FINAL TOUR REHEARSALS TODAY + BAD NEWS ON TOUR SHIRTS

11 Jun 2023 — Leave a comment

Today we have our final rehearsal before we tour with Chris Holmes next week. We will again be focusing on the tour set and being at our absolute best for the shows. The tour begins on Friday, at The Patriot, Crumlin in South Wales on Friday. You can still buy tickets for the tour here.

We’ve had some bad luck in the run-up to the tour. The tour shirts we had printed have been delivered to an unknown location and we are desperately trying to recover them, in order to send the pre-orders out before the tour begins on Friday and ensure we had shirts to sell on the road to help us cover the costs of touring.

We’ll know if they can be recovered at all tomorrow, if not there will be a rush on to get them reprinted and out before Thursday. This has been an absolute nightmare to deal with.

Kaine will be celebrating 5 years of the Reforged line-up with a special gig, and live album recording at Three Wise Monkeys, Colchester on Friday, May 19th, 2023. Joining them will be guests Osmium Guillotine, Killerkorp, and Heathen Kings.

The current incarnations of Kaine formed in May 2018, and have since released two studio albums Reforge The Steel (2019) and After Extinction (2022) as well as the Extinction After EP (2023), Kaine EP (2021), Falling Through Freedom X EP (2022), The Waystone EP (2020) and two live albums. The band has headlined Colchester Arts Centre, opened Burrfest at a sold-out Dome in Tufnell Park as well as toured the UK in support of the legendary Lillian Axe and Riot Act in 2022. Recently the band supported NWOBHM legends Trespass and Cher/Whitesnake Guitarist Joel Hoekstra alongside Brandon Gibbs of Devil City Angels and Poison fame.

This week’s rehearsals at Unit One will be purely in preparation for May 19th. The band plans on debuting some new tracks for the event, which will be recorded for a new live album by Talon Payne of Gallow Wood Studios.

Advanced tickets for the event are still available here.

ITS REHEARSAL TIME OF THE WEEK AGAIN!

19 Mar 2023 — Leave a comment

We’re back at Unit One Studio’s Colchester again tonight for our weekly rehearsal sessions. We will be again focussing on our forthcoming gig at the Music Room, Ipswich supporting Joel Hoekstra and Brandon Gibbs.

Joel Hoekstra is best known as the guitarist for “Whitesnake” and “Trans Siberian Orchestra” along with a long list of other bands and projects he has worked with including Cher and Night Ranger. Impeccable guitar soloing and blazing riffs, Joel Hoekstra is without a doubt a guitar legend and one of top guitarists in the world.


Brandon Gibbs is not only the front man for the super group “Devil City Angels” but also joined Poison in 2022 on the Def Leppard/Motley Crue Stadium Tour utilizing his searing voice on backup vocals. Brandon Gibbs is also known for his blues/rock style of guitar playing and his riveting songwriting.


Joel Hoekstra and Brandon Gibbs duo is considered by many to be one of the best acoustic duos performing today. Expect a high energy show with blazing guitar riffs, storytelling, incredible vocal harmonies and a song selection of music from bands they have each been a part of, originals and rock covers making this a must-see show!

The Patreon CD templates are close to being finalised and set off to the printers, as are the shirts/patches for 2022. We are sorry for the delay, which has been caused by keeping an eye on the budget as well as the band being very busy in other areas, however, they will be with you soon!
