I wasn't to upset about the sunnies comment. In fact, I went through a phase where the comments inspired me to wear sunglasses at every gig until one in Taupo where an opinionated young lady said for me to take them off as I had beautiful eyes...

Isn't that nice : )

Ok - Maybe I was a little upset at first...

But now I am fine.

Marlon - no a friends band did not get beaten by Esra Dekan. In fact, I don't have any friends. And to eveyone else, what's wrong with me baggin' someone? Sunglasses at night may be known as a "performance tool" but my comments are called "criticism". No one from Esra Dekan seemed to give a rats about my comments, that's the main thing, if you can't laugh at yourself then you may as well give up on music. To those softies I may have offended, get over it!

Poenamo Live and local gig cancelled - 29th April

Regretfully, the Live and Local gig scheduled for this Thursday 29th April has been cancelled by the venue according to the promoter.

Sorry to all those who pre-bought your tickets, we'll be in touch soon with your refunds. Just another example of the lack of professionalism that continues to dog our music industry at grassroots level I'm afraid.

See you all soon.

Well, I wouldn't want him to be my teacher. Not only is he bossy, but he wears cheap aftershave. As for his music, well, you can only judge for yourself.

Hi guys,

Awesome to see your stuff on the music sites. Have already bought my copy of the CD and it is getting thrashed. LOVE all the songs on it - you guys just get better and better.
Looking forward to the gig on Friday nite as always. Sorry I missed the Empire - I hear it was another spectacular nite. Will be fantastic to hear some more of the originals - your covers are amazing but I do love your originals.
Saw the comment from that idiot Adrian0476, obviously not a musical bone in his body. It's no wonder he can't crack it in the music industry. It's nice to see a band who actually look like they are enjoying being on stage and performing.
Anyway it feels very professional to be writing to you on a website.
See ya on Friday nite! (yes I am giving up the 1 day cricket for you lads!)
Love Kirsty J

Esra Dekan will be celebrating the launch of their 13-track CD "Studio Sessions" with a gig at Devonport's Masonic Tavern on Friday, 13th February.

Recorded at York Street Studios, the tracks were originally intended for demo use only and were performed as one-takers in full band set-up.

Wary about calling this their first "album", the quality of sound and live energy captured encouraged the band to make "Studio Sessions" their first foray into album length CD release. The disc includes "All Right" which has had airplay on JuiceTV, RTR and C4 since it's release in November.

HI there. I AM THE BASS PLAYER. I would like to say that the sunnies thing is just fun but if anyone wants to take it as arrogant then thats funny, cos frick i am not arrogant. Hey ya is a great song. We play it well, but I will let you in on the little secret that we enjoy so that is cool. But hey, ya, it is our aboriginl music that we will be known for shortly. Trust me : )

Actually the album will not be called "York St Sessions" - it'll be called something else. Thats just where it was recorded.
