Hey hey!!! What a great night! New singer revealed and new material played

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

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:

Even the press want to talk about us

See you on the 7th August RBL. We can’t wait.

More rehearsals with Howard

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

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!

Rehearsals with our new singer

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

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!
