Southampton was a good show last night, and I even finally got the Roto toms into action!

Budapest tomorrow and the start of the Vicious Rumors tour for us. Looking forward to it hugely!

Awesome \m/
The taste of heavy metal barbecues.

Actually, apart from being very cool, what a great way to use the wastage of stick production

So Iron Knights just knocked off four more UK shows – which were great fun. We played Nottingham, Birkenhead, Wolverhampton and Stoke-on-Trent. The middle two were new venues, although the Wolverhampton one used to be the Little Civic, which I had played years ago with Blaze.

Good stuff all round, and we got some recording for the live EP done thanks to Steve Wray and his trusty slave Leigh Oates.

Onwards with writing tracks for Iron Knights now as we approach two more shows in the UK (Horsham and Southampton) before heading off to Europe for the Vicious Rumors tour (alongside The Order Of Chaos and PhallaX).

Also, in the meantime, laying down some drums tracks with Jay Parmar for the Exorcism album and also doing some stuff with two other mates; and excellent bassist and guitarist each.

Been getting busy at last. Iron Knights played Hammerfest, which went pretty well. Unfortunately I was playing on the provided kit, so didn’t have the full Mapex thunder, but when you’re lower on the bill it’s pretty standard to try and help the whole shebang run as smooth as possible. Anyway…the Black Panther, Paiste, Wincent, Duallist components did what they always do best! Excellent.

Was a great weekend all round, although plans to record the set had to be postponed to 13 April at Wolverhampton. Soon there are two more Welsh shows, then a few here and there before we are off to Europe with Vicious Rumors, which should be great.
