Review from Saturday

Never normally post these sort of things, but I thought it was a nice little review from the Bournemouth Gardens gig on Saturday.

"Bournemouth gardens was buzzing as an event organised under the name "The Takeover" meant local musicians were given an opportunity to play live in front of a reasonably large audience. One band in particular that stood out were "The Metropolise" an alternative indie band that look good and sound awesome. The band had been hyped up due to this being their comeback show and a preview of their new sound. Despite some sound problems the songs were up beat, dancey and perfect to tap your foot to. The band also communicated confidently with the audience making jokes and introducing their songs. I am looking forward to hearing the bands E.P which is due out soon and if you haven't seen them they have a gig with friend/musician Zac Harris on the 3rd of May at The Winchester."

Thank you to Stalky for that one.

1 down...

1 more to go before folk festival! yesterday was fun... not gonna go into how pissed off we were with the organisers, they probably thought we were a bunch of amateur pre-madonnas but whatever... was nice to see a lot of people there yesterday and best of all it was good to finally get these new songs out there after working hard and long on them. hope you're all digging them, and they will become a lot clearer to you at future shows. The Winchester show is may 3rd still, and we're still playing with Zac Harris and his band, along with two bands from Tokyo (sunset drive + natccu) and a london/bournemouth folk act under the name of oh dreamland. it's free entry and we'll be on kinda latish i'm guessing due to closing the show, which is cool.

thanks again everyone and hopefully see you soon

Hey everyone,

So the brand new set is coming along nicely. We went into the rehearsal room today and sorted it out, and I'm pleased to say it's almost there, with about 7/8 songs done. Our comeback show is on the 24th of April (which is a Saturday), so make sure you come along! If you're working, then book it off and have a lovely day out in Bournemouth Gardens instead! We're playing the Band Stand so hopefully the weather will stay nice and it won't be called off! James McVey is also playing so it should be a good day, he's got a full band with him as well so should be a nice little set.

Anyways, that's all for now,
Mike xz
