Groan Updates

[Covet Chaos]

Our first gig of 2011 will be THIS.

We will be playing some new songs that will be out on our second album. Speaking of second albums... we're pretty much done writing bar one song I think. We're also due a split EP out with Finland organ grinders Vinum Sabbatum. We need to work on that a little first.

ALSO we'll be doing a bit of touring round England hopefully as part of a Doomanoid tour and a few dates with Witchsorrow.

Errr what else... We have a management deal! So anybody wanting to book us, here's where to go:

Groan's top 10 of 2010:

And an interview that really gets us, from a highly respectable source too:

"The Sleeping Wizard makes no bones about its love of stonerizing, and as these guys are really just getting started, it’s hard not to be excited about their potential."

New Groan already? Fuck yeah.

 

[Covet Chaos]

I think we have some dates set for recording it.

20th-23th August at Foel studios. I'm going to make sure we record through the same set ups as Blue Cheer and Electric Wizard when they recorded there.

 

[D.Ingram]

I'm really, really, really looking forward to this you horrible cunts.

 

[Keenan]

As am I. Any chance of some longer songs this time around?

 

[Covet Chaos]

There are longer ones... But we run the risk of getting boring if we drag out songs. There's some short straight up rockers on there and then songs with a decent length. 8 tracks... should be about 40 minutes I thinnnk. It's gonna blow The Sleeping Wizard out of the water... But that album will always be special to me as it's helped me to tick many things off my "Things to do before I die" list.

I still find it hard to believe people like my music.

 

[D.Ingram]

Well, we do. Deal with it you horrible wanker because Groan is totally wicked awesome.

 

[Keenan]

Yeah so it better not suck! Or we'll............ Just...... buy it anyway and love it regardless.

 

[D.Ingram]

Probably, I'm a sucker for good stoner rock

What I said about the psychedelic prog track has now been out-dated. It'll be on a split EP we're doing.

This isn't Groan but it is my Stafford band.

I see Groan are finalists for the support slot at the Evile gig in Manchester

 

[Covet Chaos]

So we are. Well point your votes that way I guess... But now it's down to 'public' and we won't have as many friends as the top bands. So ahh well.

 

[metallicdistort]

Voted for Groan. Encourage others to do the same:

If Groan won I'd be very tempted to see Evile on the Manchester date

 

[Covet Chaos]

We won't win. We said from the start Wolfcrusher will win. They have no real demos. Played 2 gigs. They just have a lot of friends.

This is a popularity contest, so you don't need to vote for us.

 

[metallicdistort]

Anyone could win really if they used enough proxies

 

[D.Ingram]

It's a shame though. I'd've loved to have seen a good band open for Evile (not saying that Mutant aren't good though)
