MID FEB UPDATE

Now that the blog is sorted out we plan to bring you fairly regular updates, so welcome to the first one!!

As we hit mid February, the band are busy booking gigs for the coming year - so far we have 2 at one of our favorite venues, the Riga Music Bar in Westcliff; and another at the Ship in Leigh during August. Currently phone calls are being made and demos sent out as usual to book more. Keep checking the

4 new songs are in preparation as well and the band is continuing their busy rehearsals schedule - and with some new merchandise available (a new t-shirt and keyrings no less!! Keep checking the shop for more details soon) 2009 looks like it could be busy. We're hoping to get the band back into the recording studio this year too, to lay down a couple of new songs for a possible EP.

Some members of Reeper have been seen guesting with different bands at various venues as well. Drummer James and Matt have been playing with Not Dead Yet, at the Cornucopia along Southend sea front on various Sunday afternoons; and Ant and 'bassy Jim' have been popping in on odd occasions too. James has also been doing some session drumming with local band The Last Superheroes occasionally. So keep an eye out - you never know where the Reeper guys are going to turn up. As for Darren, well, he's going through his Masters degree in London, so it's a busy time all round for him too.

Anyway, that's about it for now I guess - more in a couple of weeks hopefully.

Cheers for now.
