There you go. The new singer has been revealed to the world. It’s me! Thanks for all the support from the band and the crowd at last nights gig at The Malt and Hops, Hythe.
After auditioning numerous singers post Guy’s departure from the band, we just couldn’t quite find the right person to fill his shoes. After a bit of tweaking (many, many, many thanks must go to Dielle at http://www.igloomusic.co.uk/ ; She’s my vocal coach) it was decided that I should give it a go. The results speak for themselves.
If you’ve got any photos from the gig and you’re happy for them to appear here and/or on Facebook then please send them over to rich@the-crush.net and I’ll see what I can do.
Here’s the set list from the proceedings:
Set 1
- THE ONE I LOVE
- 20th CENTURY BOY
- ALL DAY AND ALL OF THE NIGHT
- TAKE ME OUT
- UNDER THE BRIDGE
- ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL
- HEROES
- MONEY FOR NOTHING
- SUBSTITUTE
- NEED YOUR LOVE SO BAD
- YOU DO SOMETHING TO ME
- WHITE ROOM
Set 2
- CROSSROADS
- DAKOTA
- HYSTERIA
- I CAN’T EXPLAIN
- SUPERSTITION
- I’LL STAND BY YOU
- HARD TO HANDLE
- LONG TRAIN RUNNING
- DISCO 2000
- CAN’T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU
- MUSTANG SALLY
Encore = SWEET HOME ALABAMA
Thanks again,
Rich

We’re really excited about having Howard on board. I know we keep going on about him but the difference he’s made to the band in the few short weeks that he’s been with us is beyond words.
Here’s a couple more piccys from last nights rehearsal.
The ladies favourite, Howard! He rocks
This is a close up of the very microphone that Howard uses to belt out the tunes!
Stay tuned for more updates.
Keep it real!

As we’ve already mentioned before, we rehearse every Wednesday evening. We had our third run through with our new singer, Howard, last night. Suffice to say it’s all coming together nicely. We’re pretty much ready to be out here gigging now so roll on our gig on the 24th July at The Malt and Hops, Hythe.
Here’s some pictures from last night’s practice.

We’ve got some fantastic new material lined up as well. Hope to see you one the 24th!

Fantastic news – We’re back and we’re gigging! Our new singer will be unveiled at The Malt and Hops, Hythe on Saturday 24th July 2010. We’ve got new material as well which we can’t wait to play live.
There’s loads of speculation going on through our Facebook page (link below) as to who the new singer might be. All I can say at this stage is that we’ve been auditioning singers for what seems like an eternity. We’ve finally found the right man/woman for the job and he/she will be unmasked on the night.
New Singer?
Please come along and offer your support to our newest member.
WOO HOO!!

Early next month The Crush will be revealing the identity of their new singer. For those that don’t know we said a sad farewell to Guy a couple of months back and have been looking for a replacement ever since. We have now found that replacement and all I can say is watch this space…..oh alright here is a sneak peak….

Looking at the server log files I can see that there are a lot of people that keep coming back to our website on a regular basis. This is great.
However, you may have noticed that things have been a little quiet of late. As you may have already read elsewhere, Guy is no longer in The Crush. Pete, Jamie and I have been auditioning singers on an almost weekly basis trying to find suitable replacements for Guy. It’s been a tough job as all the auditionee’s that we’ve had along have been really great singers in their own right. That’s made the whole process that much more difficult.
Well, the end may be in sight. I can’t say too much at this stage but keep checking for news updates.

It’s with a heavy heart that we announce the departure of Guy from the band.
Guy has been with the band since it first formed last year but has left by mutual agreement.
Pete, Jamie and myself are still 100% dedicated to the cause and all our gigs etc will be going ahead as originally planned.
Watch this space for further news.
Thanks Guy. It’s been an absolute pleasure.
