just get my own series!
It'll be like Japan's Rock Fujiyama, but instead of Marty Friedman hosting, it'll be me. I'll invite Lucious & BP, we can have a few beverages, listen to some tunes and jam out a bit...

Okay... So maybe it wasn't that fairytale, but it was a good night and the band stuff might finally be coming together...slowly :)

We actually played Rosie O'Grady's from 10pm til 1.30am earlier that night.
Not all originals, but was a great gig! Crowd actually went off and the band was really firing. Finished the last song and legged it straight to the studio - haha we took our minivan as opposed to a chopper, but the rush made it feel suitably rock'n'roll :rolleyes:

We only got one song...squeezed in while an "idol" was taking a break.
But it didn't matter becasue we blew the clown off stage :D

Yeah, we just got our album back. Was being mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound Studios in New York. Unfortunately, i joined the band after alot of stuff had already been written and recorded, so it doesn't really have my flavour throughout it, but i take my liberties live and I can appreciate most of it. And i like the stuff we are writing now so thats most important.

We're just finishing up with some promo photos and in the middle of sorting a myspace and webpage, once we have that done i suppose we will try and tour and try for some partial endorsements...
The rhythm guitarist has already got a partial hughes and kettner deal and the bassist has sorted a gallien krueger deal... I figure when i get a sexy picture and our pages are sorted i'll write to CMC Music in the Eastern States and try for a partial EBMM Guitar endorsement :) haha i'm using the guitars anyway!!!

But it's all one step at a time at the moment... As soon as I have some footage/photos and our myspace & web page are up, i'll post a link or two...

Just quitely though, pretty happy someone notice :D Eww, I'm Famous haha.

I'll keep you boys posted..

Cool ! Knew it must have been you !
There's surely only 1 other 20th in Perth. (In addition to my 2).

My mate and his wife had a baby last weekend and were up doing an all-nighter, so decided to watch Telethon. He'd only seen pics of my 20th's the day before, and span out when he saw one on TV.

Must get out and see you guys and the 20th in action one of these days.

your friend is either incredibly observant or has no life......

Harsh !

What, you mean to say that you wouldn't notice a 20th on TV ?

I take a second look whenever I see anything that resembles an EBMM - it's not like it's a common occurrence.

I believe there is at least one more. Kosmic had one when they first came out, but yeah, Balls are definitely pretty thin on the ground over here within the Perth scene.

For sure Diz... Have a yarn and a few beverages.
I'll give you a buzz next time we are doing a reasonable venue haha.

Yeah... Seems a bit harsh... The guy just had a baby!

And just for the record...I work and gig really hard.. It might have been early in the morning, but we still got our band on tv and I think that's a start.

Even if he didn't, I like to think he noticed some tone or some chops... Then noticed the amazing instrument...
