Anyone here using soundcloud yet? If not why not.. it's class!!! plus there is an iphone app for it... Lots of wicked bands and music on there (not just unsigned stuff btw, it's where i first heard the new deftones tracks)

Anyway... it will be the first place to premier the new FGH tracks this coming monday so go there and add us...

Also get yourself down to Kings Cross water rats on 31st to watch us support the awesome prog-metaltastic 'Kyrbgrinder' We will be airing at least one brand new song if not two! Thats worth the entry price alone me thinks?

One final thing, We will be appearing live in studio on totalrock.com this coming monday to promote said show. We will also be talking about our new recordings as well as playing them, thats something not to miss!!!

ONE MORE FINAL THING (i lied the first time!) We are on the cover mount of this months 'CLASSIC ROCK PRESENTS: PROG' there is an hours worth of new music on the CD which is worth the price alone but to add salt to the chips ELP are on the front cover... Now thats a deal maker no?

Support this great mag and pick up your copy available at all good newsagents nationwide!!

All the best,

***Recording and a few quick words about the legend Dio***

Sad to hear about Dio today...

First Pete now Dio. Paul made a good comment... some thing along the lines of "it's what happens when you get older, your idols start dying". Unfortunately i find him morbidly right. It's just sad that we are another man down due to cancer. There has to be a cure out there somewhere right?

Really, REALLY excited about recording this week. I think it will have to be in tribute to all those music greats that have lost their lives. Just my way of showing that their inspiration lives on and whilst my/our music is not directly influenced by Dio's sound i am a fan and i feel inspired by any great musician.

Camping outside the studio with the rest of the FGH lads is going to be pretty epic, expect pictures... LOTS of them. Looking forward to seeing Nick (producer/technician/sound man/ all around awesome guy) He gets us and knows how to make us sound exactly how we want.

I will most probably blog whilst i am away but probably more likely will be constant twitter updates and video clips etc... So stay tuned!!!

Peace and love,
