Fourteen

Flash is getting to my head so I'm letting my brain breathe with bad music and blogging.
So the weekend of the 18th, 19th and 20th saw us recording 3 tracks at Audio Ransom studios up in JHB with friend/hero Staab from Conqueror/The Dead Will Tell.
We recorded Leeches, Prisons and Nervous Wreck, all of which we've been playing in our live set at recent shows. The recordings are (finally) going to be actually put to use this time and will be on the first ever official GGB release, a 3 track split with Conqueror due out late 2009/early 2010. It's been a insanely long time coming so thanks for all the patience. When we have more info we will update as such.
Otherwise the other big news in GGB land is, of course, the Lionheart tour which see's us playing with New Found Disorder, Reason To Live, Crossingpoint, Conqueror and of course Bay area hardcore band, Lionheart at Burn nightclub on the 27th of November. Entrance is something stupid like R40 so anyone into good heavy music pull in.
Lastly, of late we've somewhat slowed down our gigging of late for valid reasons. Basically we've been writing and working on new songs over the past few months and although we're definitely making progress we've still got a way to go if we want to have an albums worth of material! So if you're wondering what the fuck is up with ole GGB, it's probably that we're arguing in a room somewhere in Queensburgh whether that riff is good enough. Our confirmed show list for the rest of the year is pretty much only the Burn show on the 27th and then for 2010 it's The Camp festival up in Jagfontein. When the split with Conqueror comes out we'll definitely be doing a tour down Cape Town/PE/JHB/Bloem way but since nothing is confirmed I don't want to mention dates, etc. Our biggest focus right now is to write the best stuff we can possibly write and then start demo'ing and figuring out the recording process, once that's all done we'll be back on the gig horse in the blink of an eye.

Anyway this bad music is now starting to hurt me so keep young and hopeless.

Ok, so, you know how we said a whole bunch a while ago about recording stuff and an album and all that nonsense?

Well, it's still a load of nonsense. We're not recording an album yet.

We ARE, however, making the familiar trek to Joburg on Thursday to start recording for our split release with thrash-metalers Conqueror.

Expect darkness, and a whole host of new inside jokes.

Also, if you don't already know, we're playing this Wednesday with Crossingpoint and Show and Tell at the trusty Winston pub. 20 bucks sees you through the door.

Bring your party pants.
