Another quick update – we weren’t due to have played any more shows by now when we wrote the last blog entry, but in the last week and a half we have ended up playing TWO additional shows! The first show was last Friday 10th Feb at Molloys in Colchester. They had a last minute cancellation in the early afternoon and called us up to fill in. I reckon if you called up any other combination of 4 people in their mid-20’s they’d have been busy… not us it would seem. Well, I say that, it was my brother’s last night out in town...
read moreJust a quick update to bring us into February – not a huge amount to tell you about since the last blog but thought we’d let you know about our first ever show in Hadleigh. I’ll be honest, we were a bit unsure as to how well we’d go down at The George in Hadleigh as it’s a slightly more traditional drinking hole in rural Suffolk – a slightly older clientele and perhaps more of a bluegrass/country vibe… we’re a little bit more rocky than that, but the sets are pretty varied so we thought we would...

We had a few weeks off gigging whilst we all settled back into work after Christmas and New Year, learned a few new songs and managed to sneak a couple of shows in towards the back end of the month. The Duke’s Head, Stowmarket (21st Jan ’12) We kicked things off last Saturday night at The Duke’s Head in Stowmarket – it was the first EVER time they’d had a band playing so we were...
read moreSo it’s the New Year, 2012, and we’re well underway building on our set and booking shows in Essex and Suffolk – we’ve got shows in Colchester, Stowmarket, Hadleigh and Bury St Edmunds over the next couple of months so if you’re in and around any of these areas then pop along and have a dance with us! There’s also talk of us recording a new demo in the next couple of months, just to give a bit more variety on the music page. If you’re lucky, we may even get a bit of video footage up as...
read moreWhat a month December has been! First 3 shows done and dusted, and it all seems to have gone down pretty nicely So we kicked things off at The Judge & Jury on Saturday 3rd December – a bit of a strange one as it’s more of a venue than the corner of a pub… and the stage stands around 3 metres high (slight exaggeration… it’s probably more 1 metre). We were the only band playing and honestly, most of the people there were family and friends so a nice way to start. Then came Pat Molloys at the top of North...
read moreHello and welcome to the first ever Dog In A Side Car blog post – exciting I know We will be using this area to keep everyone up to date with what we’re up to, the shows we’ve played and have coming up, new songs added to the repertoire… all that sort of stuff. So the story so far is that we’ve spent the past 3 months rehearsing to bring our set time up to a reasonable length (whilst having a couple of spare tunes in case we’re asked!). We’ve worked on getting everything super tight, and we are now at a...
