A belated happy new year!

Big things for the band this year. The six songs that took up a long time last year are almost done; recording has finished and mixing and mastering is in progress. They sound mighty.

The band will be playing live this year, and are currently in talks to appear at a festival in South London in the summer.

The band played a two set gig last night in South-East London.

The band played an informal set of five songs for some guests from Israel on Tuesday night, James performing new song WHEREVER DAYS GO solo, followed by the band playing WHICH SONG IS OUR SONG? Another new one was next, Alastair's PUNCH ABOVE MY WEIGHT, with requested songs JUST A BUD and HOUSE ON SAND finishing it all off.

We've set up a button on the downloads page by which you can donate to the band.

Here's the latest from Ether City - Learning To Get Out Of My Skin, with a chorus that encourages you to do just that. Check out Mayes's wah soloing. And also his vocal on Which Song Is Our Song!

The first photos of the band live are now up in the gallery section. There are five shots taken just before the gig started.

There are 17 new photos in the photos section. Taken at the Hallowe'en guerrilla gig last year from a few angles around the audience, they show the band in action, individually and collectively, including Captain's face mask!
