We've changed our name to Halo Blind - there are just too many Parades out there and it was getting confusing. There's a few reasons why we chose halo (blind) but we're not telling.
Secondly:
We've been booked to play at the Isle of Wight Festival!!
Yes! The big one! With Foo Fighters and Kings of Leon and everything! We're extremely lucky to have been asked to play and we're going to make the most of it. We have 30 minutes to blast out a killer set and hopefully win over some new fans.
I think its sold out - sorry for the late notice - but if you're going or can get tickets, please please come see us play. Nobody else will know who we are so we need people to lead the cheering! Together we're stronger...
We'll be on The Garden Stage, as Halo Blind remember, not Parade (that's somebody else now) on Friday 10th June at 17.30.
If you're there grab us and say Hi!
Thirdly:
Paddy's busy being a new dad and can't play with us right now so we have been joined by the legendary Stuart Fletcher on bass. He was in The Seahorses with John Squires and Chris Helme, and he was in The Yards with our own Chris Farrel. He's also toured in the Happy Mondays and St Etienne. He's an awesome player - punchy. Powerful. ON IT. I can't wait to hear him and Gav pounding the Isle of Wight back into the sea!
Fourthly: (maybe this should have come first)
We won the BEST NEW BAND award at the Classic Rock Society Awards Show! Obviously we're delighted with this achievement and can only stand in humble thanks to everyone who bought The Fabric and came to our gigs. Thanks folks.
At the same time Gav won Best Drummer for being so brilliant!
And Anne-Marie won the CRS Personality Award! Well done for being so great!
Lastly: (this should have come earlier as well)
We've a new website for the new name. Its www.haloblind.com But any old links you still have will get you there as well. Check it out when you can.
