10 October 2007 - Look its the New Guy!

Administrator — 10/10/2007 6:22:39 PM

For the past couple of months we’ve been secretly preparing for Ross “Slappy” Pickford’s departure from his bass playing duties within Shy Guevaras.

Ross went out and made ANOTHER baby. Like they say, you can’t keep a good thing down. Ok, maybe too much information. Anyway, Ross and V are now the proud parents of a beautiful boy they’ve named Sean.

We are really sad not to have Slappy on stage with us anymore, but we haven’t lost him completely. With the recent successes of the band, we are in desperate need of, for lack of a better title, an Office Manager. Being the most responsible person we know, Ross is ideal for the job.

Justin “Bifty” Barnard is the newest Guevara. He started joining the four of us at rehearsals, getting up to speed with the groves, licks and heavy sections (YES!!!).

Within no time, Bifty was up to speed and adding some of his own flair to our powerful show. He played his first show with us up at the Hermanus Festival two weeks ago, and then a week ago at the Rocking the Daisies Festival in Darling. Two really big shows to cut your teeth on. And boy did he deliver!

The inspiration soon followed and at the last 2 rehearsal we’ve written a brand new track which hits you right in the scrotum… We’re playing it for the first time this Friday at ROAR (Gandalfs) in Observatory… Would be great to see you all there…

What a great show last month at Corner Bar!! I had no idea it was such an awesome little spot – great music – great people – I was pleasantly surprised bumping into an old mate of mine Robin who turned out to be the sound engineer for the night! Looking forward to playing there again...
