Its not often you see a line up like that in Belfast, also we'll be playing 2 brand new songs, never before heard outside our rehearsal space, be the first. You could say I was there when The Bonnevilles played those 2 awful songs.... haha, hope not.

GASOLINE RECORDS COMPILATIONS
A while ago a nice man from Gasoline Records in El Segundo, California got in touch with us about contributing a couple of tracks to some killer compilations he was putting together. Thrilled to bits, we agreed and just a week or so ago we received a lovely box of CDs from the USA with copies of the comps.

Entitled "The Sounds of Gasoline" each volume contains some killer stuff. Rock n Roll, Blues, even alt country and of course yours truly. If you fancy something that you'll be hard pressed to find in HMV I reckon you should try these. They're full of rock solid musical bombs and with 21 tracks for £9.99 plus £1 postage worldwide its got to be worth a punt.

BANDWIDTH FILMS
The very, very talented folks at Bandwidth have asked to film us for their In-Stores series, where they film bands in unusual places and stripped way down, in our case its looking like in a butchers shop in Belfast. This looks like its going to be happening on Thursday the 28th of Jan, next Thursday before our gig in Aunt Annies. If you want to come down and have a nosey and maybe even get your facog on celluloid, we'll give you location as soon as we know it, it would be great to see a few faces. we're going to be playing another brand new song called "Hell".

Finally we got ourselves a new Tee shirt, available on pre-order, we're only picking these up in Scotland on the 11th of Feb so if you want to buy one we'll post it immediately when we return home.

They've got the very very cool design by Ben Lyons featuring the The Bonnevilles mascot Blackbeards Jolly Roger. It will make you look cooler than you do already. They are heavyweight Fruit of the Loom tees and available in any colour you want as long as its black, £11 & £1 postage. Check them out on our website. http://www.thebonnevilles.net

Thats all she wrote friends, hopefully we'll see you at a gig soon. Take care of yourselves and each other, this cruel cruel world is better because your in it.
