Smokey Bastard in the Christmas Room

So on Saturday the band played a small acoustic set at the Christmas Room in Matt's house. There was a small gathering of friends and family to keep us company, but the main reason is the recording of our new acoustic live album.

It's still being mixed at the moment, but expect to be able to buy it at a gig soon.

Don't forget to check up coming gigs.

Three Guineas AGAIN!

New videos added to the media section. Watch them, and then come along to the Three Guineas gig on the 4th of April. You will be watching the progress of exactly one year of Smokey Bastard. Since that was our first ever gig, you might even say that this gig on Friday will be our one year anniversary. I do say that, because it is.

It's free entry!

Three Guineas

Sophie says that we've done some new things, but personally, I don't believe her. You'd really have to start defining the word "things". I guess we played a gig. and wrote some new songs. Ok, so he have done some new things. Fine.

Also, notice that the gig in Portsmouth has been cancelled and Ian gives me his word that his computer will be fixed soon.

Facebar

Successful gig at the Facebar on Saturday night. We turned up late, so only saw a few bands, but I highly recommend Sondaschule, Once Over and in particular The JB Conspiracy. They are friendly chaps that play fun times ska.

As for website updates, Ian's computer has taken a temporary turn for the worse meaning he can no longer edit pictures. You'll have to wait a lil' bit more before you can see our chisled faces in the band page. We're also working on making it so you can buy our EP "Never Don't" from the merch page, but why would you when you can buy it from a gig for 1 pound.

Nearly Newsy

After a very productive weekend practice, the band move even closer to the edge of their seats regarding the imminent big news. In site news, everything's nearly finished and even though no one like Internet Explorer, the site is now compatible with it. Including the old versions of IE which apparently hate everything. Hooray to Ian and his hard work. Smaller updates to the site are also being made, but I won't bother you with them. Yet.

Blog

Chris and Alex have writ some things that are both tear jerking and painfully poignant. Go to the blog to see it. Before you do that, you should probably go to the updated band page. I'm pleased with the results, although they'll probably change with time so don't forget to look at it every day. Just incase.

Update

Dear everyone

Just updating you as to the Smokey Bastard situation. Even though all of us are currently wasting time and eating procrastination toast in our own prospective towns, there has been a lot of activity. Our recently recorded EP "never don't" got added to many places on the internet, most of which are involved with some sort of "internet community" . I'm sure that each and every one of you is involved some way or another with one of the following, so get involved if you are. It's got to be more fun than what's going on here at the moment:

The Smokey Bastard Myspace
The Smokey Bastard Facebook page
The Smokey Bastard Blog
The Smokey Bastard Reverbnation page


Enjoy! I know I'll enjoy every last soul destroying moment!

Yours pessimistically,
