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!

REHEARSALS RESUME AT UNIT ONE TODAY – PREPARATIONS FOR TWO BIG GIGS AND UK TOUR BEGIN

19 Feb 2023 — Leave a comment
Our last sessions a few weeks back

We have a big year coming up with several important shows to prepare for. Rehearsals as ever will be taking place tonight at Unit One, Colchester.

The first of these is supporting current Whitesnake guitarist Joel Hoekstra, and Brandon Gibbs at The Music Room, Ipswich on April 15th. 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. With impeccable guitar soloing and blazing riffs, Joel Hoekstra is without a doubt a guitar legend and one of the top guitarists in the world. Brandon Gibbs is not only the frontman for the supergroup “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 song writing.

On May 19th we celebrate 5 years of Kaine in its current form coming together at Three Wise Monkeys, Colchester alongside our friends in Osmium Guillotine, Draugrheim, and Killerkorp. This gig will be recorded for a live album/video.

Finally, as announced, we’ll be touring again in June, this time in support of the legendary W.A.S.P Guitarist Chris Holmes.  We’ll be playing several dates across Wales, Scotland, and England as seen below.

We are back at Unit One Studios for the first time in 2023 today. We will be having a refresh session as well as working on our set for our gig at the Hot Box in Chelmsford on January 19th. You can buy tickets in advance from here and Band Backer Patreon’s can attend the gig for free by clicking here. The footage of today’s session will be uploaded onto YouTube next week.

Mixing and editing has been completed for the Extinction After EP. This EP includes 5 brand new songs, not on our most recent album, and was recorded by Wayne Thompson at Unit One Studio’s last year.

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.
