April Business
Ahh.. A nice quiet month, this month (hopefully). It's the calm before the storm though, as White Sunday have plenty of gigs booked in May, so once Dan the drummer gets back from his tour we can have a couple of rehearsals, polish off some new tunes and then go rock. We're playing Henley festival and Newbury festival this year (I saw Mike play Newbury festival last year - or was it the year before?- with Sonic Undermind. Well, I say "saw", what I mean is "turned up just in time to see them traipsing off stage") so hopefully White Sunday can enjoy some sunshine and rock out at this year's festival. We're playing at Po Na Na in Reading - as well as the customary Colorz appearance - and the Half Moon in Putney too. Need to try and sort out some more London gigs actually, I don’t want to play loads of gigs in May and then do nothing for the rest of the summer. Big up man like Mike Walton, big up man me like Luke, reeespect to Jimmy G, and one love to the nocturnal and entirely crazy Dan Lovegrove.
Auditions for the drum stool spot in Müf carry on apace, too - Mike's been getting some cool inquiries from people who sound as though we'd get on with them, just a case of getting them into Impact and road-testing them. Having the MP3 files really helps, it's probably scared off more people than it's attracted, but we're reassuring applicants that we don’t expect them - or anyone! - to re-produce Ian's crazy uber-technical wizadry, just to keep a rocking beat going! It'll be weird as hell playing the songs with a diferent drummer, but what can we do? Hopefully we'll just write a load of new material and be able to forget the current batch of songs.
Saw the Subways at the Fez on Friday - they were great! Hopefully there will be a review up on grassrootsx.com soon!
