DateVenueDetails
06 Dec 2006 Riff's Bar, Greatfield Nr Purton. Well hopefully this will be our Christmas Party at our favourite venue. We are hopefully to be supported by a new band called Middle Age Spread, who we think will become one of Wiltshires best out and out party bands.
28 Oct 2006 The Furnace, Swindon We have been asked to support 'Budgie' for a second year running and this year we mean support and not the opening slot. Gary our singer has already started creaming his pants but don't tell him I told you so. Anyway see you there for some great music and a few bevies.
04 Oct 2006 Riff's Bar, Greatfield Nr Purton. Well we are back at Riffs yet again this time joining some new bands on a Wednesday evening. The other bands are King Furnace and Riverside Conspiracy. Not sure where we will fall in the pecking order but you know our preferences. Check back for more info as it becomes available.
29 Sep 2006 Rugby Club, Greenbridge, Swindon. Charity gig in aid of ActionAid. This is being arranged by Status and those of you how know her will know that it will be a great night. So come along and support us and a good cause.
15 Sep 2006 Riff's Bar, Greatfield Nr Purton. Come along and join us as we play Marshall Law's warm up gig for Bloodstock. We wil be on early, but as you know we like that, means we get to get a few bevy's in and enjoy the rest of the bands. So watch us, buy us a drink and then rock out to some of the best heavy metal this side of Wooton Bassett.
29 Jul 2006 Rugby Club, Greenbridge, Swindon. National Association of Bikers with Disabilities charity gig. This year it is being held at the Rugby Club - so cheap beer then. Also the venue gets the Noizey seal of approval as it is next to one of the best Kebab Vans in Swindon. We will let you know our time slot when it gets allocated, although turn up and enjoy the day there will be some good music to be had, until we take the stage anyway.
07 Jul 2006 Theatre Square, Swindon We are doing our part for the Brunel 200 event. Expect us on stage (outdoors) at 18:00. There will be many other acts both musical and street theatre. So come and join in the fun.
05 May 2006 Gorse Hill Club. Well they have asked us back, must have been the beer we drank. This venue is becoming the place to be on a Friday night and is a great place to play. We are going to be recording this gig with the intention maybe releasing something. So come along, make a noise in the crowd and in years to come you can play it back to your grand children and say 'listen to that noise in the crowd - it was me'. Broadside love to give back to our fans.
03 May 2006 Riff's Bar, Greatfield Nr Purton. Well Andy and Tiggy have just won Music pub of the year for the second year running (well done) and now feel they can take the risk of asking us back. This time they have insisted that we headline (Andy just think of all those lost beer sales from the band). When our resident lounge lizzard at Riffs gets his ass into gear we will post the name of the band offering to support us.

LATEST NEWS - we are to be supported by:
Spinal Tap
Oops sorry meant:
Vinyl Matt.....

03 Mar 2006 Gorse Hill Working Mans Club. Rock n' roll venue or what - well on the night we are there we think so. So come and see our fave band and yours playing more of their own original songs than ever before. Should be fun, for you that is we have to play and that means our normal foray to the bar area will be seriousely curtailed. Anyway upshot is some of you will stand a chance of getting served.
22 Oct 2005 The Furnace, Swindon Supporting those stalwarts of British Rock - Budgie. Should be a great gig and we will be in the bar after our slot having a beer and learning where we are going wrong.......
17 Sep 2005 The Famouse Ale House, Swindon We are playing this charity event for the National Association for Bikers with a Disability (NABD) . Not sure when during the day we are on yet but will post an update here when we know. Come along and support this great cause, enjoy some great music and have a few beers - we are.
10 Aug 2005 Riff's Bar, Greatfield Nr Purton. Were back at Riffs again - they must love us... Anyway this time we are supporting a new tribute band called The Purple Project (guess which band they tribute). We off course will be staying in the bar afterwards coz we is all Deep Purple fans (Oops gave it away).
05 Aug 2005 The Vic, Old Town, Swindon Well finally we managed to find a support date with Marshall Law and this is it. Come and say goodbye to the old back bar at the Vic which soon after our gig is to be refurbished. We just want to say the rumours about us and wanton destruction are not true and we will not be responsible for the refurbishment.

23 Dec 2004 Riff's Bar, Greatfield Nr Purton. Well christmas is here and we have managed to coax Danny out for his final gig with us at this party in aid of Christmas Care. There will be auctions of many music related items from CD's to Music lessons on drums and guitars with a recording session as a momento plus many more. So come and do your XMAS shaopping from the comfort of a bar stool and help us say a sad goodbye to Danny.
22 Nov 2004 Area 51, Swindon OK a Monday night again and this time we are with both '7 Sins' and 'The Saints'. The gig was booked in our name so in theory we headline but heh it's the bass players birthday so we go on first (or should that be thirst). This is to allow us to celebrate, our bass player is rough enough without letting him play drunk. So that is us first, about 8'ish then The Saints with 7 sins wrappin it up. See you there, by the way it will be a couple of quid on the door to get in but see the band for flyers etc.

16 Jul 2004 Area 51, Swindon Ok folks we are back here again but notice the change of night and the fact that we are now the headline act - goody goody.
