Jas Morris: Rude Tiger

Jas Morris band is now Rude Tiger...

Rude Tiger are a British unique modern rock band from South-Devon, formed mid 2009 and comprising Jas Morris (vocals, guitar), Dan Morris (bass guitar, keys, backing vocals) and D Collings (drums, percussion, samples) The band blends alternative rock, progressive/melodic rock and modern influences to form a very unique and distinguished sound.

Formally the band were called the Morris Brothers Band, who started out back in 2001 but it was not until the summer of 2006 when the line-up was complete. The Morris Brothers Band went onto headlining many of their own shows, selling out to audiences of 400+ aswell as supporting many top bands (such as Wishbone Ash, Johnny Winter, The Troggs, Chicken Shack, Walter Trout, Cliff Moore & Robin Trower to name a few). Not to mention releasing 5 CDs of Albums & EPs.

They have supported & headlined numerous festivals & venues including Worcester's Prestigious HUNTINGDON HALL, Chesterfields WINDING WHEEL THEATRE and AIR FUSION MUSIC FESTIVAL (which they headlined 3 years in a row).

One could say quite an impressive accomplishment for an unsigned band and the perfect lead up to the birth of ...Rude Tiger.

Krisztian Lovrek: tribute to Europe

No not:

Europe (/ˈjʊɹəp/, YOOR-əp) is, by convention, one of the world's seven continents. Comprising the westernmost peninsula of Eurasia, Europe is generally divided from Asia to its east by the water divide of the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian Sea, the Caucasus Mountains (or the Kuma-Manych Depression),[1] and the Black Sea to the southeast.[2] Europe is bordered by the Arctic Ocean and other bodies of water to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, and the Black Sea and connected waterways to the southeast. Yet the borders for Europe—a concept dating back to classical antiquity—are somewhat arbitrary, as the term continent can refer to a cultural and political distinction or a physiographic one.

News: MyGuitarSpace up for grabs

 www.myguitarspace.com   The social network for guitar players.

This site was launched in August of 2008, and has grown to over 4,000 avid guitarists.

It is well branded and presents a unique opportunity,  I believe,  for any business related to guitar instruction or equipment.  I believe this network has excellent growth potential.  

We are putting the site, domain and all related aspects up for sale.

The mailing list alone would be valuable, as the site administrator has the ability to email all members instantaneously.

However this site offers the unique ability to interact and build your own brand through groups, videos, chat, contests, and more.

We included a charities area, to promote worthy guitar  charities as well.

The site features integration with Facebook and Twitter for easy web 2.0  promotion.

www.myguitarspace.com   is  ideal for an online guitar retailer, video instruction-related business, or  magazine.

The site has recently grown organically, so any advertising efforts would have a pronounced positive impact. 
The attrition rate is less than 1%

The software is intuitive and easy to modify, and very well-supported.
.
This site can be managed by a single individual.

We are open to post-sale support arrangements.

It's been a joy and a challenge to be part of the growth of this.
Please feel free to ask question,  and thank you.

Dave Sharman: working on new material and endorsing Hohner G3T headless

I caught up with Dave Sharman, he's been putting together new tracks in his home studio and also hitting the studio with a band to record more material Dave reckons that he should have an album's worth of material ready to go by Q2, the summer 2010.

Dave is also revamping the official website http://www.davesharman.com/ and launching one for the band. The band features Dave Sharman on guitars/vocals, Stelios Fterougas bass & Leon Barker drums.

This is what Dave has to say about his axes of choice:

Hohner G3T headless - ‘'a reliable and solid guitar, especially good for those long trips due to it's compact size and shape, i never go anywhere without my trusted G3T!"

Hohner EGS - ‘' Hohner really are breaking new ground with this baby! The ergonomic design along with this guitar's power, tone and versatility make the EGS a must for the studio and live performances! ''

Hohner Essential Mini-Jumbo Cutaway Acoustic/Electric - ‘' it's got exceptional clarity with beautiful tone, the cutaway is great for reaching up on some of those higher notes''.
