.

its quite a busy time at erics towers at the moment with sam and the MOJO boys putting on a sterling performance at the LION CAS last sat in the company of many of the areas top musos, fans and CRUSH and BSD

.

.

.

then sunday saw paul dipping his feet in waters new when he did his first gig for leeds based roxy music tribute ROXYRAMA, a great bunch of lads who deliver the roxy sound to a tee

.

the gig was a charity do over in hull with some brilliant bands on the bill (dint get their names though) and ROXYRAMA were on second from last

.

paul did a great job with no visible nerves, he may have felt a bit more at home and relaxed as our very own sam eric was standing in on guitar duties so obviously all the girlies were concentrating on him!

.

a great night and the band went down really well with the locals

.

.

.

i must mention the final band who of the night who were David Bowee (can you guess who they were a tribute to then?) these were a great band playing a good selection of bowie classics including loads of the older (BETTER) stuff and a show that was very visual, mr bowee even had three costume changes

.

.

.

there are no erics gigs now until fri 15th aug when we'll be down at the NEW ROSCOE LEEDS, which we're really looking forward to as its always a cracking night

.

.

but before then sam and the MOJO lads have got a few lined up including the cross keys morley on sat 2nd aug where they will be trying out the stregnth of the new stage before BSD is allowed to jump about on it

.

.

.

and the weekend after on sun 10th aug BSD will be playing his first gig with HEAVY LOAD at the lion in cas (7pm)

.

he will probbly be wearing long trousers for a change, tucked into his boots for when the brown adrenalin kicks in

.

.

.

and now lastly (told you it were a long un)

.

our very good freind tommy of TOMMY's BAR (NEW INN WALTON) has just set up a myspace called turtlegigs with the help of linda blue

.

it has been well documented in these pages (?) that tommy is one of the nicest guys the band has had the pleasure to meet in our 11 years together and we've had some great times with him at his boozer and also at the gigs hes come to see us at

.

so log onto turtlegigs to check out whos playing there and add him as a mate

.

.

.

thats it!

.

but if you're stuck for a band this upcoming weekend, erics buds RESURGANCE (with two e's) will be playing at the arkle morley this fri 25th july

,

the only other band to look better than us in fishnets
