They are sounding awesome and the artwork for the single cover is beautiful, thanks to Anne-Alexia Louarn from France, our Graphic Designer extraordinaire! Funny how the creative forces put into this single have come from different places around the world... Norway, France and Australia.

2nd in Pop Chart at Ourstage.com'What She Wants' as at 14 October 2009 is No. 2 on the Pop Chart out of 680 entries... let's hope it gets to No. 1! www.ourstage.com/contests/3467-pop Track of the Week: GaragebandLove Called Me Home has been selected out of hundreds of songs to become 'Pop Track of the Week' starting 10 August 2009. So exciting! FOUND: A Guitarist!We are proud to announce that a new guitarist has joined us to complete the band. He is from Norway and in Perth for studies. Eddie Dale. You can show him some myspace love: www.myspace.com/eddiedalemusic (awesome Van Halen 'Beat It' solo ... that kind of sold it for us). Here's a funny audition story... Eddie locked his keys in the car (with his guitar inside it) when he turned up for his audition! We waited about 1 hour for the RAC (car breakdown specialists) to arrive and unlock the car. When we finally got to jam with him, he didn't play so well because he was nervous and the 'locking his keys in the car thing' wasn't so good for his morale. But we listened to his myspace again and realised he had heaps of potential even though nerves killed the audition! So Eddie, you were saved by myspace ;)..... Missing piece of the puzzle...After a series of auditions, we've found a great drummer named John Reece. John is a seasoned drummer and guitarist (yes he's a guitarist in another band as well). Fantastic musician. Still searching for the right guitarist... let me know if you're a great guitarist or know of one! Farewell Joshua and JackDue to differences, Joshua (guitarist) and Jack (drummer) have decided to leave us. We thank them for their significant contribution, blood, sweat and tears to the band. Also want to wish them all the best in their lives and careers. No. 3 on Ourstage.com!"Love Called Me Home" was no. 3 (out of 409 entries) on the Pop chart on Ourstage.com, 5 September 2008. Ourstage.com is an American website featuring artists from all over the world, ranked according to how listeners rate songs in relation to other songs on the chart. |
