Updates and Recent Giggage
Posted by Sharny on February 6, 2010
Howdy everyone. A few updates from us here at Opium Toad. First of all we're now registered on Reverbnation. This was mainly so we could use their widget to put up some tracks on the website. If you head over to the music page then you'll be able to listen to one of our songs, Lying Awake. Others are available on the myspace but unfortunately Reverbnation has quite a low storage limit so I'm going to have to get around that to upload the rest of our tracks, possibly by sacrificing a bit of quality.
I know I've been promising an EP for quite a while but with any luck that is going to be our focus now, we have four songs, easily enough to get an EP down, we're just looking at different studios and possibilities at the moment.
Earlier this week we played down at the Maze in Nottingham. Great times as always. We are as always open to any chances to play live, drop us a message anywhere you like if you're interested.
That's it for now, here's hoping we get that EP sorted soon as that's when things really kick off...I hope...
Merry Christmas/New Year and Facebook Page
Posted by Sharny on December 31, 2009
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Opium Toad.
More importantly, we've finally made ourself a Facebook page which is probably something we should have done a while ago since no one actually uses myspace for anything other than music promotion. No one who values their eyesight anyway.
Currently we've not got anything booked for January but we'd like to have, get in touch over on the gigs page for contact details. If we're not playing however we're going to be writing, at least as soon as our drummer gets back from Norway.
Till next time, enjoy the festive season.
A fun evening at the Admiral Rodney
Posted by Sharny on November 10, 2009
Sunday was our first gig with the current line up, thanks to everyone who made it down, we hope you had a good time. We definitely enjoyed it and it was great to get back out there. The only downer on the occasion was Code:68's last minute drop out due to their drummer leaving them, we wish them the best at finding someone new and hopefully they'll be back on gigging form soon so we can check them out as well.
We're keen to keep up the performing so if you're in need of a band for just about anything in the Nottingham area give us a shout via the gigs page or via our myspace. In the meantime we're back to writing and we've got a lot to be working on so expect new stuff appearing in the coming months.
November Giggage
Posted by Sharny on October 21, 2009
So as it stands right now we're going to playing our first gig with current line up on the 8th of November at the Admiral Rodney Pub in Southwell. We're gonna be playing alongside The Wicked End, Solution Against and Code:68. It should be a fun and relaxed Sunday evening show. Hopefully we'll see some of you out there.
More demo action
Posted by Sharny on October 5, 2009
Yep, we've got some more tunage up on the myspace in the form of Honour, Glory, Death. It's a very different song to our others up there, just to confuse you guys even more to what we're doing. We have actually settled more on a feel but since this song was already finished we decided to record it and get it out there, just to show that we're capable of spanning our genre even more than is necessary...
Enjoy it, we've got more songs coming up and soon our first gigs with the current line up which will be up here once confirmed.
