Band Practice - 17-08-10

New drummer try-out!!

Hi all, we've just had a really good practice run through our normal set.
We have had a new drummer trying to "get up-to-speed" with our normal material and the results are very promising.

Obviously, we are still going to need some time to get it all 100%, but I am hoping that will come with a few more practice runs.

There was a nice buzz to last night and everyone seemed to be enjoying the session and getting into the swing of things.

Not really much more to say.. hopefully more to come next week and perhaps a new recording date for our existing songs is not that far away.

Thanks guys!

News/Band Practice - 10-08-10

Hi All,

We're sad to mention that John, is no longer our drummer for Ashera due to personal reasons.
John has helped us over the last months to become an awesome band and was key to our successful 1st gig in Caerleon.
Thanks John, we wish you all the best and hope that you stay in touch.

Practice night was a little quieter than usual and a little strange not to have any drums there.
We decided to take the opportunity to write some new material.

We've come up with a slower melodic tune that sounds pretty sweet (if I do say so myself).
The whole thing has been recorded by Cath who will hopefully be able to get some lyrics out for us perhaps next week.

There were also a few other ideas that we've thrown around that were all captured on Cath's recording device and so maybe a few more songs could come out of this practice/jam session than first thought.

Recording of our two songs (Crave and Take away) has been now cancelled for the 14th August and obviously a drummer is required before we can start to record any more.

An advert has been placed on the JoinMyBand website, if your interested please use link below

That's it for now I guess.
Thanks all.
