The last Sonic Boom Collective gig at the Retro Bar went well
so thanks to all the bands and everyone who turned up to make
it such a cool night. The recent Joe Strummer Tribute gig was
also a lot of fun. There are some photos and a review here
The website has been updated with MP3s from the EP and the lyrics
to the relevant songs have also been added. Get set for a new
look site at some point in the future...
The next gig is one of those wonderful Star & Garter Sunday
All-dayers and it's organised by Rhythmic Loz so get down for
a 'smashing' day/night on 23rd March. We also have a gig lined
up at the Witchwood in Ashton-Under-Lynne early next month and
we will be doing an Amnesty International charity gig at the Star
& Garter at the beginning of May. All confirmed dates below.
Hey, did I mention? WE NOW HAVE T-SHIRTS FOR SALE. They come in
both 'girls'
and 'boys' sizes in black and have
the logo below across the front and a nice little 'detail' on
the back. We have been selling them at gigs for £8.00 so
£9.50 seems a fair enough price to get one sent in the post.
If you want one just email for the address to send the cheque
to.

The 'Lessons From Chapter One Tour' is going very well
indeed, we have just finished The Toasters dates and it was hella
fun... The 6 track CD mini-album is finally available for purchase
but unfortunately the T-shirts have got to be put on hold for
a while.
The mini-album was recorded in Manchester during the last weekend
of October with 'The Dutchmaster' (of Capdown and King Prawn production
fame) behind the controls. The CD has been released by ourselves
at the moment and is available here through the website, at all
gigs and from Sabotage Records (2nd Floor Afflecks Palace, Manchester).

The tour begins today so that's all very nice. T-Shirts and CDs
should be available from the Sheffield gig onwards and from here
as soon as I get the chance to add a merchandise section. I have
added the other bands to the dates we are playing below, where
possible. Pictures of the last Manchester gig up soon! Until then
comrades, farewell.

The
site... Well here it is in (almost) full working order. Expect
updates fast and soon. MP3s are finally up of the three tunes
we have been demoing (check the audio section). There is also
a 'ph'at remix of Northern Skies available (courtesy of our good
friends at red raw) and lyrics for the tunes up so far.
There

recent 'Sonic Boom Collective' nights in Manchester. We are hoping
to take it to a new venue soon and have a few cool bands on the
cards...
