- God, we've missed it :)
One World Beat was great. As usual. New songs went down
a treat, especially "The Test", which will form part of
the new recordings later on this year. Thanks to all the bands who
played, and everyone who put their hands in their pockets for charity!

- Songplanet statistics, Bandroom & upcoming gigs.
Bit of a transitional period at the minute, but our popularity
on songplanet.com isn't diminishing! All of the 7 tracks off the
EP have been selected for auto-play, with 119 plays in the 10 months
we've been on their listings. Our tracks have been selected to play
by DJ's 161 times too! CoDependency sits 9th most played tracks
of the past half-year (Twisted is in there too at 85). Currently
43rd most played band, and rising!
Now, the band room, having lost it with the departure of Chris,
moves have been made to obtain a new one. Things look great for
the future, as Gibraltars "Rock on the Rock" club are
to commence building of 10 new band rooms within the next 2-3 weeks.
w00p! Guitarist? Well, we'll have news on that very soon...let's
just say we're over the moon at the minute!
Upcoming gigs? Well, you've got them there to see on the right of
your screen, Next week its one world beat time again, and a few
days after there's a very special acoustic night down at Ince's
hall, where Wit & Lo will be performing a couple of acoustic
numbers, along with many other bands from Gibraltar, both young
and old. Should be a great night celebrating Gibraltar based musicians...There's
a possibilty of another gig after these two at the Rock on the Rock
club, following that we will be concentrating on recording as mentioned
previously...
12-04-06
- The Search begins!
Big news. Chris has decided to leave the band, a return
to drumming on the cards for him. Therefore we're looking for a
new lead guitarist, based in Gibraltar. If you've got a passion
for indie music, are half decent on a guitar and fancy having a
bash, give us a shout. The next 6 months are going to see us go
back to the studio in order to cut our first full album, so that
what to expect in the near future! Just drop us an email if intersted,
and of course a little bit about yourself! Get it done!
07-04-06
- Back from Holidays!
Yep, we're back from our jollies! Things have obviously
been a little bit on the quiet side recently (for a change!) but
we'll have news (recording wise........hintage) very soon :-)
15-02-06
- Reduction on our EP
N-D will be recording sometime in the early summer. (Yaay!)
We've made our EP cheaper to buy 'cos of that, check out the Icon
to your left. It's now £3.50 + around £1.30 postage.
Bargain!
13-02-06
