More Sick Ass Metal From The UK

So, it’s been an odd month for us here at Sa-da-kO central, so much so I want to fill this blog choc full of things we’ve been up to recently.

Our first major piece of excitement comes from the chaps at the Shipp inn over in Preston, it seems we’ve only gone and found ourselves in the final of their very own battle of the bands competition. This means that we now face four awesome bands on March 6^th to win a whole load of band goodies.

We’ve had nothing but technical problems since we started the comp with my guitar breaking on several occasions and I’ve convinced myself that the track “red” is cursed. I personally am looking forward to going all the way through a set there and showing what we are truly made of. (I can’t help but think I’ve jinxed the whole thing by typing that)

Quickly moving on.......

I mentioned not too long ago about playing a benefit gig in Southport on behalf of the Southport Haiti Buskathon, this comprised of about 20 bands and covered the weekend of the 27^th and 28^th February all in aid of raising as much money as possible for aid and relief of the area. We've been a guest on Dune Fm with Martian Hovden and managed to play right in the middle of Southport on a Saturday afternoon. The turnout was emence, with over 200 people sticking around and watching us metal up Southport town centre and it wiil always be remembered as the day we had a mosh pit on the towns streets.

I hope the team who have worked so hard for the charity see the comeback from donations and pledges, don’t forget it’s still not too late to donate to this cause.

Last but certainly not least of all we’ve been over in Manchester this week playing for the mad’eads in Grand Central this is the last time we see this city for 2 weeks before we begin our battle for bloodstock, this is where a whole host of metal bands fight it out for a spot on the prestigious Bloodstock festival and Wacken faestival.

Vicky over at “Angel of metal” is covering the event and has included us in her Podcast this week, try and stay tuned and follow how we get on and maybe with a bit of luck my guitar won’t break.

Till next time \m/
