In other news, I've put together a new band with ex-B*Movie Heroes bass player, Dave. 'The Cult of a Thousand Dead Kings' as we will be known, will be recording soon with ex-Amen drummer Luke J and an as yet un-named singer. Think Zeke-meets-the Bronx-meets-Backyard Babies ... high octane rawk'n'roll!

Good luck to Big Hairy Craig. |

'by jove - he's a bit uncouth is he not?'

We have a gentleman's agreement with a relevant public relations contractor, leading me to confidently state that a certain Mr Staleworth shall be attending the Glasgow leg of this perambulation to pen a review. I am sure that his rapier like wit can find ample target in the person of Mr Herdman.

Ten points and a bag of peanuts if you get the movie reference. |

| Re: CherryKicks Drummer becomes a Yo-Yo ... Nah, straight over my head I'm afraid. I don't like peanuts anyway, so no great loss.

| Re: CherryKicks Drummer becomes a Yo-Yo ... Looks like its to be the final 3CR tour too (from their website):
To 3 Colours Red fans:
It has become apparent there are rumours suggesting the band is to split after the upcoming UK tour. Therefore, we think it is only fair to put you all in the picture.
After a career spanning 10 years, we realise we have taken this band as far as we can, and have decided to call it a day. It is now time for us to look at other things, and to pursue different projects.
We would like to thank you, the 3 Colours Red fans for your support and dedication through all of this and look forward to getting out there one last time for what should hopefully be a great, but final UK tour.
Thank you for reading,
Keith Baxter,
Paul Grant,
Chris McCormack,
Pete Vuckovic.
3 Colours Red

| Re: CherryKicks Drummer becomes a Yo-Yo ... Shame, but they've had a good run. I had a beezer of a time last time they played Tut's.

#14 | | Guest | Re: CherryKicks Drummer becomes a Yo-Yo ... Me and Russell went down to London for the Camden show when they reformed years ago. I don't mind admitting I've been in a bit of a state now and again, but this was ten fold anything my body's ever experienced. Started on a 3 litre box of red at 6am. Slept outside King's Cross train station.
I feel we should mark their last tour with a similar ritual. | |
