| Hey guys, we thought we would update you on our latest trip to the Malta Rock Festival. We recently travelled to Malta where we played to thousands at the annual Malta Rock Festival and mixed with classic rock ‘n’ rollers, Gerry and the Pacemakers. The event, held at Ta‘ Qali National Park over August 7-9, was attended by thousands of rock fans who saw an exclusive showcase of a selection of our new tracks from our forthcoming debut album, due out this autumn. Malta Rock was held in an amphitheatre in the village of Ta’ Qali – a different type of atmosphere to what we’re used to in Scotland – and we felt the show went down really well, despite the sweltering heat! The organisers had us staying in a five-star luxury Hotel about 15 minutes drive from the festival itself. We were staying alongside all the international acts and representatives involved which gave us a great opportunity to meet the other bands and connect with important people. The first night was a more 60/70s based rock ’n’ roll with British legends Gerry and the Peacemakers headlining. They really got the crowd involved and were very professional, what you’d expect from a band with so much experience. Next was the rock night on Saturday, which we played at. The sound check went well in the afternoon, although the heat was intense to say the least - especially for us Scots. By night the heat had dropped, allowing us to really put on a show and perform at our best. “With an attendance of thousands, the crowd warmed to us from our very first song. We played some brand new tracks from our soon to be released debut album. It really gave us a buzz to see the reaction we received for our music and stage show. Hearing the audience call for an encore at the end was really the icing on the cake. Some photos of the gig will be up on the site soon for you all to see. We will keep you up-to-date with any other news over coming weeks and watch this space for details of our forthcoming debut album. Estrella | ||||

| Estrella Update! | Il y a 280 jours | |||
| Hey, It has been a while since our last news update so we thought we’d drop a post and let everyone know what we have been getting up to and the future plans for the coming year. For the past few months we have been working on developing new songs while revamping a few old ones and we are aiming to record our debut album over the next few months. At the moment we have a good selection of songs and ideas floating around with more in the writing process. The plan is to have around 20 songs we can work through to ensure we produce the best album possible. Once the album is finished, we will be looking to get ourselves out on the road to help promote our music. No dates have been set as of yet but we will keep you posted. We are in the process of designing a whole new web site, which we look to launch in the next few months. We will keep this regularly updated with news of our recording progress and upcoming gigs. Till then, keep it easy Estrella | ||||

| Hey, thanks to everyone who came along last night to the gig in Cellar 35. As always the atmosphere was amazing and everyone really enjoyed them selves. We broke the first few songs right down to acoustic guitars and hand percussion, later adding some drums and electric guitar to the set up which proved to be a nice dynamic. Some of our brand new tracks were played exclusively for Cellar35, which seemed to go down great. Towards the end of the set we played a 70s classic by Free “All Right Now”, we would like to give a big hand to everyone who was dancing and singing along! Really ended the night on a high. Watch this space for a future gigs in Cellar35! | ||||

| UCAN Pants Walk | Il y a 544 jours | |||
| Participants of this year’s UCAN Pants Walk did their THONG for urological cancers whilst Estrella, along with Outbox, provided live music throughout the afternoon. The walk, held in Aberdeen’s Duthie Park on Sunday 18 May 2008, helped raise awareness of testicular, prostate, kidney and bladder cancer in the North East along with a staggering £10,000 in donations. The Pants Walk took its inspiration from Breast Cancer's 'Moon Walk', which is now a popular campaign whereby hundreds sport their bras to raise money for Breast Cancer. The second UCAN Pants Walk saw an increase in popularity and UCAN hope that awareness will grow to the same extent as breast cancer. UCAN asked people to support the charity and sport their “decorated” pants, to highlight the alarming prevalence of Urological Cancers, whilst completing as many laps as possible of the Duthie Park. Estrella will also be playing a gig at Lossiemouth High School, on July 4th on behalf of the UCAN Charity. For further information on UCAN please click: www.ucanhelp.org.uk | ||||
