We're taking a weeks break in between gigs originally to finnish the album but since everything is already recorded I'm spending time with the kids and Johns gone fishing...Miri's busy with Paul Oxley's Unit and Kasper is recording some heavy metal stuff.
Pete Knuutinen sound enginer supreme did the first part of the tour but he's commited to do IDOLS from now on until it ends... he wasn't happy about it :-) Thanks Pete, always a pleasure to have you with us!!
Jukka "Beavis" Oja is coming home from some tour in Germany just in time to continue with us at On the Rocks the 30th. He is also doing Guitar Slingers and is a cool guy who yet doesn't play golf ( like Pete he,he ).
As I said the album is now 80% ready only mixing of 3 songs remain and then the mastering.
Once the mastering is done I'll write a little describtion about the songs.
All the best and C U out there,
Ben

New gig 31.10 Nevada, Porvoo
Hi everybody,
Some good news for a change.... we got a gig in Porvoo, good old Nevada. BGB has played here many times before and it's a great place.
Also everything execpt 1 vocal is done with the new album. I'm very pleased with it... it will be strange to wait until february to have it out. We're already playing 3-4 songs of it live.
Take care,
Ben

Another cancellation...!!!
This business sucks! I'm very tired of booking all gigs myself...I'm supposed to be able to write music and practice with the band or even by myself and not sit in my office talking to clubs, promoters etc.
I just heard that Karjaa, Affes the 31.10 is cancelled...this is the 4th cancellation for this tour. What is most disturbing is that it's not up to us but business simply isn't good enough for clubs and they can't afford to have bands playing anymore.
With the economy being what it is and everything loosing value (execpt vintage guitars ha,ha!) one must admit that these are hard time for anyone.
Well, the only good thing is that the new album is coming along great!! Now if I only can afford to pay the studio bills :-)
People of Tammisaari! Get off you butt and come to No:1 on Friday and listen to a great band!!
No:1 is one of the best clubs in this country and it's a shame that we will be the last live band there for a long time... SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL ROCK'N'ROLL CLUB!!
Cheers,
Ben
