Aussie band Project Winterhaven have a new website. For those of you who don’t know, PWH are the band fronted by Crimea lead guitarist Julz Parker, her brother Joe on bass and Gold Coast Rock Award winner Chubby Winterhaven on drums. Get over to www.projectwinterhaven.com for the new site, new photos, new mp3s and general new newishness.
The Steophonics have sacked their drummer Stuart Cable as he’s been spending too much time doing other things such as Cable TV, which the Crimea featured on earlier in the year. Hopefully they don’t sign up Owen again as they did when Cable pulled out of their tour of Japan.
Aber band The Keys have a new self titled album coming out very soon, and as I write a track from the album is being played on Radio 1. They also have some gigs coming up in early October so check their website www.thekeysmusic.co.uk for more details.
And by the looks of it this is very old new, but it’s brand new to me so… Ex Llama Farmers singer Bernie Simpson has a new band (who by now have probably split up too). They’re called Vizzini and er.. that’s about it.
If anyone would like to contribute some news or, even better, help me out with the site, get in touch with me at christopher@inaudible.co.uk. People with an interest in the band, time to spare and enough knowledge to cope with some roughly put together HTML would be good, but frankly, any nutter’ll do.

Evening, just a quick one for everyone at a loose end tonight. Please tune into Adam Walton’s Radio Wales show cos he’s a big fan of the band and he just played possible new single Fred Flintstone. Woohoo.
There’s three Crimea related gigs lined up for the rest of the month. The first is at London’s Astoria supporting Dashboard Confessional. The second at England’s answer to the Burning Man festival, only with less sand and naked people and much more music, provided by the likes of The Levellers, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry and others. The Beautiful Days Festival takes place in Devon in exactly two weeks time. The third gig is a solo Kernal Krok acoustic at the Toucan Club in Cardiff, where Davey will be showing the world what he can do without four extra nutters behind him. As always, check the gigs page for more details.
And next week the band will be hard at work creating their next masterpiece. The single is currently due to be released around early October.
