The Tunnels - 16th February
Our first gig of 2008 was a pretty low-key affair at the Tunnels. We hadn't practised for literally 2 months til that very day, so you can't grumble with the overall performance. In a bit of a stramash of a gig, we played alongside indie-poppers and fellow Foyer-botherers The Condiments, punk-pop band Valentine and a heavy metal act that I never caught the name of. The big mix of genres worked better than anyone expected I think, and we raised plenty of money for either the British Heart Foundation or the Medics Having Fun Society... :-)
7 oldish favourites were shown the light of day, but there is new material in the pipeline for our gigs in March and beyond.

Cafe Drummonds
Ah, another night at Aberdeen's favourite Cafe that isn't remotely a Cafe, Drummonds.
We needed a confidence booster after the slightly shambolic Wizard show and we got it.
Arguably our best gig so far, playing 7 tracks including a couple of new ones - the cunningly entitled "New" and the very nice "Release", both of which are destined for our album.
We even made some new friends, especially the Australian guy who rated us something rotten!
Thanks to everyone who came out to see us, hope y'all enjoyed yourselves.0 Comments 795 days

Wizard Festival
Err.. we weren't great. Struggling to find a guitar that could hold its tuning, the first couple of songs were shaky to say the least.
We ralleighed though, and managed to finish off quite strongly.
Still, it was a nice wee experience and hopefully next year, we'll have done enough to merit a spot on the Banshee Stage!
A wee note on our performance from Waves Fm -
"Amplified Battle of the Bands finalists Headlight took to the stage at around 7.15pm, and although their set was marred by technical difficulty, the equipment behaved long enough for the New Deer four-piece to showcase exactly what they’re capable of, even allowing keyboard player Fraser Will to break out the bassoon on one track. Their finest moment came in closing track Rise and Fall, with a sterling vocal performance from frontman Ewan Donald. Their Half Truth EP is out now, and with an album due at the end of the year, Headlight could yet prove to be a name to watch in the local scene and beyond."

The idea of monday is certainly being kicked around. We shall see. I do hope I can manage. I'm back in Peterhead for Easter from tomorrow but Coops and I have suggested going back for the occasion!
Alright lads! How do? Think we are playing with you guys at the Fraserburgh gig organised by North East Rock.
Looking forward to it!
Bad news guys!!
Sorry to say this but we have to pull out of the gig on the 21st! our singer has come down with a bad throat infection and will be out of action.
We are gutted, and hope that your not effected by this too much! we will still come along and watch you guys play tho!
Sorry again
