Hand of Doom, Valhalla (Wellington), Sat 6 August

Post by Darth Sabbathi »

Friends, this Saturday sees the launch of my new Black Sabbath covers band, Hand of Doom. Oddly enough, despite playing in bands for over 20 years, this is the first gig I have actually organised and promoted myself - I usually just turn up and play... So yeah, I really want to get a good crowd in. Which is to say, come you bastards! If you PM and ask nicely I might even get you a +1 on the door... Alternatively, tickets available here:

You can indeed. Jason packed it in. I initially asked him if he would mind if I carried on under that name, and while he kind of agreed, he wanted to hold on to the facebook admin rights, and reserved the right to play if and when he felt like it. Too many strings for me, so I decided to start afresh.

If additional incentive is required, this will be an opportunity to hear a '64 Gibson SG Junior played through a '69 Marshall JMP 50. Much righteousness to be behold! The venue even has even been relic'd and made to smell just like 1973. As good as a time machine...

Certainly part of the plan at some stage - hopefully this summer. If not this band then Black Knight (the Deep Purple one). I will of course announce such an event on these pages. Loudly. :wink:

Valhalla...there's an old name...I think? I recall seeing them eons ago.

Family trip to the ruggers I'm afraid, I will be required to go home with them afterwards. :(

Hoping for a pass in a couple of weeks though.
