General Update: AnarKaos, ALC etc.

Hi everyone!

I know it has been quite a while since my last post. The truth is, I have been completely swamped with the return to University and as we are approaching the end of term, obviously the assessment deadlines are getting closer!

Let's start with some AnarKaos updates. A couple of weeks ago we headlined the Hertford Corn Exchange. Also playing were Killerstance and a couple of other bands. Killerstance were amazing, finishing their set with a cover of Machine Head's "Imperium" which was well received. Although a lot of people had left by the time we managed to come on (past 10pm), the people who were left got really involved, dancing and moshing and singing along so we would like to say a big thanks to the AnarGeeks that stayed to support us! I do have a couple of video clips from this gig so hang tight and when I get home I will be sure to post these up! A few pictures can be found here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150340542922035.342492.644462034&type=3

Last night we also played for a friend's birthday bash which was started with several acoustic acts doing covers of popular songs. We didn't play an acoustic set however and I think drove most of the older generation outside for a smoke. The metal-heads stayed, head-banging at the front though so I think they enjoyed it! No pictures or anything for this as yet - but if anyone has any that we could post up we'd really appreciate it!

In other news - we are also looking for a manager to take care of booking gigs, negotiating money and sorting out promotion. We are happy to negotiate a percentage with any suitable person who must be committed, dedicated and as keen as we are to move forward with the band. Please get in touch if you know anyone or if you would be up for doing this yourself at: anarkaos@hotmail.co.uk

Moving on - A Lost Conspiracy are still looking for a vocalist and guitarist to get on board. At the moment though we are not doing a lot of rehearsing as our bassist, Dave Dale, currently has an injured arm and is advised not to be playing for a while. We wish him well and look forward to his return where we can carry on rehearsing and getting some kind of demo out to you guys!

I have just found out also that Shatter Your Illusions are headlining the Hertford Corn Exchange on the 8th December 2011 - so support the local music scene and get down there! Event details can be found at: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=191106974306708

Well I think that pretty much sums up everything at the moment. Sorry for the lack of posting! Have a good Sunday evening :).
