Con's new bass

We had our first practice in ages and Con brought along his new acoustic bass. A good time had by all. Reminded me of some of those bands I used to go and see at ATP back in the day!

Tricycle gigs are like buses....

We're playing at Hamptons (Southampton) on Tuesday 17th May, supporting Arp Attack (saw them at our last gig - they rock) and Bravestation (very excited to be seeing these guys for the first time - they sound awesome).

We're on first so turn up early to avoid disappointment. Will hopefully get a soundcheck this time so there's every chance you should be able to hear Jim sing!!!

The Road to Blissfields

Had a top night at the Road to Blissfields show last night - so encouraging to see so many great Southampton based acts. A big well done to LST music - hope they have a fantastic time at the Blissfields festival.

With every gig we're learning more about the pros and cons of our live setup. Mixing on stage is proving slightly problematic - with a lack of vocal volume being the main issue last night. I think we're going to have to think about a system whereby all of the live stuff goes straight to the mixing desk (like a normal band) and then maybe we can tap off the signals and feed them into the computer.

Time for a bit of internet based research.....

Making a new website

Just trying to get my head round the new virb way of building websites. Early days yet but its looking like a great way to put some pages together with a minimum of fuss. After all I want to spend my hobby time doing music not IT!

That reminds me - back to guitar practice.
