Come and get drowned in the maelstrom of spring reverb! Gretsches! Jaguars! Beer! Cheap burgers!

That's the one it came with, which is a Fender Coronado pickup. Kind of like a brighter P-90. Quite cool actually... but it's destined for something with Tron in the name.

The guitar was excellent! Sounded awesome.

We've been working on some recordings, but it's not a quick process with all of us having pretty full-on full-time jobs. The one we have completed is actually for a TV show that I'm working on and can't be shared until the show airs.

However, we did (finally) get some Go-Pro footage last night, so I'll try to get a bit of that happening when I get a chance. Hopefully later this week.

Would love to hear it. There're some rumours floating around that you guys are actually a hipster Metallica cover band, so it'd be wise to put those rumours to rest!

Due in no small part to your help...

It made quite a change from the Anniversary. Each one has their place, but this was a raucous gig that needed clubbing to death with something that looks like a Klingon weapon.
