Weekly Round-up plus Music Video Ideas

We have good news: We've finished up in the recording studio...and have a new song which was added to the album, called 'Running Circles' which will be up on MySpace for you guys to hear by the end of play today!

To all those who came to support us at Breezers last Saturday, Grazie Mille! Please, to note again, Zini Music Festival this weekend - we have moved our slot to Friday at 9pm (no longer Sat slot), and Friday 01 May is a public holiday. Fest gates open at 10am, camping facilities available and included in your entrance costs.

Ok, so if you live in South Africa, and you've had your head in the sand (because, let's face it, like most of us, its the easiest way to live your life happy and carefree around here) and still haven't tuned into MK, South Africa's very own MTV, on DSTV channel 324 - then seriously...Where have you been?! MK showcases some of SA's hottest talent in the music industry including top international acts. So we get that it is in Afrikaans (which gives Germany no excuse) but most of us learnt that in school anyway, and besides, its all about the "musiek". To get to the point - it's the place to be seen if you're an up-and-coming SA band with an album coming out, hence why we need to get featured on MK.

So we have this friend, who has a friend, who knows somebody, who knows someone else...who could help us do a music video, which we could send in to MK and fulfil our short-term goal of being recognised on a national front. We've got a couple of ideas, but seeing as you're the fans - we want you to let us know what song you think we should use for our first video and your ideas for what it should be all about (like specific venues etc). To do so, leave your comments below - you input will be greatly appreciated!

* Peace Party People * .... And remember, as long as we got music, you know we gonna be ok!

Dates to manuvah into your diaries

Holla ya'll

Hope everyone has recovered from Splashy - minds, dignity and missing socks can now be collected from lost-and-found - you know who you are!!
