Hundred Days’ blog

After a studio move and what seems like ages we're finally back online!  In this update we have acoustic versions of two new songs: 'Suicide Joe' and 'Burn In Hell'.    We've added these to our live set, so those of you who have been to one of our gigs over the last month would have already heard these in their full plugged in glory!  For those who have yet to hear them, we hope you enjoy.

The album is finished and the launch show is all over with thanks to all that came. Both album and gig got great reviews in The Shout so thanks guys glad you liked it. Since then we enjoyed an ace gig in Stoke Sub-Hamdon after being called in by the pub at the last minute. Then it was off to the Christchurch festival where we enjoyed playing on a rare sunny afternoon. Our next stop will be back on home turf at the Orange Box Yeovil on Saturday 9^th august so see you there.  

The venue's booked, the final mixing underway, the artwork in production and worldwide online distribution is sorted.  Amazing how much stuff gets done when you have a deadline!  We will be officially launching the album and the band on May 30th just down the road at The Sparkford Inn.  Support to be confirmed so keep an eye out on our myspace and facebook pages for full details:

As we near the end of the album writing and recording process we have started going through the mixes of the tracks we have so far and make some tweaks and improvements.  The first one we've done is 'No Better' and it's now up on the myspace player: www.myspace.com/thehundreddaysrock

We'll be setting a completion date for the album soon too, what's definate is that we'll be holding a band/album launch party somewhere local when it's done...  Watch this space for details! 

We're one step closer to completing our first album.  We have now finished what could be the last track, still deciding on a final name, but something along the lines of 'Cut' or 'The Cut' seems appropriate.  It's quite a catchy tune, and is very much a candidate for the 'single' track, ie the one which goes 1st on the cd we send off for promotional purposes.  Recording for it shall begin soon, just as soon as Ryan's new drum kit is ready...  He has just bought a very big and very loud new kit.  A Premier Artist Maple series 'Rock Legend', it's vast and has a 26 inch bass drum.  Just needs some new skins and a bit of a tune up and it'll be ready to rock.  Can't wait. 

So it's been a bit quiet for us online this month.  Not that we've not been doing anything!  We now have 2 more songs on the go with a 3rd in the pipeline.  With any luck we'll have enough enough for our first album anytime soon, things are moving fast!  Gigs should be following shortly, but before we confirm anything Stu want to sort out his live kit.  Something about buying another four-by-twelve cab for one of his amps and linking the things togeth-oh no I've gone cross-eyed.  Whatever, we're assured it will sound awesome!  So, the most likely places we'll be gigging to start with will be in Bristol and Yeovil.  Until then we'll be popping down to our very own local, Woods Wine Bar to participate in the open mic night this Wednesday.  If you can make it down then great, if not then I'm sure we'll turn up there in subsequent weeks...  Open mics are a great place to get feedback about new stuff and in any case are an excuse for a few beers in the week!

Here's the second of our new songs, hot off the mixing desk!  Have a listen and leave us a comment on what you think...
