April Update

Hi Everyone

It's been a while since the last update so I thought I'd better get right on it and give you the latest news about what's going on with the band....

Things are moving ahead nicely with those new songs ready to go now, after some fairly serious rehearsals. The new original song is a bit tricky, but as you know Reeper don't give up in the face of adversity, and they've kept plugging away at it until now, at last, it's ready for you to hear.

The next gig is approaching fast, but more on that later. First, huge thanks if you came along to supprt the band at O'Neill's in Southend. We had some technical problems with PA, but the night was a great success and a large crowd stayed on to dance the night away to two sets of the band's favorites - in spite of it being Comic Relief night. The pub seemed pleased, the booker was happy, we were delighted but more importanly the crowd liked it too! Looks like we might hopefully be making a return visit sometime soon - keep checking the gig guide for details.

So on to the next gig - it's at Riga Music Bar in Westcliff on Thursday 30th April, where Reeper are headlining with support from the Last SuperHeroes. The 2 bands have known each other for a while so it'll be good to get them on the same bill at last! It should be a blistering night, and at £5 what better value could you get on a Thursday night?! Please come down and see us - you won't be disappointed, and there are those new songs getting their first airing.....

Talking of gigs.....Reeper have just been confirmed as support for Eddie and the Hot Rods no less at Riga on Friday 18th December. So it'll be two nights on the trot at Riga for the band, with our own Christmas Party night on the 17th. Get those dates in your diary now!

Some nice new flyers have been printed up - they'll be available at the Riga gig next week. They're a really nice memento of the band so come and grab yours and be one of the first!

Finally, we should mention that drummer James is now teaching drums at Allegro Music in Westcliff - so if you've ever wanted to pound out some beats just like the man himself, now you know how you can get in touch!

I guess that's about it for now - more after the Riga gig. Hope to see you there - keep rocking, and keep it Reeper!

See you out there.
