And then there were 3.....
Hey Redliners! Craig here again, hope all is well.
So I woke up at 4:30 am this morning. Not keen. I'm pretty stoked on why though. I had to mission out to Heathrow airport to meet up with a certain Mr. Nick Gregory. That's right, now 3/4 of Redline (I should actually say 3/5....) are in old Blighty! After what sounds like rather comfy if long-ass flight, Nick is here and we're about to head into the west end and get him to know his way round.
I'm sure he'll post something soon (cause I'll make him!) but I wanted to share the exciting news. Forecast for next weekend: Drinking with an 85% chance of stupidity. Here's a pic we took after he'd been in the country literally 30 minutes. I'm eating Cajun Squirrel flavour crisps. They're actually pretty good...

36 Crazyfists and Poison The Well, 13/03/09
Hey Redliners, Craig here! How's things? This is quite the epic post, so make sure you're sitting comfortably!
As Chris has mentioned, Rich and I went to see 36 Crazyfists and Poison The Well the other night in Camden's Electric Ballroom. I hadn't heard much PTW, but I was keen to see them live as everyone raves about them, and I've loved 36 Crazyfists for years, so I was stoked to finally see them live. Richard's been a big fan of Poison The Well for a long time, and has seen them a few times.
We rocked up to the show and immediately I went to the merch desk and bought myself a shirt. Gotta be done, people! I haven't told many people yet, but it was actually the first band shirt I've bought that wasn't black. Seriously, people would be frightened of this....
Anyways, we caught the tail end of opening band Gwen Stacy, they were pretty good, their drummer was really tight and had a good sound. They could have been a bit more energetic though...
Poison The Well were incredible! I'm kicking myself for not seeking out these guys sooner, but luckily they're going to be playing here again in just a couple of weeks, I think Rich and I are gonna have to go again! As I didn't really know the songs at all I kinda didn't know what was going on, but I did really enjoy it, and they were really tight. Rich was loving every minute of it though.
36 Crazyfists came on and the crowd immediately went apeshit. Rich and I were hanging back a bit as we wanted to see everything, being our first time seeing the band. They rocked through a killer set, really energetic and tight. They got a lucky fan up onstage to sing 'Destroy The Map' with them. That was a really cool moment, and I was just jealous it wasn't me! Just before 'The All Night Lights' started, Brock (36CF singer) got the crowd to split in half for a Wall Of Death. Rich and I decided we had to get in amongst it, so we lined up (a few pints in, no less!) and took part. The entire floor was a warzone and somehow I found myself right up front for their encore song 'Slit Wrist Theory.' Hells yeah....
After the set, Rich and I met up outside and cruised around the back of the venue. After a little bit, we met Ryan and Bradley from Poison The Well. As they'd just been in New Zealand and had hung out with one of our friends at home, we had a chat to them about their travels. They were really lovely dudes! Then eventually 36 Crazyfists came out, posed for a few photos, and signed some stuff. I got talking to Brock, told him the band had to go down to NZ as there's lots of fans there. He gave me his e-mail address so I can tell him good places to go. Then they decided they were going to get drinking and they invited us along. I remember spending 50 quid that I really didn't want to spend, but it was worth it for such a killer night. Rich and I ended up stumbling to his place at some ungodly hour, fried chicken in hand (gross, but at the time, so amazing!). Getting home the next day wasn't too easy, I had a bit of a limp for some reason, but we had a killer night, got some awesome pics and some amazing (if somewhat fuzzy) memories.
Whew, so there we go, a recap of our night. I think we're gonna have a quiet couple of weeks because Mr. Gregory arrives in London town in just over a week, so we're gonna have to save our cash! Will take him around the place when he's recovered from the flight and we should have some wicked pics to show y'all!
Cheers everyone! Hope you're all well and good!

Redline demo - My December Rose lyrics & audio
My December Rose
VERSE 1
it seemed like yesterday
and now its far away
that day when i met you
we used to laugh and play
nothing else could stand in our way
but now i'm missing you
PRE CHORUS
and so before i go
i just want you to know
CHORUS
if this is the end
looking back on times we shared
know i wouldn't change a thing
if this has to be
know how much you mean to me
and always in my heart you'll stay
VERSE 2
those eye i couldn't ignore
with each smile i needed more
felt so alive with you
sharing that first sunrise
my heart was racing, i felt so shy
was this to good to be true
BRIDGE
we've come a long, long way
i wish things didn't have to change
i know we've made mistakes
believe me each time i felt the heartache
don't let go my december rose
always in my heart you'll stay

Redline party up with 36 Crazyfists in London
36 Crazyfists recently toured through London. Rich and Craig got the chance to hang out and have a few drinks with the lads after their show last Friday night!
If you're lucky, perhaps Rich and Craig may post about some of their escapades that happened that night.

Redline heard on Outrageous Fortune!
I just discovered today that our 'Time After Time' music video was shown on the Outrageous Fortune tv series recently. There was a scene with a television on and the Redline music video was playing.
Just thought I'd share that little piece of info with you. Go the Westies!

New Redline songs available to listen to!
I've finally managed to upload two new song demos you can check out!
You can hear them on this site on our Reverbnation music player, visit www.myspace.com/redlinemusic or www.reverbnation.com/redlineband
Thriller - Michael Jackson cover
Some you have probably heard us play this live but until now there hasn't been a recorded version. Initially we did this song for a Halloween party we were playing and it stuck around in our live set list because we think it's a pretty cool version.
My December Rose
This is an acoustic ballad that was written in December 2008 funnily enough. It's basically about being thankful for the experience when you close the chapter on a relationship or something like that. This song is a little different from anything we've previously done as its only acoustic guitar, strings and singing.
