Hey K-Fans aint said much in a while, and in news well we are gainign a bit of momentum with some gigs hopefully being arranged soon, so depsite our painfully young years we might be starting to spread the wings of rock a bit ( like an angel of retribution lol jack) . anyway we've made sum cool new songs and hopefully we should get to record them soon which will rock. in personal news i got my d**n ass long clump of hair cut and i look kinda different lol I been listening to these albums recently Bloc Party - Silent Alarm Queens Of The Stone Age - Lullabies To Paralyze Kaiser Chiefs - Employment The Clash- London Calling Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible My Vitriol - Finelines The Killers - Hot Fuss The Futureheads- The Futureheads and Metallica - Master Of Puppets yup there is quite a mixture of styles there lol and im thinkin that is showing just one of the bands tastes all 4 of us have surprisingly varied tastes, thats probs why not one of our songs sounds like another one! VIVA ECLECTISM!! I will Post again soon l8z

Hi every1 another update from the quiet one, in band news, we've started taking everything more seriously, the music is already sounding a lot better and we have revamped 3 songs so far and we expect to cut a lot of songs out of our repetoire as the Katharsis quality control starts to get tougher, You shall know us, bubble gun and Not That have been refreshed and the lyrics to not that are gonna be redrafted after we realised tht i screwed up old school when i wrote those, On the whole band is seeming a lot more positive and we're not as complacent, hopefully by the summer we'll be a force lol
Bye every1

Hi every1 hopin you are ok! me mark and jack have written two songs both of which are fantastic and show a different sound developing in the music, ive written the first draft of lyrics to one of the songs and succesfully worked out the vocal melodies, so once ive finallised the lyrics its time to teach mark the melodies and then work on the other song lol

Hey its been a while, hope you are all ok just to let you all know we've found a rehersal space where we can eventually record the album in the mean time im gonna keep u up to date on the songs we have most recently made.
A.W.O.L - Almost futuristic effects laden song Zero 1 - Our metal Epic contender for new gig opener The Itch - Hypnotic wall of noise The Smiths - Our most phycotic song to date, and thats saying a lot!
that plus The surviviors of our huge back catalogue killing off thing which saw Alien, All Is In, Random Generator join the likes of Marble, Pockethingych and Breakdown in the scrap heap, so inaddition to the new 4 we have You Shall Know Us, Bubble Gun, Elektra and Antimony
After this new four are done we are gonna make bout 4 more then start thinking bout an album
L8rz K Fans

More new songs!
We have two new songs to talk about!
Change In You: This one is complete its got an infectious rhythm which makes it our most danceable song ever
Dorian Grey: The slowest saddest song since All Is In but this is far better with its destructive chorus and heart wrenching verses, this is almost finished jakc is just tweaking the bassline
We are really looking forward to gigging this wealth of new material.
See ya in the pit.

Well well well the boys dun good, Katharsis won frien barnets battle of the bands it was an amazing night for us and well it couldn't of been better. the competition was tough and the other bands were great, Glass eye - were an eclectic band of 6 21-24 year olds who were sounding great, Level headers were awesome they were only 15 and did amazing, and finally Jane Doe a group of emo girls who were cool.
Our set consisted of 3 songs The Smiths, A.W.O.L and You Shall Know Us
We were tight and it was our best ever performance the sound was awesome and the lights were outstanding. We had a mosh pit going during our first song.
We nervously awaited the decision of the judges and they called our name to much screaming from the band and our friends, we got back on the stage and ripped through a turbo charged version of Electra which caused a circle pit!
I would personally like to thank the rest of the band, our small troop of traveling fans, Terry Robinson who has transported our equipment for our last few gigs and really been hilarious on the journeys
Special mention goes to Deb King who has guided us and helped us to achieve this and all of our over amazing band moments.
So what did we win, well it ain't too shabby.
Recording time in a professional studio Equipment that we will choose but we are not sure how much we are given to spend An interview with a local paper and lots of tips and advice that could possibly propel us into better things.
All in all it was a tight professional night and we f**king well won!

Much has changed.
Holy hell its been a while since I've updated you, well in band news since the battle of the bands we've done bloody great to be fair, we played on the unsigned bands stage at reading (uh huh!) and we've found out our prize from the battle, we get a day in a recording studio to make a two track demo and then we get 20 copies of it professionally produced, mixed and in a fetching Lil case, all of which is done through our own ideas. the two songs we are going to do are A.W.O.L and running with scissors (formally known as The Smiths) and its very exciting, which gets me to my next point. Saturday the 17th of September, hell yes, the people we met at the battle of the bands liked us so much they are giving us a main event slot at a gig they r organizing its gonna be great, hopefully we can make some more fans our set list in advance as a treat for those who read my thread is thus:
Running With Scissors Antimony Change In You Elektra A.W.O.L You Shall Know Us
Its gonna be great...

Well safe to say The truth thread has made entertaining viewing oh hell yes, but this thread is band related only, so hows it going... very well thanks we played a slightly scrappy but compelling gig last week and we got a great reception.
we got a gig next week some covers and two of our own.
I predict a riot dakota Running with scissors (Katharsis) Rip it up Change in you (katharsis)

Yea as mark was saying it looks like Running with scissors and A.W.O.L are the two tracks we are gonna record, we're very excited i must say, and yes again just reiterating what mark has said our newest creation "Shadows" is very different, it rocks but has no distortion, its a really urgent song and reminds me as kinda a mix between A.W.O.L and Dorian Grey with a tiny hint of The Itch in their, the lyrics are almost done as a first draft and its pretty dark to be fair...thus the name. So what are we as a band doing now? well we have the charity gig next week so thats our main concern and then after that we going to work harder on the songs we already have, several (zero1, Dorian Grey, the itch) are still not 100% complete so we need to do them we are gonna rework bubble gun so that needs to be done and then we'll finish Shadows before working on perhaps one more song making a total of 12 and then we basically slog it out and get them 11 or 12 songs really tight so we have a good solid set list before we start really hitting it.
Well its been great thus far...It can only get better.
