15-08-06 - Moving along :-)
Three more ND tracks are bubbling along...one's been called Clockwork (for now), whislt the other 2 are still unnamed, all are radically different to what we usually do...maybe you'll here them around the end of the year? :-)

31-07-06 - Popworld Promotes and an update!
Cheers guys, we ended up 18th (out of over 700) on Popworld Promotes voting competition for June 2006 :-) Also, there's an update on our lack of busy-ness over the past few months...all good reasons trust us!
Check out it - Here on our myspace site (The blog bit)

15-05-06 - More lyrics added.
Lyrics to Ball (as played live @ Acoustic Night) and Soulmates now added to the Lyrics Section.

13-05-06 - Couple of photos from the Acoustic night.
Absolutely tremendous night. Check out the GLMS forums for more comments. More to come people, but here's a couple to start you off. (Click for larger image) Taken from D. Parody's photography website - Here

08-05-06 - Spring Festival Acoustic Concert tonight

Amongst the Bands and Individuals performing are: No Direction, Seven Sins, Mellowmind, Horizon, Craig Macdonald, Sugar Plug Fairies, Chris Johnson, Los Yanitos, Nolan Frendo. Tickets are priced at £5, show should run from 8pm until 11pm.

08-05-06 - 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!

27-04-06 - 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 - Couple of weeks to go
Not long now till our assault on 2006 begins. Expect more than one new song to be debuted. (Yes, we've been very busy...)

25-01-06 - Jan Break
First Gigs of the year confirmed, starting at the Lord Nelsons...expect some new goodness to be unveiled ... including Brandy BabyCham Girl... :-)
Gigs section updated, along with Photo section (now with Official Band photos)

11-01-06 - Jan Break
2005's been a hectic year for ND, so a well deserved break is being taken during the month of January. Quite a few new songs are in the pipeline, so it gives a chance of getting them ready... :-) Gigs will be arranged very soon, so log back soon.

03-01-06 - Photos from Nelsons GSA Gig
Few photos from the GSA gig @ the Nelsons bar are now up in the Gallery section...
As an update, were up to 79th now on Songplanet's most played Artist lists...hee hee!

23-12-05 -Happy Christmas!
