New gig and break from recording
We've been holed up in the
studio for a while now so we thought we'd have a break and do a gig!
Come join us at The Gaff on Holoway Rd 13 June. We'll be performing a bunch
of new tunes too!
Check out the flyer below for more details
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Tribal and Trauma!
If you haven't already, check
out our latest live video. This one is rather special as we are treating you
to a tune that we haven't even recorded yet!... 'TRIBAL' The video was recorded
at Belushi's Bar, our home from home! So enjoy!
This video is rather poignant as it's a reminder to us that that night was
bitter/ sweet. Sweet because it was one of the best gigs we've done... bitter
because a bus ploughed into our drummer's car!

Dragnerve on the silver screen!!!
Hey all!!!!!!
HUGE NEWS!!!!! The mighty cry of WAAAAAARR with slamming metal grooves that
can ONLY be Dragnerve, is the soundtrack to horrific real life images of the
war in Iraq...yes...Dragnerve finally made it on to the silver screen, and
into the Guinness World Records at the same time!
We are proud to have our track A Life In Ashes included in the eco-docu-film
The Age of Stupid which has received huge amounts of media attention over
the last month or so.
The aim is to get 250 million people to view the film to build up for the
Copenhagen talks in December where we will get to decide the fate of humanity.
Global Warming is THE most pressing issue we will face in our lifetimes so
we suggest you get involved.
DON’T BE STUPID!

Age of Stupid goes on general release in the UK on 20th March.
