2nd heat of the battle of the bands takes place this month.  Superjuice won the first heat and will be in the final on July 29th.  The top two bands from this heat, along with the winners from heats 3 and 4 will join them.
We will hopefully be promoting a gig in early october at the Cornhall in Cirencester featuring Statetrooper (former MSG vocalist Gary Barden's band), The Fortunate Sons (Featuring Tony Dowler), Superjuice and 2 other bands.  to be confirmed shortly.

June 2006  

The lineup for the Battle of the Bands final is now known.  Alibi Thieves, Kama Coma, Suicide Crypt, Superjuice and The Present will compete on July 29th at the Comrades Club, Nailsworth for the first prize of 50 hours in a studio.

Rock Festival at the Corn Hall in Cirencester on October 14th now Confirmed.  Lineup is Statetrooper, Athufaena's Puzzle, Alibi Thieves, Nations Decay and Salakin. Tickets are priced £10 in advance and £12 on the door.  We are pleased to welcome Statetrooper to the Corn Hall.  Featuring Gary Barden, the former vocalist for the legendary Michael Schenker Group, they reformed recently due to public demand and are well worth the ticket price for them alone.

On the second saturday of each month there will be a gig at the Comrades Club in Nailsworth. Tickets priced £4 per show. See the events page for full details

July 2006

We have booked Freestealer for a november gig.  They are a Manchester band who are the ultimate free and bad company tribute band.  Their vocalist truly has the same quality and tone of voice as the great Paul Rodgers.

Well the above gig now gone - and the man was on fire. Superb gig from a quite fantastic band. Great performance too from local band The Form, one of the supports. Check them out again - well worth it.
