So we didn't win the Battle of the Bands but we did get through to the final so that's an achievement of sorts. On to more positive things though, we're back in the studio this weekend to record a couple of new tracks. We're also planning to do a few more later in the year once we move in to our new rehearsal rooms/studios. We'll keep you all posted on how these go and if they'll make it on to CD at some point. We've also got a couple of new gigs booked up and they're listed over there on the right.
To keep you occupied in the meantime though here's a video of part of our performance at the battle of the bands final. The tracks featured are Eyes of the Blind and All I Am, both of which we will be recording this weekend.

The Trillians Battle of the Bands is going pretty well for us this year, we're through to the Semi-Final now. The next round will be on Wednesday the 28th of May, kicking off at around 8pm. Come down to buy us a drink and congratulate us when we win, or buy as drink and give us a hug when we lose.
PS. Forget about all that name change bollocks, we're keeping it now ;)

Well we've had a couple of gigs with our new guitarist Chink [that's him 2nd from the left at the top] and also got through the first round of the Trillians Battle of the Bands. There are a couple of videos below of some live stuff.
We've also been in the studio to record a couple of tracks [If This Is It and Where It Ends] recently and you can have a listen to them on our myspace page.
One other thing we've been talking about is the name, Solus Ipse. If you think it's a good name, a bad name or have any kind of opinion on it at all just let us know. Just send your thoughts to the usual SolusIpse(at)Hotmail(dot)com address.

We've been quite busy since then and have been working hard on writing extra guitar parts and tightening up the set. If you want to see and hear some of the new material we've got some practice room videos up on youtube now. Here's one of a new song, Echo

Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone that came down to see us at Trillians last night, I think it ranks among our best gigs so far. It was great to look out and see a packed Trillians, on a Friday night, looking right back at us and cheering us on. No doubt we'll be back again some time next year.
Thanks to Kate for the photo, I'll get some more up in the photos section soon.

We're currently in talks with various studios around the area about recording our long awaited 2nd demo. This time round we'll have a bigger budget and are planning to be more ambitious with the recording. Hopefully it will be finished and ready for public consumption in the next 2 months.
