IN THE STUDIO
The rehearsal studio to be precise... not actually rehearsing, but writing!! That's right, we've re-entered the studio to finish writing our next few releases which we started almost a year ago. We're roughly about 50% done and we're demoing as we go along, so we're hoping to have it all written and to be entering the recording studio either later this year or early in the new year.
Keep an eye on all our social networking sites as we'll be posting up studio diaries covering the whole writing/recording process!!
More details to come x

Behind Crimson Eyes & Cola Wars East Coast Tour July 2010
After 6 years, 400+ shows, 2 EPs, 2 albums and countless bottles of Vodka later, hard rock heavyweights Behind Crimson Eyes, or BCE as they are more affectionately known, will embark on their final shows for the year before heading into the studio to record their follow up to 2009's Self Titled LP.
"We have always been a band that has pushed the conventional boundaries of music" Josh Stuart, the band's frontman, muses. "The way music is consumed these days has changed so much since we started back in 2004, yet we see the same monotonous album release sycle that has been in place for over a decade. We want to do something different, something grand and something that will be more in line with the times.". That 'something' is a 3 part EP series entitled "See You In Hell", with the first chapter set for release later this year, and subsequent EP's a couple of months later.
"We realise that people don't want to have to wait 12 to 18 months to hear new material. This method will enable us to get back to our roots and constantly deliver new music to our fans.".
This 'grass roots' ethic will resonate into their final tour for 2010 where we will see BCE play a selection of music from their back catalogue, including material from their 2004 demo cd's, EPs and the hugely successful first LP, 'A Revelation For Despair', as well as some new tracks. "We wanted this last tour to be a big thank you to all our fans for all their support over the years." Stuart says.
Joining BCE on their final tour for the year is exciting new-comers Cola Wars (ex members of Bodyjar & For Amusement Only) who released their debut record 'Invader' on June 18.

Tassie fun!!
Well we're about three quarters of the way through the 28 Days tour and it's been nothing but good times!!
All the shows have been fantastic and Tasmania over the weekend was no exception. We even took some time out this time around to dine at the prestige Black Cow steakhouse in Launceston, visit the Cherry Shed in Devonport... and we took a 4 hour detour on our way to Hobart only to stumble across an amazing waterfall. How incredibly rockstar of us!! I know, right? Haha!
We've got some more shows coming up including the COLA WARS cd launch here in Melbourne in June, and some others that haven't been announced yet. After they all wrap up in the next few months we'll be hitting the studio to begin work on our new "release".
Stay tuned!!

....and so it begins
So we've officially begun the writing process for our 3rd full length album. We dabbled a bit here and there toward the end of last year, writing a few songs and demoing them in between tours, but now we're aiming to have the whole album written and ready to record by the end of April.
We'll also be announcing a national tour through May and June with some good friends of ours so stay tuned for THAT announcement real soon!

Last shows for the year!
Well we've just wrapped up our shows with the always amazing Bodyjar and 28 Days. All the shows were awesome and we had such a great few weeks with the guys and their crew!
We got plenty of footage of all the shenanigans, so I'm sure it will surface somewhere along the line!!
Ok, so we have two final shows for the year, both happening this weekend. Tomorrow night, 27th Nov, we head to Cranbourne for an all ages show (details on the shows page), then on Sunday we play the ROAR @ Billboards show with some amazing bands such as Twelve Foot Ninja and Rook.
We'd LOVE to see you all come out to these shows, as these will be our last for a little while.
On the 10th, 11th and 12th of December we'll be hitting the studio to demo 2 or 3 brand new songs. We're SO freakin excited about this new stuff and we can not WAIT for you guys to hear it. As soon as they're ready we'll whack them up on our myspace etc for you all to hear.
Stay tuned and we'll see yez on the weekend!!

Bodyjar Tour starts THIS WEEK!
So right now I'm pretty much feeling like a kid on Christmas Eve... all excited and unable to sleep properly!! There's mere days left before we hit the road with one of our all time favorite bands, Bodyjar. I'm not sure if I'm more excited about sharing a stage, or just the fact that I get to see them live every night! Either way I can't freakin wait!
The first two shows this weekend are on Friday night at Karova Lounge in Ballarat, then Saturday night at the Nash in Geelong. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces!
In other BCE news, we've been busy writing songs for our next record, and so far we've got about 5 or 6 newbies. At the end of the Jar tour we're gonna be demoing at least one of these and getting up on the Myspace player here for you all to check out. If you're a fan of our first two ep's, and A Revelation For Despair, then I've got a feeling you're going to like what's in store for the next album. We've got a few more little surprises coming up in the next few months too, but I'm not gonna give away too many secrets, so you'll just have to wait a lil longer. 
See ya at a show!!

New drummer, new pics, new lotsa stuff!
Boys and girls! What's up??
Well we're absolutely stoked to announce that Mr Dan (Kerbs) Kerby will now be a permanent member of BCE. Those of you here in Melbourne and the surrounds may have seen him with us on the last few Melbourne shows. He's an amazing drummer and you can check out some of his stuff at www.youtube.com/behindcrimsoneyes
In other news, we've been busy tucked away in our little studio writing some brand new material with this awesome new drummer of ours. The new stuff is sounding amazing. It's heavy, melodic, and reminiscent of our Pavour days.
Not long now till the Bodyjar shows, and we've also got a couple of FreezA shows thrown in during November too, so if you're in those areas make sure you come along!
Good times ahead people, very good times! x

Hittin the road to farewell the Jar!
Hey guys..
We're absolutely stoked, and in a way saddened, to be joining the almighty Bodyjar on their last EVER national tour. This is a band that has influenced each of us in BCE in one way or another, and to have been asked by the guys themselves to play these shows with them is truly an honour.
Check out all the dates on the shows page, as we'll only be playing the Victorian and Queensland leg of the tour.
Also joining us on for most of the shows will be 28 Days... coming out of hibernation to once again wreak havoc on the world.
