Just wanted to have a general gas bag about gigs as there have been some queries.
Ash from Familia asked Quinn on Facebook today, when he thought the band might be ready to start playing gigs. This is Quinna's response:
Considering that we are embroiled in a lawsuit at the moment... only joshing... Um, that's a toughie mate as we currently have two session drummers working on the album with us, and we're not rehearsing as such. Considering the reputation we had back when, we aren't going to rush anything. My vision is to get our product out as soon as is humanly possible, start building awareness of the band across a new audience while incorporating our die-hards as well and then look at the viability of touring. I don't want to just go around with no plan locally. We've done all that before and I'd rather build the interest online and also on radio and the video shows if its possible before getting out and cramming the new album down everyone's gullet. Some of the die-hards will have a bit of trouble with a few tracks I'm sure as we are a new version of Defryme and it shows in the music. I'm really looking forward to getting it out there, but playing small shows is not on my radar. Having said that, we will possibly do warm ups in Melbourne under an assumed name a few times, but other than that, we're not ready yet. I plan on releasing the first single as soon as its mixed, so I would assume depending on its overall acceptance and success, we could be gigging as soon as April, but that's a guess at best.
Although the plans to start gigs are a ways off for the time being, there is great news on the new music side with track "Anything Good?" only requiring Rob's guitar parts before a final mix. That'll be one down, fourteen to go...
