VIDEO FOOTAGE FROM THE MILL

Check out a few short clips of footage from Sundays recording session at The Mill:

PERRY LEAVES MILLIONAIRES

Some of you may have heard, unfortunately we've parted ways with our guitarist Perry Spalding. We've all loved working with Perry and his contributions to the band have been brilliant. Due to work and other commitments Perry felt he couldn't commit to the band any longer and played his final gigs last weekend. His guitar will still be heard on the new recording of Dirty Heels.

RECORDING AT THE MILL

Last weekend was busy for us. We had a gig Friday followed by 2 gigs on Saturday, 5 hours of sleep, then over to the The Mill Studio to record Dirty Heels on Sunday. There are some photos already over on facebook but keep an eye out for some video that's floating around. It should be online in the next day or so & we'll link to it here and on facebook.
