Unit One Studio’s

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!

12 Mar 2023 — Leave a comment

We are continuing to work on our sets for the forthcoming gigs/tour today. We have recently prioritised learning three of the recent EP songs to include those in future sets. Our next gig is at the Music Room, Ipswich (see details below).

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!

Once the final tracks go back, both Patreon CD releases will go to the printers alongside the Falling Through Freedom 10th anniversary patch and t-shirt. We are sorry about the delay. Once this is completed an announcement for the 2023 Patreon pack will be made, and this will be a very special release.
