BACK TO REHEARSAL TODAY – FIRE DOWN UNDER TOUR STARTS THIS MONTH!

3 Sep 2023 — Leave a comment

After yesterday’s Mearfest appearance at The Queens Hall, Nuneaton, we are back to rehearsal today. The focus today will be preparation for the forthcoming tour with Riot Act. Riot Act will be playing the entirety of the legendary Riot album Fire Down Under on this tour, and we’re really looking forward to hitting the road with them later this month. We are aiming to be in top playing condition for these shows!

Mearfest went well for us also, many thanks to Stevo for jumping on and filling in for Isaac yesterday. We think we got away with it! This was Stevo’s first appearance with the band for 5 years, and he had never played any of these songs live with us before, so we are thankful for his efforts to learn the music and help us out with this one.

We will be having a bumper rehearsal session today at Unit One Studios ahead of Mearfest next week.

Mearfest is the first Kaine gig since our return from the Chris Holmes Mean Man Tour in June.

The new Extinction England shirts will also be available to purchase at Mearfest. These will be £20 on the day, or if ordered in advance from Bandcamp just £15 from here.

REHEARSALS TODAY – PREP FOR MEARFEST FLAME & FIRE DOWN UNDER TOUR

Last weeks rehearsal sessions.

Today we are having our second rehearsal following our successful tour with Chris Holmes. Last week (as seen above) we focused on rehearsing the songs we didn’t do on the tour and writing new material for a future release.

Today we head back into Unit One again for more rehearsals, we’ll be working on our set for Mearfest Flame in Nuneaton in September, and then our second tour of 2023 with Riot Act, who will be playing the entire Riot classic album Fire Down Under in full during the tour.

Tickets fore the Fire Down Under Tour are already selling well, with London already 20% sold months in advance of the show. If you wish to attend these shows, we advise you to book well in advance from here. Our last show at Three Wise Monkeys for example sold out in advance, and there were people who could not get into the venue on the night.

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.
